Strength

You start off in a perfect room. What makes a perfect room. Well, it’s that everything is equal. The lines, the square, the colour, the centre… You put a door in and I will accept it. It’s wood on the beige and I find it has the right handed door opening mechanism so the mechanicsContinue reading “Strength”

Censorship

Censorship has existed in humanity, since it was learnt, that it is far easier to control humans when they are less informed and, to not mince words, more ignorant. Stop the peasants learning to read or they may rise up against the rulers, don’t allow education, don’t teach subjects, don’t let them dream, don’t letContinue reading “Censorship”

My Dream House

All people see houses as a place to gain shelter and give basic needs such as water and somewhere to get your mail sent lol. But I have more of a different requirement list, which most would find odd. I see a house as a commitment, same as any commitment that you make to aContinue reading “My Dream House”

Education or Ignorance?

So many kids have been left behind, by the system. This is not only an error, but an actual killing of high potential. They are murdering abilities by this mediocre effort towards giving kids an actual and relevant education. Why is children’s education treated as a group project rather then as the snowflakes they actuallyContinue reading “Education or Ignorance?”

Time Conundrum

Ok, now for those reading, this may sound mad, but it does actually make sense if you keep reading. I wrote while following a thought process and I didn’t explain the reasons (because I knew them) as I worked towards my conclusion. So, if you are lost, work your way forward and if you stillContinue reading “Time Conundrum”

Womens Contributions in Sciences, Mathematics and Technology

When I saw a news article saying “Boys not only perform better in maths, they are also more confident about the subject than girls“, I seriously just took a sip of my coffee and said “Poor boys are feeling inferior again, so they’re using small factor statistics to put women down.” They do not lookContinue reading “Womens Contributions in Sciences, Mathematics and Technology”

Grief

You first hear the news, then there is a pause. That pause lasts for an eternity. You see everything, past, present and your now shattered future. It doesn’t even sink in until you watch each thing you had imagined, break as if smashed with a hammer. You yell at whoever is breaking everything, just toContinue reading “Grief”

Justice

Human nature is corrupt and explains why society is corrupt. I put in the Train dilemma to give a better explanation – The train problem is a thought experiment in philosophy that asks whether it’s morally right to sacrifice one person to save five. It’s a famous ethical dilemma that’s also used in psychology andContinue reading “Justice”

STRATEGIES TO DEAL WITH ANXIETY

Focus on Breathing I found that focusing on breathing made me more anxious, due to my intense focus, but other people have success with breathing exercises. Here is a diaphragmatic breathing demo from youtube. This article is a study that explains some of the benefits/research on the effect of diaphragmatic breathing from the National LibraryContinue reading “STRATEGIES TO DEAL WITH ANXIETY”

Hope, Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust

I believe in Hope, as a main tool when dealing with any struggle. Hope is what makes us try to be strong during the toughest battles, either internal or external. Hope, keeps us fighting the despair of every day and makes us tougher. Hope is a wonderful quality of humans. The only time to beContinue reading “Hope, Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust”
