Dialogue

The sign of the cross; part 3
The Bible warns us about exactly this problem. Your instinct goes straight to the bronze serpent - and that is the perfect example. God Himself commanded the serpent. It was legitimate. It was holy. It healed people. But later generations turned it into an object of power. They burned incense to it. They treated it as sacred in itself. And what did the righteous king do? He smashed it. He called it "a piece of bronze."

A Whole Lot of BS: Part 2
Over the years, we've seen and heard of people suing companies, either for their own clumsiness or something that they willingly chose to do. Such examples involve Red Bull being sued because their product didn't "give them wings", Uber sued for ruining someone's marriage, and a couple suing a video game company for their son's addiction. I feel like these people who do things like this are just looking for attention. What's next? Someone suing McDonald's for making them fat? I have zero sympathy for people who file meritless lawsuits. The topic for this story, however, is about parents suing social media companies for causing their children to develop mental health issues.

Biblical event or just a 'blind' coincidence sealing our fate? Part 1
The dramatic headline about nuking asteroid 2024 YR4 sparked a wider reflection on why powerful figures often dream of escaping to new worlds instead of repairing the one we already have, even as Earth remains the only place shaped for human life.

Beyond the Blue Light: A Reflection on Tech Addiction and the Lost Art of Being Alone
My parents gave me my first cell phone when I was twelve years old. It wasn't a fancy iPhone or anything; not even close. Just a simple black flip phone for when I needed to call or text them after school. Despite the fact that it lacked all the bells and whistles, I loved that phone. It made me feel like a grown-up—responsible, trusted, and mature.

Diaries to Nietzsche. Top Story - January 2026.
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Speaking to Time Instead of the Room
Much of modern communication is oriented toward immediacy. Writing is framed as something meant to be consumed quickly, reacted to instantly, and replaced just as fast by whatever comes next. Under this model, the value of a piece is measured almost entirely by its initial reception. If it does not land immediately, it is treated as a failure. This assumption narrows the purpose of writing and misunderstands how meaning actually travels through time.

Practice vs Performance
One of the quiet pressures shaping modern communication is the assumption that anything written should be immediately shareable. Drafts blur into declarations, and exploration is mistaken for conclusion. Under this pressure, writing becomes performative by default. The moment words are placed on a page, they are treated as finished statements rather than steps in a process. This expectation distorts both how writing is produced and how it is received, collapsing practice into performance and leaving little room for genuine development.

Universal Time?
Time is fractured, subjective, or unreal—no shared clock, no common ground, only perspective. But that conclusion goes too far. Relativity does not erase time. It reveals its structure.
