correct please
I was avoiding (or I avoided?) Omar Hayyam because I had a cursory view of his works, thinking that he wrote about nothing but women and wine. In a random way I've better familiarized myself with his philosophy and found some thoughts (ideas) that occur to me. It's about meaning of life that personally I don't see. What is life? Who gave me this life? Why do I live? What will be after? These questions can make anyone who try answer them (or after word crazy?) crazy. Better don't asking yourself and don't find the answer to not be mad. The salvation from these questions is not knowing about their existence. Or to forget,become oblivious. Omar Hayyam was engaged these questions trying to understand what we are living for.

Well... I'm not an English expert at all but I can try to share my thoughts on this text :)
I was avoiding (or I avoided?) ...
I would say "I was avoiding" or "I had been avoiding Omar Hayyam " - it would be useful to recall the usage of each tense here. If you're still avoiding this guy, you should use "I have been avoiding" or "I am avoiding" 'cause the action has it's influence on the present state
...Omar Hayyam because I held a cursory view on his works, thinking that he had been writing about nothing else but women and wine.
By chance, I've familiarized myself with his philosophy more and have found some ideas that...
Okay, to be honest, I'm not quite sure what you would like to say by that :) Have you found ideas which were interesting/attractive to you? Or do you just want to say that you found some other ideas beside of women and wine? If it's the second case, I would change the sentence a bit. For example:
By chance, I've got to know his philosophy better and have found some thoughts unnoticed before.
They concern the meaning of life, which I personally can't spot myself. Hayyam asks questions like: What is life? Who gave me this life? Why do I live? What will come after (this life)?
Queries like that can make anyone who tries to answer them lose his mind.
Therefore, it is better not to ask yourself about such issues, in order to stay sane.
The only salvation from going mad with those questions is not knowing about their existence at all, to forget them or force yourself to become oblivious.
Omar Hayyam was, however, absorbed with those questions and kept trying to understand what we are living for.
