Stream of Consciousness
My recent reflection. Top Story - August 2024.
Life has its ways of teaching you important lessons. Everything that happens in our existence strides its convoluted intersectionality with a purpose, a purpose that in its divinity has an impactful metamorphosis in our reality. How little do we know about what is about to come when we so confoundingly announce that I know this is how my life would turn out to be. In its own magnanimous and unexpected ways, you would get to what you deserve rather than what you want in most anomalies that our choices create. Whether we get what we want or face a delay or rejection, every event is a rendered outcome of the myriad of choices we chose and how divine intervention in its beauty shielded us from the things that could have destroyed us.

Fathers Struggles
Leon stood at the kitchen sink, his hands submerged in soapy water as he scrubbed the dishes from dinner. The sound of his five daughters' laughter filled the air, a brief respite from the overwhelming sense of responsibility that constantly weighed on him. His wife, Maria, sat in the living room, her eyes glued to the television. She rarely acknowledged him these days, and their once passionate relationship had grown cold. Leon had come to accept this new reality, though it stung him deeply.

The Multilayered Nature of Orthodox Vestments
The liturgical vestments of the Orthodox clergy are prefigured in the Old Testament by the vestments of Aaron and other priests, made by the direct command of God "for glory and beauty" (Ex. 28:1-2; 31:10) and intended only for serving the liturgy, for the glory and splendor of the Divine services.

Using AI to avoid conflicts
The words we use, a combination of our tone, gestures, and personality could lead us into conflicts even against our will. This isn’t something we think about very often, but the reason you might be in conflict with others isn’t necessarily an ideological disparity but rather the missteps in our communication.

A reason to betray a friend
Betrayal is a powerful and often painful act detested across the board, even evil persons and people who betray others hate it all the same. There isn’t a feeling quite as unique as being betrayed by a loved one in whom we’ve put all our confidence and trust, no amount of words can describe that feeling. Loyalty is valued by pretty much everybody, we expected it from friends, family, and even people we barely know to some extent, this is one of those rare instances where there is a clear-cut preference between two antagonistic feelings. I can’t imagine a person ever saying they love being betrayed. While betrayal is generally viewed negatively, understanding the scenarios where one might feel compelled to betray a friend can offer insights into the complexities of human behavior and loyalty.

Counting Stars: The Little Rabbit
The little rabbit was a severe insomniac. Lately, she often found herself unable to sleep at night, becoming wide awake at midnight and sometimes unable to sleep the entire night. This made the little rabbit drowsy and lethargic during the day. One day, the little bear invited the little rabbit to watch a movie, but the little rabbit dozed off during the exciting comedy. After the movie, the little bear asked, "Little rabbit, have you not been resting well lately? Your eyes are surrounded by dark circles, and you even fell asleep during the movie."

Taming our Ego
Ego refers to a person’s sense of self-importance and self-esteem, what you think of your own self. Everybody has an ego and that plays directly into their character, actions, communication and their overall decision-making skills. This is one element of our lives which has far-reaching consequences which shape every single part of our entire being, thus the importance for us to understand what it is and how it works.

The Neighbors Are Torturing And Killing My Cats
Yesterday was supposed to be a good day. As I left the house to go do adult things, I just knew it was going to be a good day. And I'm not usually wrong about these things. But yesterday, July 29th, 2024... I was very very wrong.
