Are you a gambler's addict?

Get up early and stay at work, then repeat it until the weekend. It doesn't sound nice, isn't it? Industrial age invented work time 8 hours, and when the alarm clock rings, this sound is worse than any bad songs you listened to during your life. So, thoughts about easy money are present in your mind, you would sell the soul to the devil just to stay in bed. That is how the average person lives, work for money.  One day I was walking in the street and two pretty girls gave me free tickets for the casino. It was a promo ticket and I went there to taste luck. I did not win, but they wake up my curiosity so next time I came with my money and won. During seven years I was winning and losing, depends on luck. I don't have debts but I heard about people with bad destiny, who get into trouble because of pathological gambling. I heard about a neighbor who lost flat because he had no money to return. I heard about a man who spent social recompense for his children, all on

The story about a fake hero and a lion

The lion is for me symbol of power, danger, and beauty. When American dentist Walter Palmer killed famous lion Cecil, I felt sadness. This 13-year-old animal was dying 40 hours, and illegal hunter, ex-sexual abuser, so-called dentist Palmer made a photo with his trophy, to brag about masculinity. It was a toast to his fragile, insecure ego and confirm that he is a man. This story made me think about some primitive men these days, who still live in the stone age, and think that real evidence of masculinity is killing, beating women and having sex with any girl who passes in their life. There is a confusion between the truth about real man and vision of macho type, who exist only in cartoons or action movies.  In high school, the male circle could be very cruel. They will ask proof of masculinity and if the boy doesn't accept this, everyone will laugh to him. The price is, damage yourself, damage girl you love if you need, but be a man.  I remember the guy

Are you afraid of Friday the 13th?

Did you late at work because you stuck in traffic today? Maybe you are fired? Look at your calendar, today is Friday 13th. If you saw a black cat who crossed your way, definitely your day is ruined.  The legend about Friday 13th is western superstition. Old belief said that Kain killed Abel on that day, and Eve persuaded Adam to bite the apple. Accord Bible, that day is considered as the death of Jesus Christ. In old Rome was a legend about witches circle, which gathers 12 witches, and the 13th member is devil by himself.  What else happened on this fatal day? In the year 1307 was the execution of knights templars, mostly in France, on 13 October. In the year 1927 was bankruptcy on the marketplace and many brokers made suicide. Guess, it was on Friday 13th. About 20 million people in SAD suffer from a special kind of phobia,      paraskevidekatriaphobia. The  Greek word "Paraskevi" means Friday, Dekatreis is thirteen and phobia i

Beware of a woman scorned (story about Ruth Ellis)

If you offer someone a heart full of love, don't expect that you will get the same. Joke of nature is that smart, beautiful women involve with bad guys, who are not able to give love back, or they will give love to someone else, even that person is not a woman of dreams. It looks like the story is over when your beloved chose your competition, but not everybody will make peace with that solution. A woman scorned will say "it ain't over until its over", because her word is the last. The last hanged woman in Great Britain was Ruth Ellis. She killed her lover David Blakely, after a dramatic love story. He was abusing her, underestimate and humiliate, so she decided to kill him. She had cooperator, Desmond Cussen, the man who was in love with her. He gave her a pistol and drove her to the place of crime. Ruth got the death penalty for the crime passionnel. Sudden strong impulse prevailed so Ruth signed her death sentence because of discarded love. When y

Is is right to give your money to beggars?

Generosity is a gift if it comes from the heart. Today you feed hungry birds, tomorrow you will buy food for cats. Another day you will give coins to beggars. Do you feel like a big humanitarian person? One of the biggest tools for manipulation is exactly generosity. Some people will act as saints, but indeed their intentions are hidden. Remember big causes in the Philippines, in the time of typhoon tragedy? Kim Kardashian made big humanitarian actions there, and then the press wrote that only 10% of the money is for a humanitarian purpose. The rest, you guess, fly away into her pocket.  How you will know that person wants to promote himself, and that it doesn't have any connection with generosity? Humanitarian actions are free from taxes. Big relief for rich people, because they will save money, and yet, promote themselves. A rich person will make a photo with a poor, ill granny, with invalids and Gypsies, but later, when nobody looks, he will turn h

Who stinks in offices?

Bad breath, unpleasant smell, stench are enemies of every person. Everyone decides about own habits, but if you work with such people, your life could be a nightmare in the cloud of smell. It is easy to warn your roommate to wash teeth or change clothes, but if you are in this situation, would you choose to be open and honest or to suffer in silence because you don't want to hurt him? This happened in one of the offices at the Ministry of defense in Croatia. Darko got a new office mate, old woman Barbara who is  55 years old. She never worked in civil service and she needs money until her retirement. First, Darko was fascinated because she was a busy bee, ready to solve every file and to clean the closet from old documents. She helped him with clients because he was really busy. After a month Darko noticed a bad smell in his office, and his colleagues smiled every time when he was with them at lunch pause.  - Why you smile? - Darko, did you wash your laundry? Or
