ENEMIES AT THE MOSHARI

­­ENEMIES AT THE MOSHARI

All was quiet; I returned to the base to find myself and my team immersed in a rather peaceful environment. This was completely unexpected given that these were troubled times.

Irrational demands we make of others

In life, humans have the annoying habit of trying to get more out of everything. That almost empty tube of toothpaste, the promo code that we've used 67 times and is about to run out today, or even people. We often make demands and requests that are insane, almost impossible to meet and at times, really annoying.
