Author: Linda LowenIt's a "thou shalt not" rule carved in stone that every woman carries in her heart: You can't cry at work if you expect to be taken seriously and advance your career. In the game of life, the act of shedding tears is akin to drawing the 'Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200' card in Monopoly. This belief has been so thoroughly drummed into us that we won't even risk crying in the

O’Brien picked up the cage, [...]

The Second Coming, William Butler Yeats Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

Mostly, when we start thinking about Lions then a fear start entering in our mind because we believe Lions as very dangerous animals.

According to the Bible, Adam lived for hundreds of years, and in Hindu mythology lifespans of thousands of years are commonplace.

Here’s a small catalogue of examples of dehumanization, of the ways in which humans try to exclude others from humanity, to deny them equality, to ridicule them, to render them objects in their plan, instruments for their advancement or pleasure.
