We seem to have lost our way where happiness is concerned. Over the last hundred years, we have become confused about how to create happines in our lives and we are miserable for it. Long hours of work to buy stuff that we really do not need but feel compelled to purchase. This fallacy of consumerism equals ...
Cultural Insanity / Kultureller Wahnsinn / Insanidade Cultural / Locura Cultural

In fact, normality can be the deadliest of ...

More equal than Others / Mehr gleich als Andere / Mais igual que os Outros / Más igual que Otros
The consumption of meat increases, the animals are transported for days or weeks to death, meat remains cheap, the meat mafia goes richer. Many say that is capitalism.

I am not like Others / Ich bin nicht wie Andere / Não sou como os Outros / No soy como los Demas
Most people simply do not like me not matter what I do. And no matter how likable I think I am, I am not going to win over every person I meet. It is impossible to please everyone. I have my own unique personality which means very few people love and adore me, while the majority ...
