You know when a girl accuses a guy of looking at other women? Well, just watching doesn't hurt, does it? Well, it might cost him a slap or a bond, but it certainly doesn't hurt his vision.

Because despite the fact that two-thirds of the Earth is covered by water, most of it is too salty to drink. Thus, almost 900 million people do not have access to safe drinking water, and even more can only dream of drinking tap water. Slovenians, in fact the majority of Europeans, are one of the few in the world with the privilege of not having to buy bottled water for a sip of water. Only a handful of countries can boast of this. Are you interested in which ones?

Children can fall asleep anywhere and anytime. Except when necessary. This is in kindergarten after lunch and at home in the evening, parents and educators would remark. In an ideal world, the evening routine of parents of young children is as follows.

But even children sometimes run out of energy, and not just at the end of the day. They don't mind if they eat a piece of bread, a shell or Lego blocks.
Many people are burdened with presenting themselves in the best possible light, wanting to please the masses, and thus sacrifice their true selves. They don't realize that their particularities are what make them unique. Love is no different either; in the effort to find someone as soon as possible, we often turn a blind eye and are completely blind to their flaws, but at the same time, their uniqueness.
