  • Ignorance hurts, so as inattention

    Sometimes, we let things pass not because we want to but because it is the right thing we can do. Right means that we don’t want to hurt people; instead, we forgive because we are people. And people make mistakes. As a people, we sometimes make the wrong judgment because of our ignorance or inattention. Read more

    Some of us, admit it or not, vowed that we’ll change when we turn 30. With that, I mean that our lifestyle choices would be different now that we’re finally mature enough to know what should be done. We thought that becoming the responsible adult we ought to be would come naturally with age. But Read more
