What Neighbours Do
“I’m dying.” He said out of the side of his mouth as I stood in the dispensary line at the pharmacy. I was looking for some relief from a nagging bladder infection. I was not prepared for this conversation with my neighbour. A moment passed between us and yet I still couldn’t come up with a response, so I reached out and hugged him, whispering, “I’m so sorry,” into his wrinkled neck. It was the first time I’d ever embraced him. No, that’s not true. One day last Spring, he’d knocked on my door to complain about a dying tree across the road. I slipped through the front door and stood on the porch in my bare feet to discuss the options for the tree. But the conversation went from Town business to neighbourly banter, and then waded into therapy territory. We stood out there for an hour that day. He told me he’d lost a child. That his brother had dementia, as does his wife. He explained his whole life story - where he had come from and how he ended up on Bishop Street, in our little corner of the world. My toes turned purple and stuck to the concrete step.

Belief, what a powerful thing. To believe in Santa Claus. To believe in a God. To believe in something spiritually beyond us.
Chloe Noelle KingPublished 6 months ago in HumansWhat is Happiness
What is Happiness? The concept of happiness may initially seem peculiar, but is it really? Can you accurately define what happiness is? While there is no definitive definition or universally accepted framework for happiness, we have made significant progress in understanding it over the past few decades. This article aims to explore the scientific aspects of happiness, its true nature, and its significance. The Oxford English Dictionary provides a slightly more useful definition of "happy" as "feeling or showing pleasure or contentment." When philosophers discuss "happiness," they typically approach the subject from one of two perspectives, each corresponding to a different interpretation of the term: In the first scenario, our focus is primarily on the psychological aspect. Just as inquiries about pleasure or depression delve into psychological matters, the study of happiness in this sense referred to as the (long-term) "psychological sense" essentially examines specific mental states.

Jean Baudrillard and wars that did not take place.
In light of recent events (namely the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the Hamas-Israel conflict), the title demands a preface. In no way, shape, or form that Jean Baudrillard (and myself) is assuming that lives were not lost during the war, or that the war did not happen. Rather, consider this a thought experiment posed by Baudrillard that I am taking you, the readers, on. The philosopher’s idea revolves around the fact that the Gulf War has more of a presence in media than in “real life.” I, on the other hand, will merely point out the similarities between Hamas-Israel conflict, and the Gulf War. I am not an expert on Baudrillard or the dynamics of Middle Eastern countries, but I do like to think and apply/introduce Baudrillard’s ideas whenever possible.
The mad Scientist
Sometimes we breed evil into our world by unintentionally causing a good man to find that, hidden deep down inside of him is a horrible monster. A beast just waiting for the chance to emerge. A good man! Is there such a thing, we all think ourselves incapable of inflicting pain and horror upon others until we are put to the test. So our devoted family man and dedicated scientist Franz was about to find out.
