For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
The Geneva Conventions
The Geneva Conventions are a set of four treaties of international law at wartime. They were formulated in Geneva, Switzerland. All of the four treaties are about humanitarian issues. The Swiss Henri Dunant was the person who started the creation of the Conventions. He did this after he saw the unimaginable cruelty of the Battle of Solferino in 1859.

ILLUSION OF POWER
ILLUSION OF POWER Man has always loved power, and the instinct to dominate others has always thrilled his fancy since Adam. This instinct, amongst other things, led to many conflicts, and infamous explorations recorded in annals, across the globe. This exploration led White Europeans into many creeks in Africa and Asia where subjects were found and used for the gratification of power. The peaceful habitats of the locals were disturbed when the power unleashed its malevolent force, first with the slave trade and later with subsequent colonization. No matter how power manifests itself, it is always in disguise of fear, weakness, and ineptitude in a duty of governance and relationship. When a mortal treats another as a subject, forces him against his will, and even destroys his life, he shows incontrovertibly profound psychosis. He is a being that has lost contact with reality; he is delusional and in serious need of help.

A well deserved apology!
Sorry for the one whose mother did not give birth to him, blond hair, white skin, blue eyes. He does not deserve the respect of the civilized refugee, as some of the extreme human beings say, to find himself in front of a bitter reality in which fate serves him in a border tent without heating, food, or safety, or even crumbs of bread to save hunger.

He isn't the Right One
A good man to me is a hard question lately. I grew up thinking my dad was the perfect kind of man even though I knew he had cheated on my mother with his brother my uncle's girlfriend. Even though he left her,(my mother) a single mother of three, and he also left me, my brother and sister in a hard place my dad was always the hero in my eyes. I always knew I was his favorite. I think it's because I worshiped him and that fed his ego, or I cared for him like my grandma, (his mother) did, or I was the one who would stand up for him whenever mom would talk shit about him and that was on the daily.

Ezra Peaks’ Narration (pt. 1)
NOP: Ezra Peaks FILE: No. 16 DOF: 14/ 12 / 78 LEVEL: 8 DOCTOR: Zabinski The skies in Cliff’s Peak Reservation were the most beautifully unappreciated memory I have of my old home. If I close my eyes now, I can still see the deep violet waves passing over the top of the Silverwood Mountains, blending into a light green as it touched the baby yellow of late evenings. Thin clouds like stretched cotton balls would turn rosy in preparation for the approaching night.
