There are a lot of things we hear that we immediately perceive to be lies. Stories. “Narratives.” Brainwashing. A Liberal is just as likely to perceive a piece of right-leaned news is a lie or brainwashing as a Christian is to perceive that a holy book other than the Bible is a work of Sat...

“Going through the motions.” Are you? You probably haven’t the slightest idea, and to be frank, most of us are “NPCs” anyway, entirely incapable of independent thought or behaving in our own best interests. The news. Your friends (whom you’ve likely picked due to similar tastes). Your parents....

There are a lot of things we dislike. Where I live, I often here whinging and whining about snow and winter. “It’s cold!” “It’s too wet out.” “I hate shoveling.” “Winter is too long.” These are all true. But they’re — at the same time — very false. Perception is a powerful skill to cultivate...

What an amazing day. First, you woke up feeling well rested. Then, your buddy asked if you wanted to have breakfast, so you guys grabbed some pancakes at a great restaurant. Immediately after that, you found out you got not one…not two…but three As in your online exams. The As will put you ...

Money is important. It is important because it buys food. Water. Heat. Security. It buys life. It secures stability. And yet, it is only money. Do not be overattached when you have it. Do not be lustfully desiring it when you do not . Do not feel desperate when you need it. It will come ...

How often have you spoken to someone and it feels as though they’re just “Oh,” “Uh-huh,” and “That’s cool”-ing their way through what you’re saying? You’re talking. They’re…just there. Well, chances are you do the same thing to others as well. But, here’s the thing to think about (because after...

In January and February, the lands are painted white by the winter’s might. Forests are like a threadbare shirt — the utter lack of foliage making them as transparent as possible, the skeletal trees practically dead. March and April, the sun is yet yawning and drowsy, but gradually setting a ...

One day, you realize that you have a bit longer than a full hour for lunch at work. While usually it wouldn’t quite be worth it, today you decide you’ll pop back home to have a quick sit down lunch with your wife. You get home, opening the door and stepping in. A strange noise greets you — it...

What is “life?” And “living?” Sure, yes, it’s oxygen, food, water, mating, sunshine, sleep, relationships, stability, and more. But, what is “life?” What is a “lived life?” Is one where we have avoided strife and struggle? Taken the path of least resistance? Sat on the couch to play Call of D...
