The Friendly Face Mask
I don’t know about everyone else, but I have many masks that I apply throughout the day. I am not being deceitful to others, only to myself. This is what I have a problem with.

The Strength Of Gentleness
“I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.” Leo Rosen “As the aperture of your heart opens to love you will receive
Simplicity
I was listening to the news, and began laughing at the seriousness of one person’s perception, of the correct thing to do.

The stronger and louder the friends, the more status they gain. Boys watch television and sports, and read books and magazines. All of the media and their own families and peers, emphasize the image of a male as tough, feisty, strong, mean, courageous, powerful, and controlling as a leader.

Job Division at Home
“The deepest fear we have, ‘the fear beneath all fears,’ is the fear of not measuring up, the fear of judgment. It’s this fear that creates the stress and depression of everyday life.” Tullian
Cancel The Worry

Bullying Is Real; Defeat It
Bullying has been around for a long time, and has increased its area of ruin. Recently it has been placed in the spotlight. We become aware of it when a person hurts another. We miss it in ourselves. It possibly is promoted through our daily interactions.
