It's meant to inspire us to seize opportunities because we might not have them ever again. That's pretty much a false notion as well. It actually strikes the same tall object or even open area again all... Continue Reading →
How Conspiracies Hurt us All
Ultimately conspiracies come from the fact that historically some information was suppressed or maybe unknown. I’m not a conspiracy believer as a whole but for a time I did watch a few of those ‘inside job’ films. They did make me question stuff too for a time, so I see how people do go down...
