I believe that I will make a better future, is a popular notion of political, religious, educational and business leaders. To believe is to think that something is true or real. This does not mean it is true. Beliefs become opinions, which are fixed and non-negotiable. It is difficult to exchange ideas when a sentence starts with I believe and there is no backup of fact.

So one must proceed to achieve what one needs… be it elsewhere, yet everywhere here won't fulfill the flare.Questions arise… no mental's surprised, the night is mesmerized with red disguised… Mars I'll make my manic rise! Placed the poet, artist, designer, musician on a particul...
