when someone says who's responsible for a certain violent outbreak,
can you blame it on one person? No outbreak of violence can happen at the behest of one person alone. Even if one person were to give the orders, he is able to carry the day because he enjoys the support of others in this exercise. Some may be more responsible (but that is a matter of degrees). What...

How would you rate one who is so intense about animal care but cares two
hoots about human beings? Would you just put it down as a preference? or as snobbishness? Or as lots of sensitivity to beings that cannot express themselves?

When people drag their feet on getting things going and it always needs one
indispensable sort of person to push everyone around, is the problem with that "indispensable" person who makes himself or herself indispensable or the others who need to be pushed around? Or what's the grey in this?

What do you think about parents wanting the children to stay separately
once they've attained majority? Is it a good thing for each to have their own space? or is it about being individualistic?

U speak and u are damned and u don't engage with a person n u are damned.
What does one do in these situations I wonder. I think I would speak or not speak with this person based on my convenience. Since he is so erratic anyway, I may as well be erratic as well or he'll end up giving me ulcers. What's your take on this?

What thoughts does the word "death" conjure?
Some see death as a transition from this life to an after life. For some of us mundane people, we feel that the person who has died is no more and we will miss that person. For others, death is a reminder that we have "so much time" in the world and no more. For still others, death signifies that...

We have a tree in our neighbourhood that is posing a danger
to our house. It isn't leaning on our house, but it is diseased and certified to be dangerous, but not perceived as such cos it's not leaning. On the other hand, there was a tree belonging to a relative which was leaning towards someone's house but it had a natural tilt, as in it was that way from...
