About Kindness, Altruism and Modern Altruism-the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.Lungs breathe air, produce 99% of required oxygen and supply it to other organs. They keep some oxygen to sustain their life too. Yet, they are accused of egoism and self-interest by Mind. "Lungs must live for others-not themselves," Mind demands. "Breathing is selfish and anti-social-1% owns all oxygen, while some organs do not get their fair share. Stop breathing or we'll cut your oxygen supply!" "What's wrong with this picture, folks?""Nonsense! Human mind would never demand such unnatural thing unless it is…out of mind! Human mind is inherently GOOD because KINDNESS and SELFLESSNESS live there." "Why not? One sane academic mind has already done that. You have to live and sacrifice everything for others, not yourself, he demanded. Otherwise, you are egoist, and this heresy has to be beaten the hell out of you. A prominent French philosopher Auguste Comte invented this "breathtaking" idea in the 19th century. He named it ALTRUISM. You heard this word, didn't you?""Yes, but we did not know who the author was and what he really meant. We are surprised that altruism appeared to be not what we heard about it. It sounds so harsh and unforgiving.""I don't blame you. You probably heard that altruism was voluntary giving and helping; kindness, selflessness and concern for others. And, of course, you never heard about the original Comte's altruism. Proponents of altruism shunned and abandoned it. They don't discuss it anymore. "Why?" "Because the legacy of COMTE'S ALTRUIM is BAD. It was embraced by ideologues-collectivists (Marx, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, among others) and integrated into their ideologies (Marxism, fascism, Nazism, socialism and communism). It became a dominant theory in the collectivist societies in the 20th century. But History convicted comrade Altruism. The villain ruined those societies and left its dark legacy-a global cemetery with millions of unmarked graves.That's why Comte's altruism was replaced with a new concept-MODERN ALTRUISM. You are encouraged to embrace it every day by our educational system, academia, entertainment industry, media and even the government." "Another altruism?""Proponents of altruism deny that. They claim that the modern altruism is about reaching out to others; that it is selflessness and kindness, giving and caring; helping and concern for others-all in one. But the noble mask hides the UGLY nature of the modern altruism-it is an identity thief, conniving pretender and a fraud using deceit, misinformation and confusion as a cover! Have doubts? Then why has modern altruism stolen the original name altruism? Why does it pretend to be selflessness and kindness, the noble human traits serving humanity so well for ages? Why does it cover for Comte's altruism, the convicted villain, and try to bring it back by fraud using the Trojan-horse scheme of Grand Deceit?This book is about Kindness, Comte's Altruism and Modern Altruism-the Good, the Bad and the Ugly; about selflessness and egoism; and about reaching out to others. You will never look at altruism the same way again!

An exciting journey through history, socio-economic discourse, and philosophical discussion. This book will guide you, using a holistic approach to finding true happiness. It has the potential to change lives, not by giving advice as to how you should lead your life but by exposing you to concepts, philosophies and a way of thinking (for yourself) that may not have been so obvious before.Providing an abundance of stimulation and enlightenment on several key topics, it breaks happiness down into three parts (Money, Love, and Health). The etymology of the word "happiness" means "living well". What flows from this is that if you "live well" you will find happiness and the reason most people believe they will be happy if they are wealthy, in love and in good health is that those three things i.e. money, love, and health promote well-being. This trifecta has the power to make us happy when things are going smoothly, but also the ability to make us really miserable when they are not. The Quest for Happiness is something that every single one of us aspires to.Our Quest for happiness begins by following historical and present-day examples of figures of accomplishment, those who have succeeded in their own Quests. The whole idea is to encourage the reader to have the mindset of an explorer; because explorers are a special type of human being. They have physical endurance - they have mental toughness - They have plenty of determination and a deep feeling of purpose and most of all they have faith in their pursuit. The author took this concept of exploration a bit further. Geographical explorations have limits whilst exploration of ourselves as a human being is infinite. The author is inviting her readers to turn inwards; because when you turn inwards this is where you find your own treasure.The book is shaped like a journey, and the author is taking her readers on an Epic Journey serving as their tour guide. This book will entice, surprise and inspire. The words have depth, the journey is meaningful and the message uplifting and thought-provoking. Are you ready for your Quest?

And lose.Trust me when I confess: I gambled on her snake eyes. And now wish to warn others, as I possess nothing left to do but my time. Nothing. You may think yourself intimate, or think you know her name. Allow me: she surely knows yours. It's written in her book, and one day you'll hear it in her mouth. And you'll know that your time has come. I'll still be here, waiting. Forever.

An agency of the Federal government raids a beach house in Puget Sound on the pretext of a firearms violation. An unforeseen cataclysm results in the loss or unaccountable absence of a number of the government's operators. This, in turn, primes the Attorney general with appropriate zeal and intent to push through the mechanism repealing the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.In due course, two thirds of the states call for Congress to repeal the Second Amendment. The Senate Majority Leader and the Speaker of the House make a joint announcement to the Washington Press Corps that the recommendation to convoke a Constitutional Convention has been sent to the President.A select few are privy to the fact that the latest push to outlaw the Second Amendment would not be about gun control but something far more sinister.
