Peculiar things that happen at Vocal that no one explains and how to get de-motivated when you try to do something helpful
Apparently, someone wanted to give me a tip, but the option has disappeared, I notice this on other profiles as well. Dangled like marionettes.

My Grandma, the ghost guardian
I never knew my paternal grandma, she died before I could form any memory of her. I met my maternal grandma maybe three times in my life, so I missed that bond between grandmothers. Truth be told, both of my grandfathers also died before I was born. It never really impacted my upbringing then, but now I hear others sing of all the many wonderful virtues of grandparents and realize how much I had missed.

Pyramid to transcendence
Love is not static, it is an exquisite and dynamic notion which elegantly captures the complexity and simplicity of our existence, evoking the feeling, anticipation, and novelty that brings joy into our lives. We should think of love as being at the depth of all fundamental human experiences.

Prickly expressions which are thought racist and should perhaps be avoided
I read this list of expressions in the news and thought...Hmmm! Is it important to know the mainly dark reasons behind some of these words and phrases which we use every day? Granted, many people in the comment section were very disgruntled that someone took the time to research the meanings and make them available to the public. They parried that someone is just looking for more reasons to pander and ponder racism.
