Be Raved By That Hopeless Situation

Our hopeless situations, oftentimes they come, give us the impression of a period so totally empty and vacuous; of a period when nothing seems to be available, to be working. The impression it gives us is mostly that of worries, of thoughts that most times breeds unwelcoming concerns. When things appear hopeless, it is practically that moment when it seems everything, every support is gone; it is that period of uphill task when the individual feels he stands alone, just by himself, at mercy's end. When what ordinarily is seen as what makes him a man and her a woman is far gone: no money, no means of getting any. He or she looks right and left, up and down, but to see just nothing, emptiness staring and digging at him, at her. That particular moment he is hopeless. But the truth, however not often seen at a shallow look, is the irony that percolates the situation. It is the truth from discovery of the silent yet stably standing presence of the defining moment of vast availabili...

Be Guided By Your Reasons

"Never let your sentimental crave define your step of judgment; instead, if need be, let your emotions be defined by your sense of reason"    Oftentimes our actions tend to just hurriedly stream from the peripheral emotive drive. That's to say, we just act even suddenly as we become seemingly stirred to act and/or react.  But this is not how an action that should be responsible and should be one we can held really accountable for,  as our decision and actions,  should be done. That action we are answerable to, and which of course, all our actions ought to be, must be one that doesn't take our sense of reasoning unawares. Such actions should be carefully thought out, carefully perused, so that come rain, come shine, we could say 'yes, I did it, yes, I am answerable.' For mostly reasons coming from a failure to think over and subject to reason our choices of actions, many have plunged into regrets and unnecessary self-justification. Because the actions w...

Before You Believe, Be Sure To Be Convinced

Belief, generally, is the acceptance by the mind of what has been received. According to Munro, our beliefs come from the ideas we've been exposed to or have developed from our observations and analyses. On the other hand, conviction depicts that a mind has seen the proof of something which it could accept; it means a sense of being sure of something. In believing, some of the ideas we received might be true or false,  but they soon form our belief system or philosophy once they have been incorporated. This brings the question over the veracity and relevance of what we believe. It's as such necessary to make good reviews of the things we've been exposed to before we accept them to form a deep part of our minds. The above then makes a necessary reordering of the priority flow between conviction and belief. This is coming from the fact that many sees the object of belief as coming before that of conviction. It is rather catastrophic to hold firmly what you are not sur...

Why Men Wear Underpants

Be it briefs, jocks, pants, etc., well, sometimes you wonder why men wear undies, considering that they wear trousers and are expected to be satisfied with that coverage. So While it is true that some men wear Underpants for ostensibly valid reasons,  most wear undies because they don’t know any better or any different, while it also  depends on personal preferences. According to an opinion poll sampled by Quora, an online platform and reproduced by punchng.com,  here are men’s opinion about wearing  underpants. Some respondents are of the view that most underwear for men will tend to bunch up their “stuff” or wad things up in a “pouch” or sock or smother it in excessive cloth. None of these is truly healthy for man parts, respondents say. A respondent who had a beef with wearing underpants says, “Take the scrotum. It’s really a totally underestimated, under-appreciated bodily organ. Look at it hanging there outside and away from your body. Especially look at it ...

Nevertheless, Honesty Still Pay

Chen, a 17-year-old high school sophomore, working as a food vendor, had just finished a food delivery to a customer when he got a phone call, asking him to make another one. But while he answered the call, he accidentally hit and scratched a BMW. Chen hastened to make delivery first. The boy, first of all, made delivery of second order and returned to compose an apology letter which he left at the scratched car. According to CNN, in the morning, when the BMW driver, Xue Zhanmin, assessed the damage to his scratched car, he found a letter the teen had glued to the car door along with 311 yuan ($45) in cash.  Touched by the delivery boy's honesty and realizing he probably came from a poor family, Xue asked the local traffic officer to help him find Chen. As the story circulated through local media reports, he eventually did. When the boy was brought to him, Xue not only returned the boy's 45dollars but gave him 10,000 yuan (approx. $1400)for his honesty.
