The Tangled Threads: Karma's Role in Our Relationships - Lessons vs. Debts
Relationships are the vibrant tapestry of human existence, woven with threads of joy, sorrow, connection, and conflict. While we often attribute their successes and failures to personality clashes, compatibility, or sheer luck, a deeper, more philosophical perspective suggests that karma plays a significant role in shaping our romantic partnerships, familial bonds, and friendships. Understanding the influence of karma can offer valuable insight into the patterns we repeat, the challenges we face, and the ultimate growth we experience through our interactions with others. But is karma simply a matter of paying off "debts," or does it offer the potential for profound learning and evolution?

Soft Things in Hard Places
We weren’t supposed to stop there. My husband and I were delivering groceries — another routine order, another address, another small task in a day built on movement. The kind of day where time feels transactional. Drop-off. Confirm. Drive. Repeat.

The Island of Secrets: What the Epstein Files Reveal About Human Character
By Hazrat Umer The world was recently shaken by the release of documents known as the Epstein files. For many, it was just a news story about rich people and their secrets. But if we look deeper, it is a mirror reflecting the darkest parts of human nature. It is a story about how power, when left without the light of character, can turn into a monster that destroys lives.

Serhii Gromov, Ukraine’s Peace Museum in Kyiv: UN Peacekeeping History, and the Žepa Legacy Amid War
By Scott Douglas Jacobsen and Milana Olefirenko Bennett (Translator English-Ukrainian) Ukraine’s Peace Museum in Kyiv, founded by former UN peacekeeper Serhii Gromov, documents the country’s contributions to international peacekeeping missions since the early 1990s. Through personal archives, mission artifacts, flags, and correspondence, the museum highlights deployments in the former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Angola, and beyond. A central narrative focuses on the 1995 Žepa operation, which Ukrainian accounts credit with saving thousands of civilians. Operating during Russia’s ongoing invasion, the museum presents a paradox: a peace institution functioning in wartime. Its mission is both archival and aspirational, asserting Ukraine’s identity as a peace-contributing nation while enduring active conflict.

what are the four things that hurt men the most

And I sat there wondering if he was actually hurt or if men just process things differently, if what are the four things that hurt men the most even applies to someone who can go that silent.

Are You Going to Hell for Being Gay?
If someone came up to me and asked, “Does being gay mean I’m going to hell?” I would not answer quickly. That question usually comes from fear. It comes from someone who is not trying to argue, but who is honestly worried about their soul.

I Didn't Ask To Be Here. Content Warning.
I didn't ask to be here! I'm expected to get up every day and well... live. Living means working hard to get an education, working hard to get a job and supporting a family. We work so many hours in a week that the free time we get is mostly sleeping and the other little time we have to relax barely exists. No-one was asked if they wanted to be born, yet we are born and expected to just live.
