Humans have an odd way of finding reasons to be upset, something that is exacerbated in multicultural societies. I mean, why not take against someone for their skin colour?

Peace and Common Sense: Intro
The discussion around world peace has been on the table all my life. Groups have been formed promoting peace, some of them stupid enough to do stunts that set people against them.There have been leaders such as Gandhi and his peace through non-violence, yet no one has been able to convince the people on thisContinueContinue reading “Peace and Common Sense: Intro”

On Society: The Other-hood of Man
One of the problems with our society is that we’re taught to see people as ‘other’. When in fact if you could look below the skin you would see exactly the same components. Over the centuries we have divided ourselves by race, religion, colour, creed, and now gender. These divisions are so many centuries oldContinueContinue reading “On Society: The Other-hood of Man”
