Pretty Little Weeds
Taddy sat watching as Ayiana scoured the grass, curiously searching with an innocent delight carried not only in her giggles but also in her breaths too. Sitting in a warm shadow, Taddy couldn't help but feel at peace while the strange native girl quested with ever more enchanting glimmers in her eyes as she frantically paced through the grass. With no shadows haunting them, Taddy could finally relax and just enjoy these moments and despite his inhibitions and apprehensions to take on a native child. Strangely to him, often the more unusual the time they shared together became, the more he savoured these fleeting moments, as Ayiana neither understood nor cared for the divide that should have existed between them. However Ayiana had also taught Taddy that despite what should have been, he cared not one bit for the divide between American and native either.

Alexander MensahPublished 2 days ago in HumansThe Tension Between Civic Engagement and Individualism
Consistent, reciprocal, and mutually beneficial interactions between individuals create the social fabric that stitches people together in society. This social fabric is a must for societies to function, and individuals should remain attentive to the fact that any benefits they receive that they did not produce come at the cost of someone else. As the adage goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch; someone prepared the meal. Thus, individuals have a responsibility to pay it forward if they wish to continue to be able to glean from the benefits of a generous community.

Lewis' and Dostoyevsky's Claim C. S. Lewis famously claimed that mankind's instinct for the conception of good—whether through the experience of a guilty conscience or the inclination that something ought to be better—was evidence that there is a God. Over the years, I have spent dozens of hours listening to long forum debates over the existence of God.

In his political epic, Demons, Dostoyevsky introduces us to a man named Nikolai Stavrogin. Both mysterious and charming, he allures those around him by his very nature. However, we find that Stavrogin is merely a marionette. He has accepted the role of being the face of a revolution orchestrated by a man named Pyotr Verkhovensky.

He was the Stalin for the Soviet Union's new dawn, the Adolf for Germany's cleansing, the Trump for America's return to greatness, and the Floyd for BLM and Antifa's social justice looting.

An ideal is a precondition for a functioning psyche. Do you know where you are? Do you know where you wish to be? If you could get where you wanted, would you prefer it was a second-best destination, or would you like it to be what you want, even if it meant a greater sacrifice? If you decide to aim at something, and if you have a standard by which you hold yourself to get there, you have an ideal.
Geno C. ForalPublished 4 days ago in HumansA Case Against Equality of Opportunity
Should people strive for equality of opportunity or equality of outcome? Does a good society allow there to be disparities among people? If people fall through the cracks of a community, is it the role of the government to lend a helping hand?
