Emotion ruins algorithims
He was finally licensed. He had fancy letters dangled next to his name,Dr. and M.D. The fancy letters meant he could diagnose those struggling with mental health issues and prescribe appropriate medications to them. It was a good profession in a lot of ways.

1 reason to live
I think of the time where I could of been dead, suddenly as I lay in bed , where I'm sleeping don't seem so bad ... think about suicide, thinking I'm so afraid to die but that's a lie , so the truth I shall give .. really I'm just afraid to live ... Me, God forgive .. I shall love what you give , this world full of grim yet still we can live past the filth yet and still . Don't give up ... stay down and real .. seasons change ,, that's the game players change .. fall and summer different ball game ..

Taking my Zombie Mind on an Easter Egg Hunt
I live with my free mind, the one that is aware and free from adding judgment, and with my zombie mind, the one who wants to run from pain and fix everything all the time. This zombie mind of mine clings and resists. She is impatient and goal driven. She sees, though, that every time a goal is met it is replaced with another goal and with it more suffering until the goal is reached. This endless cycle of suffering has led me to the pursuit of healing my zombie mind. I want to help her let go and know the nirvana found in knowing this moment is enough. This action is good all by itself without any particular results.

The Hotel Clerk
How did I find myself in this position? I kept wondering how I had allowed myself to end up here. Sitting in a hotel bathroom on the floor between the toilet and the shower holding three towels above my head, praying that they would be enough to protect my head from what I was about to endure.

Rickshaw Pullers
It was still dark when I met Mohammed near the central market in Kolkata, the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal. He and two other men were piling dozens of enormous jute bags into the carriage of his black-and-red rickshaw — supplies, he said, to be delivered around the city.

Ram Dass Was Right When He Said This
The spiritual world is less "measurable" than the physical one. While we're equipped with the intuition, and different abilities to help us navigate the spiritual realms - we're still living in a world that comes with its stress, challenges, propaganda; which interferes with our spiritual "antennas."

What is Introversion? Answer to all your questions
It's a basic personality trait that means you like to think about your thoughts more than others. Introversion, one of the Big Five traits that make us who we are, is a continuum with extroversion at the other end. Introverts like quiet and solitary experience less than extroverts.

Moral Incentives
1. Everyone has a duty to herself to preserve her life. I completely agree with this statement because I am aware that after experiencing a lot of harm, she tries to place boundaries to prevent those same cycles from occurring. I agree to protect yourself for the sake of your sanity, but don’t be so overprotective of yourself that you diminish your sense of freedom to concerns of fear. The reality is risk help us grow and sometimes those risk can appear harmful when they aren’t. Would you run if you knew there was an opportunity to grow on the other side of that risk?

Please, can we stop victim blaming?
A Memory I was about 15 years old when a friend confided in me that an adult male, in a position of trust, had made inappropriate advances towards her; but when she told her mother, instead of reassuring her, and promising to address the incident, she said to her daughter, 'And what did you do to encourage him?'
