		<description><![CDATA[Charities do good deeds on either a small scale or a large scale. Each charity also has one or more causes that they advance. Though I respect the work done by charities and believe that they should also be supported, I have always been partial to charities that address the raw and basic human needs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometime between 540 BC and 480 BC, Heraclitus stated that, “Nothing endures but change”. In present day, change is still living up to its name on a micro and macro scale. King Whitney Jr., said, “Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Historically, the issue of religion has fluctuated from being a hot-button topic to only getting cursory acknowledgment from followers and critics alike. I believe that in a number of cases (definitely not all) when issues arise, the issue is not with the religion per se, but with the recalcitrant practitioners and authority figures within it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is this word such an issue? How can it be a fad, and yet be a serious matter? How can it be ingrained in the fibers of societal controversy and not be a serious issue? Isn’t it interesting that everyone from all sides of the coin claim to be right and every other person is wrong, but then again each side is arguably right, and we still speak about the same word? I think all I’m seeing and hearing are excuses and propaganda riding in air waves...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tolerance is the ability to respect the differences between a person (or group) and others. These differences may be belief systems, ideologies, religion, social practices, race, or gender. Promoting tolerance is about understanding and co-existing with these differences without compromising positive values, or forcing them down the throat of others. Promoting tolerance is about diplomacy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a world where elections brew every now and then; where some of them are imminent and ominous, others not; in an instance where the power struggle kicks up a notch and everyone appears divided with people speculating on who and what; when all try to navigate and/or balance between a wave of change and the stiff breeze of the same old status quo; in the event that the people get stirred and they suddenly realize (and believe) again that they have another opportunity to steer their country in a better direction, any day is as good as any to ponder on who a prized leader is...]]></description>
