Which animal is really the King of the Jungle?

The Social Evolutionary

Who is the King of the Jungle?

Man 1: Several years ago, I was in a car accident that left me with a back injury. As a computer programmer, I am still able to do my job, but I often have to take painkillers. When the pain gets particularly bad, I sometimes have to lie down on my back for a while until it goes away because sitting up really hurts. When we were in the office, I would worry that my colleagues would see me taking pills. Since we’ve been working from home, it has been much better. I can go and see my physical therapist more often too. I don’t have to worry as much and if I need to lie down for a little while to help my back, I can. When we were in the office, I’d sometimes be in a lot of pain but didn’t feel like I could say anything.

Woman: I have suffered from depression for a long time. Most of the time I manage it, but I often feel very nervous. Working in an office was really hard as I was always scared that I might panic and my colleagues would wonder why I was acting strangely. Working at home has been so much better for me as I don’t have to talk to so many people and I can have a relaxed environment and play peaceful music. Management is talking about going back to the office soon and I can already feel a lot of anxiety about it. I’m worried that I will not be able to hide that I’m depressed and people will judge me.

Man 2: I’m quite deaf in one ear. I don’t like to mention it when I’m at work because I feel as though there is often a stigma around disabilities. I worry that people will treat me differently. The problem is, sometimes I don’t hear when people are talking to me and then they think I’m ignoring them or I’m not listening. Working at home has been great for me because all of our communication has been online or video calls and I can wear headphones like everyone else. I’m not looking forward to going back to the office and I don’t see the point as I can do my job perfectly well from home.

Living With Disabilities 

Mưa phùn bay, hoa đào nở.
Ông trồng cây táo xuống đất. Bé tưới nước cho cây. Mưa tưới nước cho cây. Mặt trời sưởi nắng cho cây.
Con Gà Trống đi qua nói to:
– Cây ơi! Cây lớn mau!
Thế là những chiếc lá non bật ra.
Những con Bươm Bướm bay qua cũng nói to:
– Cây ơi! Cây lớn mau!
Thế là cây ra đầy hoa.
Một hôm, ông, bé, Gà, Bươm Bướm cùng nói to:
– Cây ơi! Cây lớn mau!
Thế là những quả táo chín ngon lành hiện ra.
Bé giơ áo ra, những quả táo chính ngon lành rơi đầy vào lòng bé

Squid Game and Other TV Shows~

Thorne se sumergió en los archivos del caso del joven artista. Las similitudes eran inquietantes: ambos estudios habían sido meticulosamente alterados para crear atmósferas oscuras y ritualísticas. Los símbolos, aunque ligeramente diferentes, compartían una raíz común, una especie de lenguaje secreto que parecía desafiar cualquier interpretación. La única pista tangible era una referencia a un antiguo texto oculto, mencionado en los diarios personales de ambos artistas.

Intrigado, Thorne comenzó a buscar este texto. Tras meses de investigación, descubrió que se trataba de un grimorio extremadamente raro, que se decía contenía conocimientos prohibidos sobre dimensiones paralelas y entidades oscuras. Según la leyenda, aquel que lograra descifrar sus misterios tendría el poder de invocar fuerzas sobrenaturales. Thorne se dio cuenta de que tanto el escritor como el artista habían estado obsesionados con este grimorio, y que posiblemente habían realizado rituales para intentar abrir un portal hacia otro mundo.

A medida que se adentraba más en su investigación, Thorne comenzó a experimentar sucesos extraños. Tenía pesadillas recurrentes con las mismas criaturas aladas que aparecían en las pinturas del artista. Además, objetos se movían por sí solos en su oficina y escuchaba voces susurrando su nombre en la oscuridad. El detective comenzaba a creer que las fuerzas oscuras que ambos artistas habían invocado estaban comenzando a manifestarse en el mundo real.

Con el tiempo, Thorne logró dar con la ubicación del grimorio. Se encontraba en una antigua biblioteca oculta bajo una mansión abandonada. Sin embargo, al acercarse al libro, se dio cuenta de que era una trampa. Las fuerzas oscuras que había despertado estaban preparadas para defender su secreto. Thorne se enfrentó a una batalla contra lo desconocido, luchando por salvarse a sí mismo y al mundo de una amenaza que superaba cualquier cosa que hubiera imaginado.
