For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Are Humans Still Evolving?
Evolution is a fascinating process that continues to shape the human species in remarkable ways. While on the surface, it may seem that humans have not changed much from our early ancestors, a closer look reveals the intricate ways in which we are evolving. One striking example of human adaptation can be seen in the Bajau people of Southeast Asia. These skilled divers have developed extraordinary breath-holding abilities, allowing them to stay submerged for up to 12 minutes, far surpassing the average person's 30-second limit. This exceptional skill is not only a result of training and experience but is also linked to a genetic mutation that has led to their spleens being 50% larger than average.

Grace in the Soup Kitchen and the Parking Lot
My city has been deeply scarred over the last few years. Many businesses have closed and are boarded up, and countless people are on the streets, in tents, near busy roads, and in residential neighborhoods. The officials seem incapable of doing much to remedy this crisis.

It goes from childhood sandbox alliances to adulthood's complex social webs. It is in constant flux, shaped by the passage of time. But what exactly happens to our social circles as we age? Is there a science behind the friendships we make, keep, or let drift away? They drift away like boats untethered from their docks. This story delves into the complex dynamics of friendship. It explores how our social connections change across our lives. These changes show us about being human.

IwriteMywrongsPublished 8 days ago in Humans"To Be or Not to Be"
Ironically, the worst pain involves giving birth. There are those, however, who have given birth before or after a barbarous introduction to kidney stones and have stated that the latter took the cake and thrust it against one’s face till the only thing one could wish for was utter unconsciousness. I would have shot myself dead at each occasion in which I had suffered the effects of a kidney stone (there were often more than one), if I had owned a gun, before the morphine shot would cheat my brain into “thinking” that all was well again. I still do not own one, but I could get a gun and wait for the next stone to strike. But why not use it to stop the steady pain and suffering? Why not press it against my left temple (I rather like the right one) and shoot (pain, no more; dead, instead)? Because suicide is painful as well, and pills do not achieve it in most cases. On the other hand, assisted suicide would be one’s best bet, but one has to be terminally diseased to open a death account, and it can be costly if one wants to depart in style à la Switzerland, although there is no elegance in dying, unless one considers films (not documentaries) to be copiously representative of real life.
Patrick M. OhanaPublished 8 days ago in HumansThe Ripple Effect of Generosity:
I can boldly say that we live in a world where a good number of people seek for their own benefit, trying to pursue selfish interest and personal gain, the quiet yet profound impact of generosity stands as a beacon of hope. From the smallest acts of kindness to the great gestures of philanthropy, the ripple effect of generosity knows no bounds, extending far beyond the initial act to touch lives in ways both seen and unseen.

Love. I wonder what you think when you hear the word "love". Do you think of a person? I feel for most people, the definition of love is tied to a person.

Hindsight
I recently was having a conversation with my boyfriend about some of the things that were a part of my life as a homeschooled Christian child. During this conversation, I realized that there were some things that seemed entirely normal at the time that now seem...odd.
