Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.
The most influential psychologist of the 20th century wrote private letters to his children.
They weren’t about therapy.
They were about how to survive being human without losing your soul.
Here are 9 principles Carl Jung QUIETLY taught his children—that most people never hear about: 🧵
In the 1960s more than 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government, everything spent on Water, Oil, Gas, Coal, Electricity, Social Housing, Telecoms, Steel, Ships...
Now it's less than 5%, the rest all goes to billionaires Tax Havens
That's why there is no money
Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords.
Like if she needs to go.
RT if she has to go.
He knocked on the door expecting a signature. Instead, a terrified 8-year-old boy ran straight into his arms...
James has driven the same route for six years. He knows the houses, the dogs, and usually, the families.
But the house on Highland Avenue always gave him a bad feeling. Usually, the blinds were drawn, and it was too quiet.
Today, he walked up the path with a box, scanning the label.
Before he could knock, the door flew open.
It wasn't a parent greeting him. It was 8-year-old Ethan.
He was wearing Spider-Man pajamas, barefoot on the cold concrete, and his eyes were wide with terror.
From deep inside the house, James heard the unmistakable sound of shattering glass and a man’s slurred, angry screaming.
Ethan didn't wait for the package.
He bolted through the screen door, running straight into James’s legs, burying his face in the driver's uniform.
"He's hurting mom!" he sobbed, his little body trembling violently. "Please!"
James didn't check his schedule. He didn't drop the box.
He dropped everything and scooped the boy up, rushing him away from the porch and toward the safety of his truck.
A neighbor, who had been watching the disturbance from her yard, was already on the phone with 911.
James sat on the back bumper of the truck, positioning himself as a human shield between the boy and the house.
Ethan was hyperventilating, terrified his father would come out.
James just wrapped his arms around the shaking boy, ignoring the cold.
"I've got you, buddy," he kept whispering, rubbing the boy's back. "You're safe. I'm not going anywhere. You're safe."
They sat there for ten agonizing minutes until the sirens wailed down the street.
Officers stormed the house, taking the father into custody and ensuring Ethan’s mother was safe.
James stayed right there on the bumper until the very end.
To the company, he was just a driver behind schedule.
But to the boy in the Spider-Man pajamas, he was the only hero who mattered.
I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
RT if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.
Are men okay? I carefully and rationally explained that nature designated males as the secondary and largely expendable sex, and men keep getting upset. Like, don’t take it so personally, I didn’t invent nature.
