How do you define intelligence? Is it a talant, in the genes or is it another invention to make it possible to achieve power for some people while putting down others?
Do not think I need more information in this matter.
Have told my children to lie is a bad thing. They still lie, so do I and many with me...
however, the most important thing is to lable it as bad, finding excuses, recolor something that is black to white, ends finally with court difficulties.
We can forgive a lie, still we better recognize it as a lie.
I have to disagree with you, do not ask a question if you feel you may not be able to handle the truth.
"No, of course it does not make you look fat" if it is not true is belitteling and in no way soothing, only confusing and an invitation to keep on with lies.
When asked a question like that, I usually ask if he or she really want my opinion. Sometimes I need go no further.
Then you say "how are YOU then?" He/she goes "just fine"
Then the next lie appear as you can not admit, healthy you are, you have been to bed all day...sick. No, you have met with friends having had a great time at Ritz! He/she knows, as he/she is doing the same thing. And you smile towards each other....wondering what is true or false.
Well if that is what we want, we sure as h**l get it!!!
Nothing compassionate what so ever in a little white lie. If not asked keep silent and be careful what you ask, you may not be able to handle the answer really well.
A little white lie is nothing but a big lie wrapped in silkpaper.
I would say no, do not go there again. I have the feeling when something like this happen, you will always have it in the back of your mind, thinking it may happen again sooner or later......sad thing, but you will probably be quite right.
Listen Fellow Americans or Fellow Human Beings, two things I believe we all can agree upon are, we will all one day leave this crazy world one way or the other...and....we will never be able to "agree" as a unit.
We are bewhildered lunetics. Do not recognize beauty or understand how to possess it, if it happens to stumble over us.
Living in our small "boxes" looking in on ourself, we think we are just great and fine. We do not beat our wives or dogs. We do not argue in front of our children (hoping they are too stupid to sense it) we feed our fish, kiss our husbands good morning and do not admit we spend a few minutes thinking about what to steal from work today, a pen? a pack of coffeebeans? What the hell, underpaid I have the right.
Let us face it.....Obama is one of us....a little more responsibility.....more of this only in this case involve a larger company and bigger the supply and temptations.
There are times in life 64 years old is a very nice place to be, at the moment I would enjoy pack them all up in a bag, find myself a wonderful place by a mountain and spend the rest of my life trying to befriend the wolves!
That is today.....tomorrow I may look for someone to love!!!!
That is great and show strength. I am more coward, I chase the moments, the places and the situations in which my mind automatically rinses from these emotions. Rarely take the bull by the horn. I stay places where bulls rarely enter!!!
True, but if in a open relationship, let us just figure every third woman and man do have this issue. The open space cuts short pretty instantly, or am I wrong???
Few people can afford to keep mind open and free today, an open and free mind is in my opinion a choice. You are right, it does not grow, most minds make other priorities.......we need not guess on that one.
Okey then, are you talking free of bounds- and controlling emotions, then any model would work. But is it not nothing but emotions holding us back or pushing us forward wheather we want it or not.
Intelligence..really, what IS it??
For sure, there has got to be a limit!!
