Welcome to another dose of Uncommon Sense! This issue is packed with value that will help you lead a loftier life. Here is what you can expect:

We all seem to gravitate towards our Comfort Zones. We seem gun-shy of entering the unknown of realms that bring us discomfort or that we find challenging. The Self-Development column will address the liability of our comfort zones and how to break out of those ruts so that growth becomes a way of life. Check it out and see if it resonates with you.

Many people on the left side of the aisle still look back at an unfortunate event that took place 4 years ago on January 6th. They use it as a cudgel to try to bludgeon their opponents. However, I believe that what happened at the Capital on January 6th doesn’t quite pass the smell test as far as understanding what really happened. There are too many unanswered questions that need to be addressed, and what we do know appears rather suspicious. . . The Elephant in the Room column will start to unravel the issues.

The From Ara’s Journal column contemplates the liabilities of being fascinated by various things, including technology. . .

And The World of Words column does it again: You’ll add a wonderful word to your vocabulary and you will sound just a bit more sophisticated than you would if you did not know (or use) this word as part of your normal lexicon.

OK, let’s get started.
