Failing

Failure. Honestly, I am a little afraid of it (maybe more than a little). I hate it. But of course, I had experienced failure many times in my life. And it hurts. Failure stings. Failure can be very hard. I know that I am not alone. Many people also hate failure, because it hurts. Failure to keep a promise. Failure in education or career. Failure in love. Failure in life. However, we should see the positive things even when we fail. According to the German General von Stuelpnagel in 1944, “No defeat is final. Defeats are simply lessons to be learned...

Thought That Counts

This story is when my ex-girlfriend was not yet my girlfriend, more than a year ago. It was back when her birthday was coming near. And I decided to get her something for her birthday.

HELL

Hell is true. It is the final destination of all who are damned. There is suffering here day and night. The damned ones will burn and burn for all eternity.

Discrimination. Terrorism. Self Righteousness. Heartbreaks....
