A significant election is quickly approaching. A candidate will be chosen to hold the highest office in our nation.

All our little laws reveal that we are, by nature, trying to justify ourselves before others, and before God, based on what we do and who we are.

Fairy tales are but one chapter in the book we call storytelling. We may prefer reading other kinds of stories (mystery, science fiction, and so on).
