Lately, the news has been filled with stories that make it hard to believe in fairness. Corruption, greed, and injustice seem to dominate the headlines, and it’s frustrating to see those with more still wanting more, while others struggle with less. It's truly stunning how the super rich seem to care only about growing their … Continue reading The price

UN-invent
If you could un-invent something, what would it be? Social media. It's really a super super bad invention! Yes... I really say that! Karin Sabrina

The WordPress sent me this a couple of days ago. And I was genuinely surprised! 1000 posts, so many stories! What did I write? If I assume 1 story a day, it means 1000 posts equal with almost 3 years of writing. Wow! Am I changing? Hmm... I need to go back to the first … Continue reading 1000
