We are all born into a cyclical life. We are born, we grow up, we marry, we become parents, we grow old and we expire. The cycle doesn’t always work in that order, for sometimes our children die before us. There is also separation and divorce. Life teaches us that nothing remains the same, we […]
Seeing the disparities in this Universe I wonder whether we have taken the time to look at death as it relates to us on a personal level. There is no escape from physical death. As a people we look on death as having no relationship to us, it only happens to other people, we are […]
Is what we were yesterday the same we are today? Growth is a continuous process. If we don’t grow, who we are dies at its core. Are we comfortable with stagnation because it supports our lifestyle and beliefs, regardless of however erroneous they may be? If we can’t comprehend that it is our aggression, exploitation […]
