Spooky Language

Words have power, they evoke emotions and convey ideas, one of which is fear, but it doesn't need to be. I decided to write this article as an antidote to fear, because people are afraid of things they ought not to be - one of which is me. I've been told that I scare people.…

The Narcissism of Altruism
