By Diplomacy Journal Special Feature Editor Andy Hyun If one lives with a happy mind, 90% of illnesses will go away.

If we were to prioritize, food and exercise account for only 20%, while taking care of your mind accounts for 80%. When you think you have happy and have positive thoughts, T lymphocytes (T cells), a type of immune cell, actively function. However, if you continue to harbor negative thoughts or emotions such as *envy, *jealousy, *anger, *hatred, *resentment and fear, complaint, *

Global [Cambodia: A Nation of Crime] Part 3: Where lies the safety of foreign tourists?
By Diplomacy Journal Kayla Lee Cambodia was once a country that welcomed foreigners with the ‘angelic smile’. But now, that smile has frozen cold.

And the people asked coldly. “Where the hell was the government?” Delayed cooperation, shifting blame, a life obscured by ‘procedures’. When the victim's family reported in late July that “my brother seems to be held captive,” police immediately confirmed his cell phone location was overseas. Yet, no im
