Emotional Invested Arguing
There are people I care about that are wrong. I don’t think it matters how clearly or passionately I argue my case that they will see why they are wrong. Perhaps when I point the finger three fingers are pointing back at me. I am however convinced that truth exists and that I have better…

The Authentic Me
There is a horrible lie in our culture that all we need to do is be ourselves. Bill Cosby joked that cocaine made the real person come out. He asked: But what if I am an asshole? We all know how that turned out. People should generally not be content with themselves. We are a…
