The first in a two-part post about the Seven Wonders of the World both Ancient and Modern.

Many don’t evenContinue reading “The Seven Wonders of the World: Ancient”
Seeking To Find Rather Than Trying To Hide
The important distinction that needs to be made in our lives in order to come to a better understanding and knowledge. What is on my mind today is this idea, really. Day after day we meet people; some we have known for years while others are new faces and every single one of them isContinue reading “Seeking To Find Rather Than Trying To Hide”

The Different Paths We Walk Throughout the World
Humanity’s habit of judging things completely based on only part of the picture.

To be honest, we humans are lazy and judgemental; that is our nature and itContinue reading “The Different Paths We Walk Throughout the World”

Casualties of WWII and the Effect of Nuclear Weapons
