However, we can only impress others with similar fixations in the same circle of existence. The more we understand, the smaller the circle becomes.  … Continue reading →

Homo Sapiens – Clever But Not Wise Humans can learn to do such clever things, and boast about them,but how many know their true reality? 🙂

Empathy (continued) Empathy is understanding how our ideas and feelings come about through mental osmosis. None of us have an original thought; thoughts are placed in our minds through social interaction – or rather, social engineering – which we adopt, … Continue reading →
