  07-01-2022 23:10
  
  New Year's Resolutions are invigorating for some and dread-inducing for others. Self-improvement and focusing on personal - rather than corporate or prescribed goals is foreign and difficult to conceptualise for those whose essence and personal goals have been obscured by external obligations. The idea and timing of New Year's resolutions may feel arbitrary and customary. But the new year offers a vital opportunity for us to become empowered to make constructive change in our life, and begi

  Is charity love? Some people may argue that charitable acts are done for pity or to gain something in return. At the very least, they contend that it is giving to the underprivileged.
