Why KAREN ? WHy not Stephanie? WHy not Betty? Why not Jane?

Catty Cook @baguiojade (373) • United States 18 Jul 20

Lately, there had been incidences involving women and their misbehavior and they are called Karen. Have you ever wondered why Karen? Why not Betty? Why not Stephanie? Why not Vivian? What is so special about the name Karen that...

Caleb Howells I think it’s partly due to the fact that Karen is a stereotypical name for a middle-aged quite woman. You wouldn’t find many young women these days called Karen, so that name is quite a specific fit for the stereotype

Caleb Howells That’s a good attitude to have. If we focus on the negatives in life, we can deprive ourselves of the energy we need to actually act and do things that will benefit us. So by staying positive, we keep ourselves energised and able to act as necessary

Caleb Howells Well, before this new type of coronavirus, COVID-19, there were 6 types of coronavirus: SARS, MERS, and the other four were just the common cold. No vaccine has ever been found for any of them. So it’s not surprising at all that it’s taking a long time to...

Caleb Howells If you haven’t already, I would suggest talking to him and telling him how you feel. If you situation is really bad, then surely it won’t make it worse, and it has a very good chance of making it better.

Caleb Howells I understand. At the meetings of Jehovah’s Witnesses that I go to, we were advised to watch the news enough to stay informed, but not watch it too much that it just makes us overwhelmed with anxiety.
