"Life isn't fair." - The motto of those who don't care about just how unfair life has been to someone else. "Life isn't fair". I hate that saying so incredibly much. It can't be defeated because it's technically true. It's true because it makes itself true via its use and application by those...

I am using myself as an object of study because I think that I will learn how to do better the things that I want to do. Using myself as an object of study is similar to when visual artists make self portraits. They observe themselves, record what they see, and in the process, presumably...

The rest of the world should follow the example of the Australians to protect children from skin cancer. They require that children wear sunglasses, hats, and long sleeves and cover their legs when they come to school. They have more reason to do this than the rest of the world, since the...

Hurt Me This title was made on the premise of opposites. I thought of what I wouldn't like. I don't want to be in pain. I don't enjoy pain, physical or mental. I try to not hurt people or animals. The idea of not doing anything that makes me crazy, sick, or stupid is related to that. The...

Your skin cancer risk has increased because of climate change. Your children are even more likely than you are to get skin cancer because they have been under a thinner ozone layer for their entire lives. Your grandchildren are almost certain to get multiple skin cancers. I am not telling you...

To be 'in the doghouse' means to be in trouble. If you were in Snoopy's dog house, that would be pretty great, though. Snoopy has an incredible house, something along the lines of the TARDIS, as far as the relationship between the outside and inside of the structure goes. To select/to pick/to...

goodbye/Goodbye "There's no good in goodbye." This saying is based on a lack of understanding of the meaning & derivation of the word "goodbye." "Goodbye" comes from "godbwye" which is a contraction of “God be with ye.” Is it true that “goodbye” is actually short for a religious phrase? |...
