If you are super wealthy and are living in a mansion, material wealth is meaningless if your bodyContinue reading “Piece of gold vs peace of mind.”

The last two seasons of, The White Lotus were incredible and I couldn’t wait for the next episode each week. But this season? I find I am forcing myself to watch. There’s not a single redeeming likable character, just a collection of selfish, unappealing people. And no comic relief like the last two seasons. ThisContinue reading “The White Lotus Season three.”
