This and that – we seek
‘We seek what we don’t have; we seek what we have lost. We seek the unknown; we seek our self. We seek love; we seek attention. We seek power; we seek the authority. We seek knowledge; we seek the truth. Not a moment passes when we don’t seek. We seek […]

‘I may get a 100 or more ‘thumbs up’ for posting a picture of mine, showing me with dark brown professionally dyed hair; a victorious / confident broad smile on my face; and wearing a flashy designer suite. Appearances, most of time, are deceptive but most people fall for them. […]
