"Fat people are weak". It's easy to talk a good talk, point out, patronize and criticize other people's behaviours, responses to stimulus and non-achievements or achievements when one hasn't gone through the process (or doesn't know better). I would put the example of those who say that overweight people are weak. While this is a… Continue reading Balancing the Elements
The feeling of pain
One gets used to it. Paralyzing at first, it's the varnish that covers us. All varnishes strengthen and protect the material they're applied to.
