Why are we happy committing same old mistakes, again and again, and ever afraid to commit new ones?

harshadod A leopard does not change its spots, but human beings are like chameleon . We adapt, we change, sometimes to our liking, and sometimes not. Conscious, willed, planned change is difficult.

harshadod I commend you that you do not repeat the same mistakes. Wish that every action of yours brings the result you desire.

harshadod We need to be brave to commit new mistakes. Inertia holds us back. It requires something big to change our habits.

harshadod I find you contradicting yourself. Any way, those who do not vote are not necessarily the people who do not understand the importance of voting. The kids in private schools will have parents from middle class and upper middle class, they are literate , but...

harshadod Drops of water make an ocean. Each individual has to participate and create the wisdom of the crowd. All the evils which you speak of may not disappear but will probably have better checks and balances when we participate in democracy.

harshadod The purpose of life is to make it purposeless. We are hedonistic organisms trying to define ways and means to serve that purpose! I do not agree that government spending on Hadron is wrong or waste of money. Most of the technological applications and applied...

Came across this saying somewhere, We must study science and maths, so that our children can study history and geography, so that their children can study music and arts. What do you have to say about the above quote?

harshadod What it tries to communicate is that the luxury to pursue any branch should be there. Why science and maths as initial choice, because the burgeoning population and quest for productivity makes it essential that we take of our basic needs. Basic needs are met...
