Many things in our life that we know, we know because we can directly experience it. We know the general form of a chair because we have seen it or sat on it. We know the taste of chocolate milk because we have drunk it before. However, how we can know things that transcend reality?

Art is considered to be the special expression of ideas,…

During the couple of years that I have been visiting the dentist, I have gone to quite a few dental offices for different types of dental treatments. I have left many offices for various reasons such like their services being too expensive, their appointments being too short making me feel rushed, and or because of unfriendly attitudes from the staff. Four years ago, I came across Concord Dental, a small private dental office in Lovejoy, Georgia. I decided to give them a try, and I have been…

Screech! The wheels of the plane finally touched down at Logan airport in Boston after an eight hour flight. After we got off the plane, we still had an hour-and-a-half drive ahead of us. Great. But I knew that it was worth it because we were going to Cape Cod to visit my Grandparents. Cape Cod has beautiful beaches and beautiful weather. The beaches have the silkiest sand, and the bluest skies. Regular visitors and locals refer to Cape Cod as, simply, The Cape. For all of the years…
For a start, I have been a caregiver along with my wife for almost twelve years now. The journey began when my wife became pregnant back in the spring of 2003. After having a premature delivery, at 28 weeks, my two little angels were born – Identical twins, each weighing a miraculous pound and a half. According to the physician, the umbilical cord of one of the twins was wrapped twice around the neck, causing the other twin to become asphyxiated and lose oxygen to both her brain and respiratory…

Beautiful old colonial buildings near the water, endless beaches, and magnificent lighthouses are just some of the charms of Laguna, Brazil. Laguna is perhaps most famous for the symbiotic relationship between local fishermen and a pod of dolphins which frequents the waters near Tesoura Beach. As the dolphins chase fish toward the shore, fishermen throw out their nets to catch the incoming fish. The wild dolphins snap up those which escape the nets and then head back out towards deeper waters.…
After a night out my friends and I decided to treat ourselves and eat out. We debated about where to go until we finally agreed on Red Lobster. A restaurant whose slogan is “where we see food differently”. Being an establishment that prides itself on serving fresh seafood and excellent service every guest should expect this when choosing them as their dining option. However, upon entering the Erie Red Lobster, you are welcomed by a cliché atmosphere, compiled with service that lacks hospitality,…
