Hungry and alone, he thought he was forgotten. But he wasn’t… — I don’t mind the darkness but the last few nights the air echoed with strange sounds. Sirens screamed down empty streets. Loud bangs split the air like thunder but from inside the houses. Screaming. People crying. Children bawling, begging for their mamas and papas... I didn’t see the man that…

It’s time to toss it into the dustbin of history — “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.” Lord Acton. Pick a man, any man you know — real or imagined — let’s do some armchair psychoanalysis and pick apart his psychology to see how it manifests in the world. For our…

The Strategies I use to cope with existential dread — I face-timed my sister a couple times this week and she didn’t pick up — at least not right away. Later on, she called back. Busy she said.
