The dreaded karma conversation
As souls, Davis and Crowe have been alive forever, and have different karmic histories, which naturally results in different scripts with different outcomes.
Troy Davis left something for you (in two parts)
With every highly publicized act of inhumanity such as this, it's beginning to dawn on us that our primordial behaviors are just as beastly now as they were then.

Does Good Friday highlight a double standard?
If a blood-thirsty posse approached the home of a guilty man, and his father pushed his innocent brother onto the porch, we'd be horrified. No doubt, many would declare that this father was pure evil. Why can't we see the parallel?
Is that your Love crammed into that box?
"Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something—and it is only... Continue Reading →
