In the 1960s
Harvard graduate student Jean Briggs made a remarkable discovery about human anger. At age 34, she traveled beyond the Arctic Circle and lived in the tundra for 17 months. No roads. No heating systems. No grocery stores. Winters dropped below –40°C.
Briggs convinced an Inuit family to “adopt” her so she could observe their life in its natural rhythm. Soon, she noticed something extraordinary: the adults had an almost superhuman ability to control their anger. They never lost their temper.
One day, someone spilled a boiling kettle inside an igloo, damaging the ice floor. No shouting. No blame. Just a calm, “Too bad,” before fetching more water. Another time, a fishing line — painstakingly woven for days — snapped on the very first cast. The only response? “Let’s make another one.”
Next to them, Briggs felt like an impulsive child. So she began asking: How do Inuit parents teach their children this emotional mastery?
One afternoon, she found her answer. A young mother was playing with her angry two-year-old son. She handed him a small stone and said, “Hit me with it. Again. Harder.” When he threw it, she covered her eyes and pretended to cry: “Ooooh, that hurts!”
To Briggs, it seemed bizarre — until she realized it was a powerful lesson. The Inuit believe you never scold a small child or speak to them in an angry voice. Instead, they use gentle play to teach empathy and self-control. Even if a child hits or bites you — you respond with calm, not rage.
Maybe the rest of us could learn something from a culture where anger isn’t feared… because it’s understood.

Animals in the jungle attracted to cross has scientists baffled. In the small town of Mysuru, India, a centuries-old monastery has long been known for the large cross that stands just outside its walls. For decades, locals have whispered about something extraordinary elephants, tigers, and even monkeys gathering at the cross, lingering around it as if paying respect.
One traveler, curious about the rumors, decided to investigate. He set up a hidden camera, and the footage stunned everyone: herds of elephants pausing during their journeys, tigers brushing against the stone, and monkeys circling quietly beneath it. When researchers reviewed the recordings, they uncovered something even stranger elephants were altering their annual migration routes just to stop at the cross.
Scientists were baffled. To find answers, they spoke with the monks. The monastery revealed that the cross had been erected generations ago in honor of the man who founded the church. According to legend, he lived in ...
He was born enslaved in Texas. He died a millionaire rancher whose name still rides across the plains. Daniel Webster Wallace entered the world on September 15, 1860, in Victoria County, Texas born into slavery. By the time he died in 1939, he was known as “80 John,” a wealthy rancher, respected cowboy, and community leader whose life story defied every barrier placed before him.
As a boy, Wallace was captivated by the cowboys he saw riding out at dawn. At fifteen, he left plantation fields behind and joined a cattle drive. He began as a wrangler, but his grit, speed, and determination quickly earned him a place among the riders.
Over the years, Wallace worked for some of Texas’s biggest cattlemen, enduring stampedes, droughts, rivers, and raids. His reputation spread across the ranges not just for skill, but for the respect he commanded.
In 1885, his mentor Clay Mann struck a deal: Wallace would save his wages, and Mann would let him pasture cattle under his “80” brand. That ...
