Reason First: Hong Kong fire live: At least 36 dead in Tai Po as blaze engulfs apartment buildings
A massive fire encompassing seven out of eight blocks of a high rise in Tai Po, Hong Kong, China has prompted the leader of the country, Xi Jingping, to express his condolences to the families of the fallen. Could he have done more to prevent this tragedy is the question. In all his dealings, could he have focused more on the safety of his people and the security of their dwelling places as opposed to involving himself in geopolitical saber-rattling?

The Power of Silence
In a world buzzing with notifications, conversations, constant activity, and endless digital noise, silence has become rare—almost uncomfortable. Many people fear silence because it feels empty or lonely. Yet, silence is not a void. It is a powerful space where the mind breathes, the heart heals, and true understanding begins. Silence is not the absence of sound; it is the presence of clarity.

When We Fall Asleep: The Hidden World That Wakes Up Inside Us
No one teaches us how strange sleep actually is. One moment you’re lying in the dark, waiting for your mind to quiet down, and the next… you’re somewhere else entirely. A beach that doesn’t exist. A hallway that stretches longer than logic should allow. A conversation with someone you haven’t seen in years — maybe someone you barely remember. Dreams feel random, but they aren’t accidents. They’re the oldest language our mind speaks, and the one we still can’t translate fully.

Seeing Beyond the Pain
Not long ago, I cared for a young woman recovering from a serious accident. She’d survived injuries that would have broken many people, both physically and emotionally. Multiple surgeries, endless procedures, unpredictable pain, and a future she couldn’t quite see anymore. Her mother sat quietly at her bedside every day — exhausted, protective, and carrying the kind of worry only a parent can understand. She looked like she hadn’t slept in days. Her eyes stayed fixed on her daughter, as if letting go for even a second might cause something to slip.

A parable . Content Warning.
The devil once convinced me that I was his daughter. I fell into deep self-doubt, diminishing myself worth by using OnlyFans. Later, when I learned I am a child of God I slowly tormented myself and abused my body by using it as an outlet. I was caught in the same cycle, misusing my body and mind through that platform. My pride and lust led me to use OnlyFans to seek approval and sell my body online. But this is not the whole story; it's just the beginning to end that chapter in my life.

Regret, Ego, and the Multiverse: From Shadow to Ascension
Regret, Ego, and the Multiverse: From Shadow to Ascension Regret is one of the most distinct and haunting emotions in human life. Unlike sadness, which arises from loss, or disappointment, which reflects unmet expectations, regret requires agency. It is the recognition that we had a choice, that another path was possible, and that we did not take it. This makes regret uniquely cognitive, tied to memory, imagination, and responsibility. It is not simply about what happened, but about what could have happened. In this way, regret functions as an emotional memory system, allowing us to revisit decisions, imagine alternatives, and prepare for wiser choices in the future.
