Some people who live alone may by now have gone months without touching or hugging another person. While avoiding close contact with others is one of the key measures to prevent virus spread, the irony is we probably need a hug more in 2020 than ever before.

How Does One Attain True Wisdom?

There is a difference between wisdom and knowledge. One could say that wisdom is knowledge that has been brought into one's heart and experienced as true.

When a woman and man join, the coming together of bodies is the least of the meetings taking place.

It’s weird, we expect children to be respectful, yet we continually order them around. We make demands of them, then we are surprised when they are demanding.
