Let's dive deep into life and its complexities
Are you INFJ? Or ENFJ? Or an empath? Or a healer? Or a nurturer? Or a thinker? Or a reader? Or a listener? Or your love language is quality time? Or your personality color is “yellow”? Or green? Or blue? Do we need so many labels? Do we need to be rigidly defined by them?…
In a prior topic, I covered the problems with parents who soapbox what has become an anthemic mantra in the dating world: “My kids are my world and will always be first.” I explained that although it is crucial to raise kids to be productive, contributing members of society who make the most of their…
The industrial revolution in the 20th century was a golden child for catapulting the U.S. into superpower stardom. War — despite being the worst, most tragic consequence of humans working against each other instead of with each other — also had a big role to play in humanity. Namely, it pushed the U.S. into aggressively…
For those of you who have wondered: “When will Cee Vee call out men on their destructive, morally bankrupt behaviors?” Your time has come. We all know the old saying. “If I had a dollar for every time…<fill in the blank>”. Well, at the risk of overusing this already overused expression: If I had a…

We have all…
Danny was a fan of World War II. He also loved a good dystopian story. All the greats: Brave New World, 1984, Fahrenheit 451. And he was enamored with technology: touch screen devices, 100% wireless communication, waving his hand as he walked through rooms, turning lights, TV screens, sound systems, on and off, all with…
