Do we sincerely and honestly believe in equality, as more than a fantasy, as something that could one day actually be? Excuse me for asking, it's just not easy to see.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 76: Mistakes Are For Us to Learn From.

Life is the opposite of death, yet it includes it. The nighttime forms part of the day's 24 hours, yet is the opposite of daytime.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 75: Energy, Instinct and Intuition.

The whole of life is evidently all energy; hence we are all emanations of this energy. We have fair basis to believe that we are not separate from anything, as the whole of matter is energy as well.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 74: “The Trouble Is You Think You Have Time.”

Jack Kornfield said that "the trouble is you think you have time.” We all think we have enough time.

We know that we have to set things straight … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 74: “The Trouble Is You Think You Have Time.”

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 73: Use Your Talents to Shine A Light.

Life's about sacrifice, you gotta put in work because people's hearts have grown cold as ice. No one is obligated to lend a helping hand, so don't expect anyone to understand.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 71: Humility and Balance in Life and Spirituality.

What is addiction and what is recreation? Where is the line between harmless fun and reckless behavior? Are some addictions worse than others, and if one doesn't mind being addicted, then is it a problem?

70 days into this writing goal, every day writing a thousand words and posting them on here.
