Bad deeds take the lead
The article “Why greed begets more greed” by Michael I. Norton. Published on Scientific American on March 1 of 2014 discusses how a simple act of kindness is capable to leave everyone speechless.

The Freedom To Forgive
As a 35 year old woman, I sit here reflecting on my journey. I’d love to tell you that it has been one of sense, logic, and love; but that would be a lie. It’s been a freakin war! My longest war, with the most casualties has by far been the war on forgiveness. Forgiveness, oh forgiveness; I want you, but I hate you! It started off when I decided to conduct honest this "self-examination." I still ask myself why I do this, why can’t I just fall in love with ignorance?

Living with the past, in the present.
I have lived with repressed memories most of my life, and I had no knowledge why. I had an inkling that something bad must have happened early in my life. But I didn’t know what. People kept telling me that if I didn’t remember anything “I must have had an amazing childhood”. I remember wondering “How is that true? How can you assume that? I literally do not remember!”. But it was easier for me to agree with the sentiment than to try and understand why I didn’t remember. It’s only in the last 10 years that I have begun to remember what happened to me when I was 9 years old. But it’s only recently that I have actively begun to try and unravel the events.

?!! Paranoia !?
Recently, I came home from my Mother's house via public transport for which I used a bus pass. Later that day I couldn't locate my pass anywhere. I expressed my concerns to both my spouse and my mother. My spouse suggested I had maybe left it at hers. She suggested maybe it was still in my bag or somewhere on my person. I just had a gut feeling that I had lost it on the way home. Both of them dismissed my thoughts and said "Don't be paranoid, absolutely no chance have you lost it outside. It will turn up." without any authority at all.
