The evolution of humanity, from one advancement to the next.

Civil Society as an Enabler of Sustainable Development
The past thirty years of the world’s history are filled with major transformations of political and socio-economic systems. Once totalitarian regimes that controlled and governed every aspect of human life fell off. The propulsion for change largely came from the civil society clamoring for an end to authoritarian rule. The lessons learned from the past have clearly demonstrated the ability of citizens in creating peaceful and impactful change that was oftentimes overlooked.

M.A.R.S.H.A
“Six fingers? You must be mistaken Mrs. Landers. I did the Pre-Gen diagnostics myself and there were no indications that of cellular degradation. Radical mutations such as those are impossible except in cases of prolonged exposure to either nuclear or ultraviolet radiation similar to that one would experience on Terra levels one through two-hundred and twenty. It was stated in your husband’s profile that neither he nor any of his family members had ever been exposed to these types of radiation. Could this information possibly been falsified?”

Isn’t it crazy?To think about life and what it really is?I often, well I can not lie to you, I spend most of my time trying to figure out, what is the reason behind it all? I understand the physical and spiritual reasoning to it all.Not the spiritual aspect you are thinking about, though.I will get into further details later on. But have you ever sat there and wondered, how was the 'Big Bang' created,

Series Overview: Why do humans have to pay to stay alive?
Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard just to stay alive in this world? Why it takes so much time, money, and effort to give yourself the basic necessities to just stay at home and do nothing, much less perform to your fullest potential at a job or hobby?

Why do humans have to pay to stay alive? Part 5
First, let’s talk about power. All other topics in this series upset me because of the unjust requirements to obtain such vital resources. This one, however, is different. I am ok with being charged for power; however, I have ideas on how to make it free. Power that we currently pay for is essentially human effort bottled up and used for work.

The Next Wave
On an unusually quiet day like today, when the waves are crashing on the shore just right and the birds have all flown south for the winter, I can almost hear my mother’s singing. My mother loved to sing. She was a soft soprano, like Minnie Ripperton, and on days like this, I’m never sure if it’s actually her or just my memory of her.

A Tall Ship and a Star
My office has no air. Okay, to be more precise, which I’m supposed to be to get paid, there's no air on the desolate, godforsaken, frozen rock where my office sits.

Victory Treasures
The light shone green and purple, and then red, pouring in through the windows. This was a big day and it was time for me to get up. Although we prepared the town square for the parade, there were still some last-minute things to take care of. Breathless, within moments I was running out to the street.

Spicy and salty
A tall man was standing next to the big shining statue of an ancient Warrior Queen right in the heart of a city. He had long and spiky red hair, which he couldn’t stop touching. He was wearing a long robe, covered in different beautiful embroidery. Under the robe there was a light blue jacket and deeper there was a bright white shirt. The robe was covered with a thick leather belt with a scabbard for a long single edged sword. All the people were looking at him, passing by. Some saw him as a weirdo, wearing ancient traditional clothes, some took pictures and mockingly showed him greetings. The man was feeling more and more anxious. With each passing second he was gritting his teeth, looking angrily at any passerby. It seemed as if at any moment he could draw his sword and start slashing everything around.

It was school time and past midday, Lakee and Karthik were spending their free lecture at their favorite spot. A quiet place at the boundary of the school, the side where forest touches the boundary.
