What was, isn’t. What will be isn’t yet. All we have is now and that is where your mind should be. To avoid unpleasant memories, concentrate on another memory, or concentrate on the present, where you are, and the things going on around you. A delete function is unavailable, and so, unpleasant memories must be…

Religion has wanted to gain power in the United States since the country was founded. Now after over two centuries they have come to a point where they believe they can seize power. They have a President who is willing to risk the country in order to establish a dictatorship by using religion as a…
