Aging is just a sad fact of life, unless of course you’re Paul Rudd, who seems to be aging backwards if anything (He’s 53!). For the rest of us mere mortals, we have to deal with the effects of getting older. The aching bones, exhaustion, and everything else that comes with it. Most of us deal with it by not thinking about it at all, and that’s what Hemsworth was doing until he was rudely reminded by People magazine that he’ll…

Additionally, if honest people are silent, illegality becomes more perverse. Hence, we must all give truth a voice. One of the oldest laws that we have as humans is: “Thou shall not steal!” To be clear, even if one is not robbing a bank, there is a lot of dishonest finesse. Why is the wrongful taking of a person’s earnings stealing even if not at gunpoint theft? First, what is stealing? Merriam-Webster…
