Imagine a country where children are taught empathy like it’s math or science.
In Denmark, kids aged six to sixteen take a weekly class dedicated entirely to understanding others. It’s called Klassens tid — “the class’s hour.”

There are no exams, no grades, no rush. Just an hour to talk. To listen. To learn how to care. Students bring up real problems — friendship issues, loneliness, bullying.
Together, they discuss. They find solutions. They bake cakes, they share thoughts, they build trust.

It’s part of their national curriculum, not an extra. Because Danes believe empathy isn’t just a feeling — it’s a skill. One that keeps a society together. And maybe that’s why Denmark consistently ranks among the world’s happiest countries.

Not because life there is perfect, but because people are taught how to understand one another.

Maybe the world doesn’t need more competition.

Maybe it just needs more Klassens tid.

Amazing

Beneath the forest floor lies a hidden world more alive than most can imagine.

It’s called the mycorrhizal network — a vast web of fungal threads that links trees together like an underground internet.

Through this living system, trees share water, minerals, and even warning signals about drought or insect attacks.

But the most astonishing discovery is the role of “mother trees.” These ancient giants can recognize their own offspring and send them extra nutrients, keeping their young alive in deep shade where sunlight cannot reach.

In some cases, scientists have even found centuries-old tree stumps still alive — being kept nourished by their neighbors long after their own trunks were gone.

Far from competing for survival, forests are built on cooperation, intelligence, and connection.
Every step we take in the woods is above a quietly pulsing network of life, communicating, supporting, remembering.

Nature is not silent. It’s speaking beneath our feet.

A new toxicology study has confirmed that every lipstick sample tested — across major global brands — contained measurable levels of cadmium, a heavy metal classified as a human carcinogen. Even in small doses, cadmium accumulates in the body over time, posing serious health risks including kidney damage, bone loss, reproductive harm, and nervous system toxicity.

Researchers found that lipsticks with brighter red and pink shades contained higher cadmium concentrations, as many cosmetic pigments still rely on cadmium-based colorants for long-lasting vibrancy. Since lipstick is often ingested in small amounts during daily wear, long-term exposure can significantly increase internal metal buildup.

Health agencies are now calling for stricter safety regulations, including full disclosure of heavy metal content on product labels. Experts advise consumers to choose cosmetics labeled “metal-free” or “non-toxic pigments”, and to limit reapplication throughout the day. The study underscores an urgent need for cleaner beauty standards — because what’s on your lips shouldn’t be toxic.
