When hypocrisy and bigotry finds new highs — I recently wrote a piece very humbly suggesting the need for a better word for people who choose not to have children than the current term “childfree.” My intention was not to by any means question the childfree and their choices but to fully respect them, but to start a…

It’s the wrong adjective for the right movement — There’s a bit of a barrage of articles on my social media feed about the childfree movement. How it is now time for people to make a choice of putting their own life and happiness ahead of the societal obligation of having kids. This is especially true for women since…

I can’t be the only one that feels this way — Over the past few months, I’ve had to do more hotel stays than I’d have liked. If these were all fun vacations, I wouldn’t be complaining but unfortunately, more of these have been compulsory quarantines vs. actual vacations. On the flip side though, it has made me somewhat of an…

The fine line between necessity and violation — I just got back from a trip to Singapore — the second time I went there after my last trip before this which was in 2016.

There have always been opinions, as long as humans have been around. If you had a viewpoint a…

An honest confession and appeal from an ashamed father — The other day my wife wasn’t feeling too great so she decided to work from home, instead of going in to work. I knew she wasn’t having the greatest start to her day. So I decided to go in to work a bit later after handling a few of the…

History has given us enough and more warning signs — If there was one individual that caused the world the most destruction, Adolf Hitler would likely be a front-runner for the notorious distinction. His ideology was what we know as Nazism — a short name for National Socialism. It was one of the most discriminating ideologies which encouraged the “right”…

Because we must protest such behavior for a shot at fair play — My dear friend Terry L. Cooper recently wrote about a guy who has been blatantly stealing content and paraphrasing it as his own — and claiming that it went through “plagiarism detectors” as clean. The guy’s called Anshul Kumar and his profile is here: https://mynextgendigital.medium.com/ I wanted to tag him…
