Humanity
Claiming a fake hand is more common among those with a weak sense of self.
One thing you should be able to rely on is your sense of self. It is yours, personal, and steady. Self-concept clarity is a phrase used by psychologists to describe how firmly and clearly you hold it, and they can gauge it using a straightforward questionnaire.

He Was Just Waiting for the Light to Change
There was a boy I used to like. His mother was a teacher in a small rural village. When the earthquake hit, the building she was in collapsed. He ran there looking for her. While he was searching through the ruins, an aftershock came. A slab of concrete fell on him.

I Saw Myself in Twisha Sharma. Content Warning.
A case all over the internet these days — the Twisha Sharma case. A bold, beautiful, educated, and ambitious woman. The kind of woman people describe as “beauty with brains.” She was an MBA graduate, an actress, financially independent, confident, and strong enough to speak for herself.

According to Pejić’s account, after giving birth to a daughter in Sremska Mitrovica on August 24, 1988, she was told the newborn had died, was denied access to the body, and initially left without documentation about the child. Her case became part of Serbia’s missing-babies movement, challenging hospital secrecy, state inaction, and inadequate legal remedies while demanding truth, DNA investigation, and possible family reunification.

It’s These Damn Phones! How Modern Technology May Be Hurting Our Youth
The Paradox of Connection I recently watched a TikTok video from someone in the education field expressing an immediate and noticeable decline among the youth in the academic space. Quite frankly, I can agree! While technological advancement has delivered great benefits, a growing number of educators are raising concerns about its impact on the youth. They are observing an increasing concern that the disadvantages of digital immersion are beginning to outweigh its benefits. A concern not merely a generational gap in understanding, but an unusual epidemic impacting the cognitive abilities, social skills, and mental health of the next generation.
