We live in an age where most people in western society have more than enough. If you really stop to think about it, all we require to live is air, water, food, and shelter – everything else is unessential. Now, many people would argue that the standard of living in Canada dictates what is enough…
When I was a young warthog, I found that my thoughts were morbid and my labour was making me miserable. So I took a quick peek at John Ruskin and developed a problem free-philosophy – explorers always win. I needed to move away from my domestic environment, and even the primary school system to properly…
Ah yes, physical exercise. You know that process wherein you harm yourself through activity to strengthen or maintain your fitness level? When we get right down to it, fitness means being able to perform physical activity. But that’s not all of it. Now I know you know that I know that you want to know what else it also means,…
Exploration is important, it allows you to learn things about yourself, to make friends, find lovers, to live life in a more productive and harmonious state. And in the most obvious of ways, to experience that which you did not even know about – gaining in wisdom and knowledge. Cameras, laptops, smart tech, mobile…

Films have addressed death since their inception in the early 1900s, but it wasn’t until the 1980s that more honest portrayals of death started to come to…
I’ve disappointed myself once again, dear readers. There should have been a new Cross Talk this weekend. But due to some scheduling conflicts, I wasn’t able to set up the new weekly format as I would’ve liked AND drum up the productivity needed to edit together a new episode in time for a September 18th release – it…
Wednesday is typically a day for wisdom here on timotheories, as you know, dear readers. It’s the day I share ideas from famous artists, motivational pieces of art, give suggestions on things you can do to make your life more fulfilling, and sometimes I dole out my own theories of global wisdom. For example, on…
