“Am I a good or bad person?” Oddly enough, if you ask a question like this to yourself you’re likely a good person... emphasis on “likely”; just because you ask this question doesn’t mean you are guaranteed to be a good person. Bad people have asked this question too; it’s just unlikely unless … [Read more...]
Is Someone You Know Passive Aggressive?
Passive aggressive behaviour seems to be on the up rise, especially among young people. This sucks. What’s scary is this is the most damaging anger style. Even worse, most people don’t really know how to define passive aggressive behaviour; they know the term and can sometimes recognize it when … [Read more...]

Why We Can’t Eliminate Racism
Some people hate racism; this makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is that not everyone hates racism. What makes even less sense is when people attack racists because they’re now doing exactly what they hate about what racists are doing. Attacking only leads to more attacking.
