  • 0

  “The Person Sitting in Darkness” by Mark Twain is a searing political satire that exposes the hypocrisy and brutality of imperialism at the turn of the 20th century. With his signature wit and razor-sharp critique, Twain challenges the moral justifications used by Western powers—especially the United States—in their global conquests. Written in 1901, this provocative essay attacks the exploitation of weaker nations under the guise of civilization and religion, making it as relevant today as it was over a century ago. A must-read for fans of political commentary, anti-imperialist literature, and Twain’s bolder, less-publicized works.

  The Shocking Truth about Urban...

  Urban living has long been viewed as the pinnacle of opportunity and progress. Cities are often painted as vibrant hubs of culture, innovation, and success—a place where dreams come true and ambition finds its footing. The allure of bright lights, bustling streets, and endless possibilities pulls millions into these sprawling metropolises every year. For many, the promise of better jobs, richer experiences, and greater connections is enough to leave behind quieter, simpler lives elsewhere.   
    
  Yet, beneath the glittering facade lies a reality few are prepared for. Urban living often comes with hidden costs, both financial and emotional, that can turn this dream into a relentless grind. The very elements that make cities attractive—crowds, energy, and activity—can also become sources of stress, isolation, and disconnection. The fast pace of city life may thrill at first, but it often demands sacrifices that go unnoticed until they take their toll.  
    
  Financial strain is one of the first realities to hit those who flock to urban centers. The cost of housing, food, transportation, and entertainment skyrockets in the city, leaving little room for savings or long-term planning. Even those earning higher-than-average wages may find themselves living paycheck to paycheck, barely keeping up with the rising costs of urban living. This creates a paradox: while cities offer opportunities for upward mobility, they often make it harder to get ahead.

  Modesty - The Humble Approach -...

  Modesty is often misunderstood in today's world, where self-expression and visibility are highly valued. It is not about suppression or hiding oneself but rather a way of living that reflects humility, self-respect, and grace. True modesty is not limited to clothing choices but extends to attitudes, behaviors, and the way individuals present themselves to the world. It is about carrying oneself with dignity and avoiding excess, whether in appearance, speech, or lifestyle. 
  Historically, modesty has been deeply rooted in various cultures and traditions, often shaped by religious and philosophical beliefs. Many ancient societies regarded it as a virtue, associating it with wisdom, purity, and moral integrity. From Eastern philosophies emphasizing balance and restraint to Western traditions valuing humility and grace, modesty has been a guiding principle across civilizations. Though its expression has evolved over time, its essence remains unchanged—a conscious effort to practice simplicity and mindfulness in one's actions. 
  In modern society, modesty can be challenging to uphold, as social norms constantly shift and external influences promote self-promotion and material success. The pressure to stand out and gain validation can lead individuals to adopt behaviors that prioritize recognition over authenticity. However, true confidence does not stem from external validation but from an inner sense of self-worth. A modest person does not seek attention or approval but remains secure in their values and choices. This quiet strength allows for deeper connections with others and a greater focus on personal growth rather than superficial appearances.
