<p><br/></p><p>In life, many people carry invisible wounds, silent battles that the world knows nothing about. The image of a man being scolded while already struck by an arrow speaks deeply to this truth. The one shouting sees only what is on the surface, not the hidden pain that bleeds within.</p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Too often, we are quick to judge, blame, or criticize others without understanding what they are going through. We speak harsh words that become new arrows, deepening their wounds. Yet behind every quiet person, every mistake, or every tearless face, there might be a story of heartbreak, betrayal, or struggle.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">If only we paused to look beyond appearances, to ask, “Are you okay?” before reacting, the world would be gentler. Kindness costs nothing, but it heals more than we can imagine. Empathy turns anger into understanding, and compassion replaces judgment with love.</span></p><p><br/></p><p>Let us remember everyone is fighting a battle we cannot see. Instead of throwing words like arrows, may we offer words that comfort, uplift, and heal. For in the end, it is not strength to hurt the wounded, but grace to show mercy to the broken.</p><p><br/></p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
