How about we decide to end the individuation about surviving and just find points of agreement and work the f*ck together. Heck, maybe if we just pulled it off once it could become a habit.
Larry’s Observations
Where does this notion of love, affinity, affection come from? Is it instinct or something from a higher power? Well now that you asked...
Finding one’s passion could be one of the most exhilarating things one can do in one’s life. It is like rediscovering life all over again.
On this Holocaust Remembrance Day, no more blind eyes are allowed. We must be accountable for the past, the present and the future. If that means shining the light of truth on centuries of prejudice, so be it.
Voice is a lost art, and it is time to resurrect it and make it a new one. This is especially true with the influx of AI and the creation of ChatGPT with its ability to answer questions, and even the audacity to write “poetry.”
Whether you are writing a poem, a speech, a novel, or an ad—as a writer you must be able to transmit a message and have that message understood when received.

I try and start the new year by buying a new pair of running shoes. Even though my running looks more like walking I have never liked the idea of walking shoes. I also sit down with myself and say “self, what ya got ta say for your bad self?”

People do not like to talk about human trafficking. And despite the increased awareness featuring human trafficking in books, films, etc., it remains one of the top illegal commodities in the world.
Surviving (our topic and word of the day) is very important to our species. It is so important and vital that without it—well we just wouldn’t survive, would we?
What are we really celebrating with Thanksgiving? Perhaps we really need to rethink Thanksgiving to be more inclusive of everyone in our population. This may be controversial in our overly sensitive times.
People lean in to hear a whisper. You don’t have to shout to be heard. Crank up the hope and you got a better relationship, a better city, a better country, and a better earth.
It is healthy to respect others and find some quality in them that you appreciate—this is a very healthy viewpoint for humanity. You can readily respect your enemies but it makes sense to not underestimate them.
