I speak from a position of strength and actual experiences as well. I have a demonstrated […]

In this imbalanced world, we have unequal shares of justice, joy, and jeopardy without much convincing rationality. Many concede due to their belief in Divine Distribution. Abusive powers bow out to many others. This mirrors either their helplessness or a diplomatic knack. Some slip-ups that could support professional flops in the industry called social development […]
