Lessing declares “When we ’re in a group‚ we tend to think as that group does: we may even have joined the group to find "like-minded" people. But we also find our thinking

My Beautiful Place Have you ever felt like you were born in the wrong era? I ask this because I know I do. The place that I consider beautiful is America‚ but please bear with me for a second and let me explain.
