On the socioeconomics of being humane
The socioeconomics of humanness lies in the beauty of balancing the aspects of togetherness and isolation. In a world where life coincides with the duality of forces, oscillating between the forces of light and dark, beauty and hate, love and hatred, birth and death, humans are the most endearing and detrimental beings ever to exist. The prowess of intellect and communication, with the stellar mind that created the strides of evolution and lapses of civilization, is undeniably the most striking aspect of what makes humans the most resilient beings of them all.

Multipurpose Wood
A barn full of wood Cut and used for barbecue Or a nice fireplace _ What else is wood used for? To make pencils, to make furniture, to build houses, etc. Be a wood. Be multi-purposeful. Think of all the ways you can provide shelter, warmth, and joyfulness. Let people be at peace around you. Be buildable, meaning be teachable. Don't let them burn you like a piece of wood though. Don’t get misused or abused. You are the most expensive and unique type of wood. You should be cherished.
