I work hard in public life but none of that at home. Is this because I have
double standards? Otherwise my traits should have been reflecting uniformly in both places, isn't it? or is it the context that matters. Maybe I am motivated to work hard in the public sphere and that gets me appreciation or a sense of fulfilment. And that same factor is not there in the home. So I...

Is it possible for a person to be very softspoken at home and violent and
abusive on the internet in a mailgroup. I find the two irreconciliable and therefore impossible of existence in the same person. Many people tell me "but he's a very nice man with his family" and I can't help feeling that the family is just shutting up and endorsing the "nice man" image for the sake...

One who is seemingly different may actually be the same...

On the highway of life come many side-roads about differnt lives
Confirmation of sticking to the highway of deciding to branch of on a particular road or making one's own road is a decision one must take. It's about being decisive.

We have a lenticular political vision often. We see things from where we
are and care little about seeing things from the point of view of others in whose shoes we should put ourselves. Consequently we have a vision that see things in a lenticular way. For instance we see an open space and think we can make a park out of it. We don't think that the same open space could...

Someone is on a documentation trail and wants to know what part you've
played on something. The tendency if you are selfish would be to enlarge your role and trivialise or render insignificant the roles of others. It's easy to slip into being judgemental. This can happen in terms of how we perceive how our homes are functioning and our roles in them and it can happen...
