Decisions, Emotions

Posted on March 31, 2008 by d3admin

News Flash: Reality Is Your Friend!

Posted on March 28, 2008 by d3admin

I don’t believe in mystical devils and possessions. But I do believe in their real-life equivalents. People actually create their own demons. No, they don’t mean to do so–but they still do. How? Mainly by refusing to face facts in … Continue reading →

Those Who Can, Reason; Those Who Can’t, Insult

Posted on March 26, 2008 by d3admin

Those who have arguments provide facts, along with conclusions. Those who have none, provide insults. Matching insults with insults doesn’t prove you grasp the truth. It doesn’t do justice to the truth. It only shows you have no arguments, either. … Continue reading →

Permit Your Child to Have a Mind

Posted on March 22, 2008 by d3admin

A Friend Indeed

Posted on March 10, 2008 by d3admin

A friend who asks how you’re doing, instead of talking only about himself, is a friend with the mental well-being to think about something other than himself. Don’t applaud him for being selfless. Instead, applaud him for being well put … Continue reading →

Manners, Please

Posted on March 4, 2008 by d3admin
