It’s saddening that one of the reasons we don’t spend more time with our beloved is because we are in denial; we refuse to accept the fact that we will one day lose them. We hate that thought so much that it doesn’t even cross our minds.
So when we are under the illusion that we’re timeless, and…
I was in history class today and we were talking...
Teacher: So North Africa and the Middle East are going through some difficult times right now. Who knows what.
Some idiot hobo child: ISRAEL IS TAKING OVER!!!! WOOOHHOOOO!!!
Teacher: Hahaha! Yes!!! But what else!?
At this point I had no respect for her so I didn't raise my hand-
Me: Excuse me? Why are you rejoicing?
Teacher: Dear, Israel is a very powerful state. And, when America needs them, they will be there?
Me: They'll be there? They aren't here right now. America is going through the worst economic crisis it has seen since the Great Depression. Where's Israel? Oh wait, they're in Palestine, slaughtering innocent people. They aren't helping anyone. And they never will. The Israeli government will never be there to help you, me, America, your family or anyone else. And next time you start celebrating Israel, just remember that YOU are celebrating the MASSACRES of people who didn't even do a single thing wrong. Newborn babies, dead. Elderly people walking to the store, dead. Women working in the fields, dead. While YOU are sitting there celebrating their deaths while I, their families, and millions of other sane people mourn for them.
Teacher: *silent*
And the class remained silent, just staring at me for 10 minutes. And, I was called into the principals office...

10 ways to avoid marrying the wrong person
1) Do Not Marry Potential: Oftentimes men consider marrying a woman hoping she never changes while a woman considers marrying a man she hopes she can change. This is the wrong approach on both accounts. Don’t assume that you can change a person after you’re married to them or that they will reach their potential. There is no guarantee, after all, that those changes will be for the better. In...

mohandasgandhi:
It’s also not a “small” problem. Muslims in the West have been experiencing a particularly unfounded hatred over the last decade or so. I’m a bit saddened to see people arguing that the ever growing problem of Islamophobia and prejudice towards those of Middle Eastern descent…
