Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.

Are our choices really ours?
In today's world, the truth is defined by google. Suppose you want to know which movie is trending or which is the best place to go on vacation. You will simply take out your phone and ask google about it. In today's world, we trust technology even more than ourselves. From which clothes to wear to which car you should buy, you take the help of technology. Our choices don't come from the blue they are the result of biochemical processes which happen in the brain these choices are highly volatile and are shaped by our surroundings like our society, friends, schooling. A person living in a tribal area will be more concerned about how to make it through the day rather than the looming danger of global warming so the decisions he will take will be centred around it, he will vote for a political party that will promise him employment rather than a political party that will reduce carbon emission.

The Hidden Tragedy of Being the Greatest
Who doesn’t want to be the greatest? Making it to the top is the life dream for nearly all of us. What we often do not consider is that being the greatest is not only the best thing in life, it can also be nearly the worst and many people aren’t prepared for this hidden surprise at all. When they do reach the top they realise it wasn’t what they thought it would be.

Coronavirus: A real monster or hoax
With the onset of 21st century, the world fell prey to the clutches of many horrible diseases, but when it comes to pervasiveness and lethality, Covid19 tops the chart. With its prevalence on almost all the habitable continents, it has affected all sectors of human life. The most under pressure sector appears to be the medical field. Health professionals are more prone to the contagion as they directly deal with the patients who are suffering from Covid19 and serve as carriers. They also have to witness the horrendous scenes of people dying of this monster. It has, to the larger extent, changed the entire lifestyle of the people all over the world.

Psychological Effects of War Trauma
Shocking or scary events lead to psychological trauma. Trauma leads to the apparition of post-traumatic stress disorder. This disorder affects the lives of people for years or even decades after the end of the traumatic event. Soldiers often report going through psychological trauma, because of the violent nature of war itself. Unfortunately, civilians become victims of wars, too, and because, as compared to soldiers, they are defenseless (since they do not carry weapons) civilians are affected even more severely by war trauma. Seeing people get injured or killed leads to trauma, because of some characteristics of the human psyche. Any violent event is interpreted by the brain as a potential danger. This leads to fear and a prolonged sensation of fear remains imprinted in the memory for a long time. The result is that it manifests itself even after years, as nightmares or flashbacks.

Wasted Gesture
By now most, if not all of us, have heard the story or seen the clip of the Ukrainian woman in her later years, who gave the Russian Soldier a handful of sunflower seeds to put in his pocket.

"We ain't gonna take it!"
My first position at Walmart was part-time in the cellular kiosk/electronics department. My experience doing cellular customer service over the phone in a call center made me a good fit when it came to selling cell phones in person. I had personally dealt with hundreds of cell phone "customer's" and "dealer's" in my few years manning the phone lines at companies such as T-Mobile, Verizon, Bell and Shaw. I had worked in pretty much every department there was from activations to sales, to tech support, and even something they call "retention". This is when you call to cancel your service and low and behold, all of a sudden, after a strange "warm" transfer, this incredible sale magically appears to your representative in hopes of saving you as a customer, aka "retaining you". Yep, that's right! Not a coinkie-dink at all. Planned, just like every question they ask and every strategically placed item in their storefronts. Whatever it takes to keep you buying what they are selling!

Why Do People Like Animals
All over the world, people like to keep pets, and some animal species, among those animals, seem to be real ”stars”. Cats seem to have the highest number of views on the internet and people are wondering why. Animals are beautiful, cuddly, funny when they play, and their child-like behavior makes us want to protect and love them. But what is the real psychology that makes humans show so much affection towards animals?

What If I Just Went Wild?
I'm starting to feel like some wild beast is trying to rip open my chest. I don't belong here. What if I just went wild? Returned back to my animalistic roots and extinguished all the fires of uncivilized behavior that has been burning in my chest for so long?
