Self-fish

Look at yourself , what do you see?
 Lack of empathy is the root to self-centered
 human being and can be very dangerous especially
 when they relate with other people.
 Egoism is a destructive passion according to Aristotelis but
 be careful because sometimes the cat eats the fish.

Happy birthyday song

In life at the exact moment that a human
 or a creature dies,
Someone else is being born.
According to the chaos theory a flutter
of a butterfly s wing can ultimately cause
 a typhoon halfway around the world.

Me as a reflection of you

The memory of the past is a strong influence of how
people think about their  future. A wounded memory of the past
often alters the view of the future. It is a matter of changing the perspective
in order to break free from the haunting past and turn it into something
creative.
”Life can only be understood backwards ,but it must be lived forwards”.
(Soren Kierkegaard)

Fight or flight

The intensity of emotion will determine you response.
You can either stay and fight the enemy or decide that
the enemy is stronger  and leave in fear. Either way your brain
although being under the accute stress will decide the best solution
for your survival
