Scarred Reflection

I would assume this wasn't the original intent, but it seems like social media is comprised of roughly 20-25% pornography. Now it would be easy to pin this stat on the 20-something year old misguided men and women of urban upbringing.  Or maybe peg the blame on the loose-moral reality television stars.   But the fact of the matter is that many 30 year old (and up) women are lettin' 'em hang and poke out for the camera.  These [supposedly] mature ladies have taken a page from there teenage...uh...mentees and have turned their somewhat clean bathrooms into a photo set; quickly releasing distasteful and vulgar images for hundreds to see.  And in the true spirit of porn, where no amount of money can outweigh the emotion rush of voyeurism  the independent woman does this for free.

Feeding the Monster

When I first learned about some of the ways various forms of cancer can advance throughout the body, I was a little leery.   I always envisioned cancer as this mysterious, unpreventable disease; not thinking that the modern Westernized diet is cancers' breeding ground.  I recall hearing about a woman, who when diagnosed with a cancer, completely revolutionized her diet to nothing but vegetables, fruits, certain nuts, and grains.  After only months of trying the new diet and with minimal treatment the cancer went into complete remission. One day, the woman decided she was going to fry some chicken; a nostalgic treat to herself after reaching a healthier lifestyle and defeating an often-terminal illness.  Within weeks the cancer returned and the woman died.  She essentially encouraged the dangerous cancerous cells that were dormant in her body to be revived...and it killed her.
