We often pass judgements too quickly and too inconsiderately; this is the case for everyone – even though we wouldn’t be the first to admit. As I traveled through numerous small towns and deserted streets I couldn’t imagine living there; everything seemed foreign and outdated, slow and lacking an axiomatic characteristic. I was unable to […]

• Enjoying a road trip depends on enjoying the company of others even if that means traveling alone. • Every man should own a tent. • I fall in love at every small town we stop in; beauty is everywhere. • Why do we kill lightening bugs when we are younger? • Freedom is observed […]

There is much to be said about human interaction; the complex intricacies at every intersection of dialogue, body language, thought, look, and response create an astounding array of interconnectedness. Each individual forms a different interpretation of mutually shared experiences and filters them through a unique conscious and unconscious lens. The result is a beautiful amalgamation […]

I advocate for anarchism and I get crucified. I speak highly of libertarianism and it is looked down upon. I offer thoughtful dialogue as an unbeliever and my morals are questioned. We need to stop vilifying the thoughts of others, and listen without defending. We need to be more receptive to the opinions, perspectives, and […]

“it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it […]

Are we nothing more than a complex reaction? There are reasons behind every action we perform. Whether they are conscious decisions to make a positive change, or a subconscious decision made reflexively with little thought such as buying another pack of cigarettes. Awareness and will are key differences between conscious and unconscious living. The more […]

Rules exist because we are incapable of policing ourselves. We are all selfish, egoistic organisms; when the colony grows beyond a manageable size, universal oversight is impossible. Rules function as deterrents to defectors to improve the overall success of the colony. Rules however are determined by rule makers, and, by their inherent definition and title, […]
