I rewatched the Bikram documentary on Netflix and I recommend it especially if you are still wrapped up in the mindset of a devotee. The horror of these teachers coming to our country with its vast differences from their own countries has wrecked havoc on our people. None of the girls raped by Birkam wanted… Read more

Righteousness is the quality of being right or justifiable, and so we enter the world of Karen and Stan and all the other religion/cults that stand on their righteousness. Who gets to decide?

One of the hardest things to admit is the gigantic amount of energy that is expended holding onto expectations. It’s a difficult day of adulting when you learn that your expectations for life may have been a dream and one found only in your head.
