"Dear World..."
George Sanders, the cad's cad. I really tried to work in his "failed sausage investment" into this. It's not a euphemism though, so I gave up. Image source wikipedia in Public Domain as it is so old.

Kool-Aid
A poem in four short stanzas -- not about the sugary drink, but about something unnamed. This is a half-baked reflection on an experience I've been struggling with as of late. It's very much a work in progress, so feedback is more than welcome. I'm looking forwards to seeing how ABCtales works as a platform. EDIT: Yeah, I'm never going to edit this again. It's fine the way it is -- capturing a moment of my past.

The Start Of Another Day: Epilogue:Happiness
Happiness, The essence of life, or is it? Whether you deem it important or insignificant, you have probably wondered and questioned yourself about this feeling before, what is happiness? is it just an unstable, ephemeral emotion that is meaningless in the grand scheme of things? How do I reach it? Do I have to be happy? More importantly, is it the same for everyone? If so, then who defines happiness? The answer to these questions depends on your perspective really, or that is what I believe at least, but it wouldn't hurt to hear another person's views on happiness now would it?

The Start Of Another Day: Chapter VI-Part3-
This is a collection of interesting thoughts and opinions that might change your perspective on life. It is a uniquely written philosophy book that also tackles certain aspects of personal development through the changes that a young man experienced throughout one year. One of the more interesting topics of this book involve good and bad(free will), handling emotions, relationships with people, the true meaning of understanding and most importantly, your well-being. As an Algerian author influenced by western culture, I also incorporated some ideas that are quite common in my country giving you a chance to view certain aspects of the North African mentality and life style. This is my first take at writing a fully-fledged book so I would love to hear your views and criticism of it.
