Recipe for Despair

We are all at the core simple human beings but there are opportunistic people who because we are inexperienced prey on our need to belong, to be loved and to be wanted. The next time someone whispers sweet nothings in your ears, or they appeal to you through mega phones, ask of them “what do […]

Ah! A sigh of Relief

I was unhappy about the fact that people having been born had to die and I thought what a horrible life, why does birth have to end in death? Then I had a revelation that death was the only unifying force, for it plucked both the villain and the righteous. Also if there wasn’t death, […]
