It helps to have a smile and laugh at the divine comedy of it.


I hope we can continue to enhance co-operation more.


However, SOME men skew slightly more towards aggressiveness. NOT ALL MEN.


Whether you're a man or a woman,

having simple daily practice of slow, calming breath can help to smooth out any unwanted spikes of ferocity.


And it helps to have a laugh at our own
