"The Real Cause of Heart Attacks"
*"The Real Cause of Heart Attacks"* By Dr. Mercola "We have an epidemic of heart disease in this country and the conventional treatments, such as the use of statin drugs and surgeries involving artery bypasses and stents, typically do not work well.

"As Soon As We Quit Pretending..."
"The great teachings unanimously emphasize that all the peace, wisdom, and joy in the universe are already within us; we don't have to gain, develop, or attain them. We're like a child standing in a beautiful park with his eyes shut tight. We don't need to imagine trees, flowers, deer, birds, and sky; we merely need to open our eyes and realize what is already here, who we really are- as soon as we quit pretending we're small or unholy." - Author unknown
"The Time of Your Life: Learning to Slow Down"
*"The Time of Your Life: Learning to Slow Down"* by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOm "Throughout our lives, we are taught to value speed and getting things done quickly. We learn that doing is more valuable than merely being, and that making the most of life is a matter of forging ahead at a hurried pace. Yet as we lurch forward in search of some elusive sense of fulfillment, we find ourselves feeling increasingly harried and disconnected. More importantly, we fail to notice the simple beauty of living. When we learn to slow down, we rediscover the significance of seemingly inconsequent... more »
"Smile..."

"The Denial System..."
"In order to protect our emotional wounds, and because of our fear of being hurt, humans create something very sophisticated in the mind: a big denial system. In that denial system we become the perfect liars. We lie so perfectly that we lie to ourselves and we even believe our own lies. We don't notice we are lying, and sometimes even when we know we are lying, we justify the lie and excuse the lie to protect ourselves from the pain of our wounds. The denial system is like a wall of fog in front of our eyes that blinds us from seeing the truth. We wear a social mask because it's t... more »

Afshin, "Prayer of Change"
The Poet: Edgar Allan Poe, “A Dream Within A Dream”
Alan Parsons Project, “A Dream Within A Dream” *“A Dream Within A Dream”* "For my own part, I have never had a thought Which I could not set down in words With even more distinctness that which I conceived it. There is however a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy Which are not thoughts and to which as yet I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, Alas how rarely, only at epochs Of most intense tranquillity When the bodily and mental health are in perfection.

I have no way of confirming this, but I bet that if you could interview people across different centuries and cultures, asking them what they wanted most, you would notice a distinct theme in their answers. Some people would want great riches or power. Others would say they want something very specific: to invent a particular thing, or for a particular person to love them, or to win a gold medal or give an Oscar speech. But I su... more »

Facebook slapped with $5 Billion fine for Cambridge Analytica scandal
According to Quizmodo, the Federal Trade Commission, had been investigating Facebook in the wake of its massive Cambridge Analytica scandal.

As of now this is the single largest fine against a tech company by the FTC to date, but Democrats and progressives believe the fine is totally inadequate.
