As the newest contributor to PAXNation I thought it best to introduce myself, but the question was how to do so. Then it came to me, not in a dream, or a flash of inspiration… but with two days that showed glimpses of true beauty online. The first was a question started on Twitter by […]
We live in a world that has become defined by US and THEM. This concept has become ingrained in the very fabric of our societies. We have all been taught to focus on what makes us different, instead of what can bring us together. It is so much in human action these days that we do it […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I lost a friend the other day. I thought we were close. It got me thinking about what friendship really means. I was wondering if I was the problem, or maybe I just didn’t really understand what friendship means. I was so deep in thought about this question that I did not watch where I was going, […]
