Price is part of every transaction. At times price becomes immaterial because our needs are non-monetary. It has more to do with us, self-control. Epictetus in Enchiridion talks about it.

lost
There are times in our life when we are at the crossroads. Feeling clueless about everything: job, relationship, finances. clueless about our choices. The definition of good or bad makes no sense. Even with everything around us miserable. We are lost. It is good that one gets lost, it helps in knowing self better. Asking …
Social Media
Social Media is a great place for sharing knowledge. It connects us to great achievers and successful folks. Social media is also a place for spreading FOMO. It is easy to get caught up in a fight, become vulnerable. I have been a superuser of Twitter for over a decade. But over the past few …

Why do we have this division? Why did the almighty (if he/she, exists) not gave everyone equal opportunity? Why did he create this division? What was going on his/her mind? They created a class, then religion and then money. On top that they created a society where everyone had to be someone, where everyone had …
