LOVE( I LOVE LOVE)❤️
What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. The word hate is not appropriate as it is in the frequency that invites catastrophe. The word explain is a little bit better as it gives the opportunity to communicate. But still it is not perfect. Asking someone, to be diplomatic and not to use…

Once Upon The Time
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence? Hehe. Just smiled when reading this question. Biographies are written when one feels that the life slowly comes to an end.

Life Purpose
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life? Well, living long and without fulfilment is worst than living shorter and going fulfilled and satisfied with what you have done in this world. What does it mean to be fulfilled, you might ask? What is our duty as humans? Maybe the…
