Uncommon sense – So above, so below

The function of every human cell absolutely depends on the mental state of its...
Uncommon sense – Go through it
As humans, we seem to discriminate when it comes to pain or difficulty. There are some difficulties that we seemingly and easily accept and willingly endure because the outcome is desirable. We can endure long periods and sleepless nights of studying to get a qualification. This, sometimes we are willing to do even in harsh...
Uncommon sense – Give triple-A, a chance
It is a brand-new year, and everyone has great hope that a new year will come with new and better things. A new year represents renewal and turning a new page as well as purging debris from the bad vibes of the previous year. The natural feeling is that a new year means new resolutions,...
