"Ideal consumption maximize utility? Why not sacrificial contribution maximize utility?" The demographer able to identify the 7billionth person is goin to be born in a village in India, i'm truly impressed on how precise he can be.

Therefore, it's really time for  me to rest literally ><

"Marriage is not fireproof, yet never leave your partner when marriage wrestle with fire." A strong knock on my head when I came across with a conversation between Caleb and his dad on his frustration with his wife, in movie Fire Proof.

She does not deserve this, Dad. l am not doing it anymore.   How am l supposed to show love to somebody over and over and over... who constantly rejects me?   Caleb, the answer is, You can't love her...   because you can't give her what you don't have. You can’t truly love till you understood what love really was. Son, God loves you even...
