In the quiet corners of Vietnam, a tale unfolds, a tale of a man who defies the very essence of human nature—Tai Enuk Tai Neop, an 80-year-old farmer, claims he hasn't slept a wink in over 60 years. His story, shrouded in mystery and skepticism, began with a severe bout of fever in his youth. Born in 1942, Tai's extraordinary story began with a severe fever that struck him at the age of 20. Despite overcoming the fever, his ability to sleep vanished, leaving him in a perpetual state of wakefulness.

Should We Always Be an Open Book?. Top Story - January 2024.
One thing that I have learned over the last several years is that I shouldn’t be too honest or vulnerable with just anyone. In the past it was nice to be able to say that I was an open book. I was to the point that people knew I’d basically answer any question. Over time people around me realized this, and would ask me all sorts of personal questions that I felt obligated to always answer. Talk about painful! I have learned that we shouldn’t be a completely open book to just everyone. As the old quote goes, “Don’t cast your pearls before swine.” That quote is appropriate when thinking about sharing your heart and soul with people. I think it’s important to seek the right people to be vulnerable with because when you do, it builds relational intimacy. I think at the end of the day we’re all seeking meaningful relationships, not heartbreak, right?
