Hi All, I was just thinking about the education I got at my school way back in the 1970-80s. And tried to relate quite some of these teachings with the experiences that Life taught me. Here are a couple to share - 1. They...

kimberley123 Schooling is such an important part of children's upbringing. Most of school is factual, maths, science etc, but the teachings you are talking about is not from formal education. Its from personal contact. Those views and values you were taught aren't part of...

War.

DoctorDidi @DoctorDidi (7018) • India 3 Jan 11

I want to remind you a famous line which goes as follows: ’war does not determine who is right, only who is left’. But still now mankind is involved in wars. Do you believe a day will come when mankind will realize the inner...

kimberley123 I really wish that war wasn't a part of our culture, and that people could understand your quote (nicely chosen btw), but i fear this veiw is naive. War has become a necessary part of life. In the past, war has been used to shape the world we live in. For...

gracielle @gracielle (346) • Philippines 4 Jan 11

They always say that if things are meant to be, it is meant to be & no matter what & how you will try to reroute,it will still happen. Maybe at some point it was right because there are happenings in my life that I don't really...

kimberley123 I really do believe in destiny. Early last year, my friend suffered an awful accident. His life fell apart: he lost his job, his girlfriend, friends, financial security and most importantly his confidence. However, while trying to put his life back together,...

kimberley123 I love making new years resolutions! It gives me a goal to work too, something to aim for. Even if every year i probably break my resolution after a few weeks. It does give me chance to recognise what things are wrong in my life and address them properly. And...

Gender disparity.

DoctorDidi @DoctorDidi (7018) • India 4 Jan 11

In spite of human civilization attaining such a high level, there is gender disparity prevailing all over the world, especially in underdeveloped and developing countries. Women are still now treated as second class citizens in...

kimberley123 I don't generally support treating women, or any proportion of society as second rate citizens, but i think it does depend of the specifics of the situation. Men and women are equal and should be treated as equal, ie neither one better than the other, but it...

kimberley123 This does sound like a good idea, especially if you are anything like my partner. He would leave his head at home if it wasn't screwed on! And having a stash hidden for emergencies could be invaluable if you ever get stuck or the car breaks down. However, are...

kimberley123 Well, it depends exactly what you plan on selling. But i would imagine that food would always sell better than clothes. The food business in the states is one of the only not too affected by the recession. I read somewhere that half of the money Americans...

kimberley123 Some of the older alien films among the best. The original 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' is a very good alien movie, not so much the remake. Again, the original 'War of the Worlds' was good, i didn't really like the remake. Its too far from the original...
