“At times, when stress is so high and you are
pushed to your limits, the force and intensity of

“This is a great powerful statement from some spiritually achieved ones: ‘My life depends on me, not on Heaven.’
Excessively religious people may think those people had no God, but I don’t see it that way. I think that these were spiritually self-responsible people who did not rely on…[Read more]

[A] List of animal species with 46 chromosomes

Humans have 46 chromosomes. But what about other animal species ?

There are surprisingly few comparative lists of chromosome numbers to be found on the internet. I admit : it does not make a lot of sense. What would be the scientific value…[Read more]

I do not believe, basically, that one can separate philosophy from practice when it comes to sex. Although there is so much that is of interest, here, in this following article, that it may warrant a separate thread, it very much applies to threads made lately.

They ask me why I don’t
behave myself.

Consider a sentence named ‘FLiar’, which says of itself (i.e., says of FLiar) that it is false.
