Some people have personality disorders, some people have addictions, and some are just fools. Also, our own selves make us difficult to love these people.

Although Christmas celebrations start way before that for some Christians who believe in Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches.

it almost seems like the author is allowing me to step inside the average day and situation that African American citizens had to go through. It’s kind of heartbreaking knowing that an entire race of people feel as though their lives depend on a boxing match. The desperation was all too vivid and the silent cries of this small group of people were all but ignored.
