Feudin’ and Fussin’ and A-Fightin’

There are probably at least 17 gazillion reasons why folks get into arguments. Unfortunately none of them are very valid. Here’s what I mean. Let’s take a look at the base word first. My super-duper dictionary defines “argue” as: “To present reasons for or against a thing”. OK, so the word “thing” leaves a little to be desired but I can translate that to mean an opinion or concept. No problem.

I know it takes practice to do so. If you can see things as they are without having great expectations, then life will be easier. Expectations can only leave us frustrated, disappointed, or resentful if we don't get what we expect. Actually, it's only our expectations which makes us judge something (or s

When Saying Nothing Is Best

I have been noticing there is a fine balance between being able to express your thoughts, perspectives and observations to another individual and it being seeing as such – just observations and being taken as “this is what is wrong” or “this is what you should do.” People seem to think that unsolicited advice is always welcome because they have your best interest at heart, when really their ego has convinced them that their ten cents of advice is far more valuable and earth shaking than anything the individual working through the challenge could ever come up with on his own.

Not To Tell A Lie!

What is right and what is wrong, we all know about it. What is truth and what is lie, we all know about it. Usually we get the message to speak truth and to be right. We internalize the idea that we need to be right and trust worthy. This principle is not very simple indeed. For most of the time, we think we are right in speaking truth but actually we are telling a lie.

My Tortured Path to Creativity

Today if anyone asks me, "Who am I ?" I can answer that I am a writer. It wasn’t always this way. For many, many years, I ran away from being a writer.

I was scared to do all these things even though I really, really wanted to do them. I knew that I had creative ideas, but I was never

Non Medicinal Remedy for Migraine Headache Sufferers

First let me explain regular headaches. These are usually caused by stress and/or tension causing the neck muscles to tighten up. This causes pressure on the blood vessels which in turn causes them to swell from the restriction of the blood flow. The swelling causes pressure on the pain nerves which is then felt as pain, a headache. Aspirins usually cause the blood to thin which relieves the pressure on the pain nerves and thus a temporary relief from the pain. The aspirin is the relief from the effect, not the cause which is the stress/tension.
