subhojit10 @subhojit10 (7375) • India 3 Mar 13

Hey guys, i have heard people saying that they like being honest, straightforward and hence whatever comes to their mind and heart they say it as it is. I believe that it is not bad being honest or saying the truth n even i prefer...

subterfuge54 Yeah, I agree with you. It is indeed great to be honest. But there are things better left unsaid so as not to ruin everything. The thing is you should choose your battles wisely. I mean you should think it through whether it really is necessary to say or not...

subterfuge54 You are definitely right. Girls are full of ironies. Most of the time they want to keep you guessing on how to approach her. They tend to keep their age secret because men usually seek younger girls but they get disappointed when you forget their birthday...

How can we say things in a manner that hurts the least?

lloydbelleza @lloydbelleza (1227) • Philippines 12 Feb 13

I have been thinking, is there anyway we could make hurtful things hurt less? Like how can you say to a mother that her child is dying, and at the same time hope that she would remain calm, and not cover herself with unending...

subterfuge54 You know I think about death as a birthday of one's life in eternity. Her suffering has ended and she'll be in peace with God. The person, when she shared very good memories with others, can never completely leave you. She remains in your hearts forever. So...

I teach 8-9 year olds from low income/ low socioeconomic areas. Recently I have run into problems with students bullying and picking on each other. In a class of 24 students I have about 5 students who are constantly picking on...

subterfuge54 Have you tried making a behavioral contract with each of them in front of their parents? The behavioral contract states specific behaviors that you, as teacher, wants to address like bullying. Then the student and the parents set agreeable consequences and...

subterfuge54 Maybe we start off with defining what kind of revolt you want. Is it the bloody revolution or an intellectual revolution like what Rizal always wanted? In order to gain freedom from all this mishaps in the society, one should know what that freedom entails. If...

subterfuge54 As Blaise Pascal once said: "The heart has reason which reason cannot understand." That is a good story everyone wants to follow. For one reason, many, including me would initially say that that kind of relationship would not last so we would keep an eye on...

Does the Past Matter?

theSids @thesids (22180) • Bhubaneswar, India 8 Sep 10

Many people believe that the past of a person is not that important. But there are some who believe that the past of a person is very well important to be considered to have an idea of what the person is all! What is your say?

past

refresh

start a new life

subterfuge54 I guess the past matters in the sense that it shaped the person in the present. But knowing the past of the person should not be the focus if you want to know the person. What matters most is how he lives his present and learns from his past.

figurativeme @figurativeme (1089) • Philippines 21 Aug 10

subterfuge54 I also have thought of that. We don't seem to do more efforts to at least minimize or ideally eradicating manifestations of our xenocentrism or preference of other culture's product rather than it's own such as what you have mentioned. I too am guilty of this....
