Thursday’s Thoughts

  I think I’m going to continue sharing a thought or saying each day as it reflects on things I have seen or felt during my life. Yesterday we were talking about bullying and the effect others can have on you and your journey in this world. While not exactly the same the sayings I’ve …

Oscar Wilde and Freedom of Expression

On this day in 1895, Oscar Wilde was arrested after losing a libel case against the Marquess of Queensberry.

So Good News Bad News Situation
