The "Invisible Labor" Women Do That No One Ever Talks About
Issues like the pay gap, representation in leadership roles, and overt sexism are rightfully given a lot of attention in the ongoing conversation about gender equality. But beneath the surface of these obvious disparities is a more subtle and frequently unrecognized burden: the "invisible labor" that is primarily performed by women. While the division of household chores is undoubtedly a factor, that is not the focus of this discussion. Rather, it includes the invisible emotional, mental, and organizational responsibilities that disproportionately affect women, subtly influencing their lives and impeding their advancement.

But Ralf I don’t have anything to write about.
It always amazes me when someone tells me, “but Ralf I don’t have anything to write about.” There is always something to write about. I can understand that someone might be thinking but my life is boring. But I found that this is rarely the case if ever.

The Many Experiences of "Cloud Atlas"
The video is attached below. Godspeed and be kind... "The lovelorn, the cry-for-helpers, all mawkish tragedians who give suicide a bad name are the idiots who rush it, like amateur conductors. A true suicide is a paced, disciplined certainty. People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call it a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reasons: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it – suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching. The only selfishness lies in ruining strangers' days by forcing 'em to witness a grotesqueness."
