  • The Body Can Exist Without a Mind; The Mind Cannot Exist Without a Body

    The Body Can Exist Without a Mind; The Mind Cannot Exist Without a Body

    Perhaps this is proof that the body is more important than the mind; the mind cannot exist without a body, but a body can exist without a mind.

  • Peace And War

    Peace And War

    For myself growing up, I grew up in a traumatic childhood situation of war-like situations. Poverty. Not during whether my mom would be able to pay the rent at the end of every month. Not sure if my dad would steal money from mom and gamble it away (it happened many times).

    Growing up was good for me. Why? It hardened me. Truth be told, the hardest years of my life were probably middle school. High school was hard, but far easier. College was a cake walk. Becoming self-employed was difficult, yet fun, challenging, interesting, and I already knew what it felt like living with little (I was never afraid of going broke or bankruptcy, because I saw my mom go through it, and it wasn’t that bad). But anyways, in my life I have had cycles of war and peace. Then peace and war.

    Now, this is my thought:

    American society has had a very long period of peace (at least for us private citizens in the states). Now, with COVID, we are at war.

    So what will happen?
