On another thread I've attempted to engage forum members in a discussion about life being a "battle of wits", (or not). One way in which there may be fair objections to the argument raised in that discussion is when someone feels they need help, emotional support or whatever, and where they...

Another thought occurred to me after my first response and it is some folks with "quick tempers" can do very well in life, and deserve to do well, if not least because they dont choose to hide their feelings, (maybe its often healthier for them to do so). :)

If you love someone I guess you tolerate things you might not in others, or even ignore them altogether, (blind to whatever fault it might be).

There is certainly something very cold imagining human relationships in terms of who might be getting the better of the other, (a friend of mine whose late husband was a bank manager said that was what he did in his job!).

Here is some post covid humour for you, "as folks start to get back to normal"¬!

You've reminded me of this, quote: "..., for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism." Full text, quote: "Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace...

I suppose it is an obvious truth that life is a battle of wits, and of course there is the old joke or saying, quote: "Life is a battle of wits, and many people have to fight it unarmed." However, if that were all there is to life then there are all kinds of repercussions to consider, (where...

I like your introduction of evolution into the discussion but can I suggest that whilst running from a "sealion" might be the right way to go you're unlikely to outrun the lion you've come across in the Serengeti or wherever, so may be best sitting quiet and hoping it cant sense you're presence...

As a child I used to keep asking questions such as "Why this or that was the case" or "What if" type questions, (not that I'm suggesting you have because I'd guess most forum members would have some unease about what is now described as the "new normal" :) ). I often received the response from...

I can tell you something that is true, (whilst agreeing with all of the above posts), one day these two celebrities will die, though I think it unlikely we'll hear the news of their deaths on the same day and the only remaining doubt is whether we will all be around to hear the news of course! :( :)

Quote: "I should like to call the attention of parents to three points, in which they often transgress, often, I believe, from pure thoughtlessness. (1) The habit of criticizing teachers before the children, or, still worse, allowing the children to sit in judgment of them. Love and reverence...
