Many people reason that there is no water to keep everything green. I understand this completely, but a water shortage is not the cause for cages not being kept clean. People are. A water shortage is not the cause of garbage scattered across the place. People are. Drought does not cause the animals to live in such conditions. People are.

I can also guarantee that somewhere along the … Continue reading Being the better person.

This turned out to be more complicated than I thought. I decided to … Continue reading Finding your inner peace.
