If you haven’t read anything by dorannmwin , you might want to. I was enjoying her writing for quite a while, but I have a whole new reason to click through to her these days. She’s one of those people that gives me hope for humanity. A lot of people…
The Disease of Society and Chasing the Symptoms
As I said, I think that I and people like me spend a lot of time thinking about the state of the world and trying to figure out what the source of it is. There are as many theories as there are kinds of people, and unfortunately not a damn…
The Dangers of Being a Free Thinker
I mentioned earlier the thing about how being open-minded and trying to get others to think and change is dangerous. Some people think that that’s just another crazy conspiracy theory, but it’s not. There are things that really happen, they just don’t make headline news unless the media can find…
What are You Doing for the World?
For quite a while now I have been on a mission to not only be the best person that I can be, but also to do as much as I can for the world. I write here as a way to share ideas and inspiration and create change in people.…
The Slow Global Mind Hack
You’ve been mind hacked. I’ve been mind hacked. Most of the world has been mind hacked. Are you aware? Are you fighting it? Are you reversing it? People often rail against the idea that they’re being mind hacked, but they are, and it’s happening every day. Newspapers, television, movies, magazines,…
Facial Piercings – Wear Band Aids or Get Fired
My recent piece on tattoos got me to thinking about other body adornments, namely piercings. I have 7 piercings myself, and I have considered getting more. Like tattoos, I don’t think piercings should affect your ability to get or keep a job, but not everyone shares my views. I remember…
Gender Stereotypes in Toys – More Thoughts
Someone just commented on my article about gender stereotypes in toys and it got me to thinking about how ridiculous the whole idea is anyway. It has always been strange to me that there are “woman things” and “man things”. Let me try to explain. “Cooking is woman’s work!” “Hair…
Violence is Sometimes Needed
One of the many things that hit me last night when I had the deep conversation about my life and how I’d strayed off my path was the idea that pacifism isn’t for everyone. Some people think that it’s the right way to go, but I’ve really been thinking about…
Suspended Coffee – Free Coffee for Those in Need
I just watched a video on KarmaTube about “suspended coffee” and I think it’s a really wonderful idea. Basically, when someone comes in to buy a cup of coffee, they have the option of also paying for a second cup. They don’t get that cup, but instead the shop keeps…
Should Prayer and Religious Symbols Be Allowed in School?
Many schools across the country are currently battling over whether or not prayer and religious symbols should be allowed in schools. Is it a clear-cut case of separation between church and state, or is it a cloudy matter of personal expression? In schools all over the US the question is…
Pause for Peace in Schools Across America
A comment made by TheresaWiza on one of my posts inspired this, so thank you. The post was about whether or not religion should be allowed in public schools. She mentioned the idea of kids pausing for peace, and I really like that idea. Imagine this: Instead of starting the…
Dark Doesn’t Mean Evil
This is a post that I made trying to explain to people the difference between being “dark” and being “negative”. I hope that it helps you understand the difference, and maybe if you’re struggling, you can use this to help explain it to someone else. I’m Dark, Not Evil. I…
My Rights, Your Rights … What About Human Rights?
In my ongoing quest for personal growth I have been thinking about and talking about a lot of things. One of the things that has come up is the issue of rights. People these days are fighting so hard for various rights, but they’re not thinking of the bigger picture.…
The Shades of Gray in Human Behavior
This goes along with the article of “Dark doesn’t mean evil”. There are so many different kinds of people, and so many kinds of behavior, that people can be confused. People can also have the mistaken idea that there is a right and wrong way regarding things that are subjective.…
