You are right; people should not just believe hearsays as if it is the truth, and then they will be affected or stressed by it. It is better if they hear or experience it on their own.
-
If people would relax, listen, comprehend, they wouldn’t panic over things and be able to slowly deal with any kind of challenge. But getting worked up about something that may not even be real is the problem.
-
-
yes, right
-
People just have to know that they don’t know…

You have no chance of winning over an angry person. Yes, just let him say his peace and just be calm.
That’s actually how we are when we are angry, we are ready to attack with our mouth and sometimes with our fists. But once we have unleash it we realize what we have done, but too late to repair the damage that was done.
Though, in what you call the rabid Anti-Putin, it is best to just keep your silence on the subject.
I learn that politics and religion are two of the most sensitive topics actually.

And when people get too emotional…it is time to run

I agree. Especially, if you separated from your husband because he beats the wife, physically and verbally.
There are a lot of cases here in the Philippines, where the woman separated from her husband because of that. Then, the husband would ask for another chance and the woman would go back, because of their children who wants them back together.
Sad to say, that the man beats her again physically and verbally.
Now, she has to file a complaint and have her husband imprisoned. That should be what is to be done for a husband who beats his wife.
-
When a woman marries an abusive man, he often so destroys her sense of herself, she second guess her actions. Because her confidence is shaken, she makes the mistake of letting him back into her life for dire consequences.

Trump has always been true to his character even before he became US president. His flaws was always there to see for anyone who bothered to pay attention. For Trump it was “ME,ME,ME First!” During the presidential campaign he use “bait and switch” tactics promising the electorate things he had no intention to fulfill. Unfortunately for him the general public is getting tired of his childish antics and Trump’s credibility continues to erode. He’s like the boy who cried “wolf”.
-
He is a spoiled brat who cares for no one but his pocket. The people who voted for him still try to support him, despite his childishness, and stupidity.
-
-
I think, Trump has really been like that indeed since he was a child. And being rich, he doesn’t accept that he commits mistakes, but others committed it.
It’s sad that America has chosen a president who only knows how to make some escapes for the failures he is now making in his governance of the country.
But I hope, the people will unite and he will have a change of heart and hear what the majority wants to improve the country and work together for the good of the country.
-
No, I think those people who supported him are so stupid they will follow him off the cliff. I don’t see anything positive coming out of his presidency.

This book does sound like a great read. It also sounds like a simple read. Sometimes I avoid sci-fi books because they seem complicated. Also science fiction is not my favorite book genre. I like historical romance. 🙂
-
It is a great read and isn’t that simple. There are many relationships between the people, and events. If you start it you will finish it.

Language is for communication, not miscommunication and misunderstanding. Whatever the rules or conventions or grammatical structure, etc. may be … if you’re not communicating then you’re simply not speaking the same language. If people want to live together and get along, they better figure out how to talk to each other.
For the record, why would any judge let the lawyer get away with asking the witness a stupid question like that? Why would any jury not look at the lawyer with a wary eye? Why wouldn’t the opposing attorney object? Simple. The case wasn’t about justice.
-
Having been in Court. The Prosecutor had sat, the Defence rose, and quietly asked the questions and got the answers. Why interfere? If you were giving evidence; “I was on Literacy Base at six o’clock’ and I stood up, “Is that post meridian or anti- meridian?” and you said ‘anti’ did I trick you when you confused anti with post? Nope.
There was a case, a young man was charged with an offense. His alibia; “I went to the midnight show at the Palace…” the offence happened shortly before one… the very witness who put him on the scene had testified he was at the midnight show.
I knew, the Court didn’t, that a ‘midnight show’ starts at 11:30
-
You said the accused was exonerated. Exonerated? That means nothing ever happened. Innocence proven all because a person couldn’t speak English properly? Suppose the poor woman couldn’t speak English. She spoke another language. Or worse, she was mute and couldn’t scream for help. I get very touchy about injustice. But especially about rape cases because almost always there usually are only 2 eye witnesses: the rapist and the victim.
-
The Rapist was found Not Guilty by the Jury. The address of Defence counsel focused on ‘consent’. Embrace, Stroll, Make Love.
This is the cost of not speaking English. At no time did the complainant seem unfamiliar with the terms, changed them, asked them to be repeated. Her evidence is as I gave it. This is just one example… possibly the most obvious.
-
In America, if you can raise a reasonable doubt in a criminal case then the accused can be set free. I understand the Defense has to do their job. Their job is to defend the accused. The Defense did their job. But there were other responsible parties involved who had a job to do too! Seems like not everybody wasn’t doing their job. It happens a lot. Not just in your country.

People will use your weakness against you. In Ja. it has led to a lot of out sourcing. A lot of jobs have been filled by ex-pats because Jamaicans can’t speak English. I’m going to blog about it

That is so treu. A adult person got a healthy brain. We all got a sence that tell us between right and wrong. We cant blame some-one else if we ask for their advise. No one held a gone to any-ones head and said you must do that! Where is this guys own judgement to know right from wrong?
-
He’s weak. And if he blames someone else, he doesn’t have to man up.

Nobody ever helps you carry the weight of your bad decisions and actions. You are solely responsible. Admitting you are wrong is very liberating. It lifts a huge burden you have been carrying all by yourself. That’s if you not only admit it, but you are genuinely sorry, you have no intentions of repeating your act, and you bend over backwards to try to fix anything broke when you screwed up!
-
The point is, if you make a mistake you say, I made it. Shows courage, strength. Many people don’t have it.
-
Totally agree with you. My point is some folks only admit it because they got caught! 🙂
-
Oh! That is a whole different Point! Yeah, you got the jelly all over your face, you admit eating the last jelly donut. Not much wiggle room there.
-
LOL. 😀 Yes. I speak from experience. I know all about the donuts. Mine have custard though. Not jelly. LOL. 🙂
-
-
A boy I know when into the supermarket, opened a box of jelly donuts, and was about to take a bite, when security grabbed him, his hand squeeze, the jelly got on his face.

This is very true and in this complex world, its not easy to let go your ego and admit your own wrong doings.
-
To stand up and admit a mistake actually does boost your ego. You show your ability to take the repercussion instead of point to someone else.
-
-
I agree with you. People who can strongly admit their errors are stronger than those trying to evade being “persecuted.” They are cowards. We love people who sacrifices being humiliated than those who try to pretend they are infallible.
-
And those who keep blaming others, keep making the same mistakes
-
-
Very true. It takes courage for a person to admit his wrongdoing. Oftentimes, we would tell what we call “white lie” just to save our face from admitting it.
However, even if we have told a white lie, we will still be bothered by our conscience for not speaking the truth or not admitting the lie that we have told.
People who admits their wrongdoings are courageous and really honest people. They would rather face the ridicule, shame and punishment for telling the lie than be forever bothered by admitting a wrong done.
And I can say that people who can do this are the people who really have God in their heart , soul and mind.
-
Some people are just cowards. And weak. They can never say… “I did this…” They can never take blame. They can blame everyone else for their failures.
-
-
You have to stay away from those people, because they are bone cowards. If they can’t admit their own mistakes you can’t ever trust or rely on them.
-
its lots really to say or admit you are wrong, it means you are in wise person humble and understand what human means, that was good post and really nice one thanks for sharing it with
-
Thank you. I agree with your sentiments
-
-
wow thats nice topic and good writen post, admiting your wrong of even say yoour sorry is great and means how open mind you are and how respectful and hamble to other people, its so nice if all that people do that and really it means so peaceful life if they are all do that, good for you and for the site
-
The problem in not having the strength to admit fault makes one weak.
-
-
Everything that happened in the past, happening currently in your life or will happen in the future are all attributed to you.
-
That is a very interesting way of looking at things.
-
-
It is tough but not impossible! There are some arrogant people who never take it easy as they always tend to stick to their point. But I think If we admit our mistakes, it would lead us to be perfect in near future.

I simply hate all those so called infants who don’t have the ability to take their decision on their own. Your parents should be your guide who shall refrain you from doing anything wring but depending on them for each and everything is completely unacceptable.
Such people can never ever live a happy married life. This is a hard fact and if parents don’t realize this and try to make there kids independent then they are really ruining the life of their children.
It is a reality of life that each and every child has his own life and will have to manage it on his own as well. This is really important for everyone to understand.
It is the choice of parents whether they want to raise dependent kids or successful kids.
Exactly. Parents have to raise people, not children. Independent, capable people
Fortunately, I was able to raise our child well. At her grade one in elementary I initially taught her on her homeworks. Then I would review her for her tests.
However at the middle of the school year, she told me that she can manage already and would just ask me for help whenever she can’t understand her homework. But since then, she never asked me again to assist her on her homeworks. She was one of the top 5 in grade one.
Comes, grade 2 she was the top 2 and she graduated valedictorian in elementary. At high school, she was a scholar at a Philippine Science High School. So with when she was at University of the Philippines. She graduated cumlaude.
Because she’s a cumlaude, she passed for a scholarship at a posh hospital’s school and graduated in Medicine as top 3.
Now, she’s a doctor. 🙂
What is a bit disappointing though, is I feel that I wasn’t much needed by her in terms of her studies. Though, she raves fro my cooking and would request for them whenever she’s at home for vacations.
The point is to teach a child how to learn, and step back and let them. Once you gave her the basics, she’s supposed to be able to manage. It is like teaching her to ride a bicycle. There comes a point you let go. And she goes on herself. So you did a very good job.
For me, much better if parents will teach their children at the young age to become independent. In that matter they will grow independent, wise, and can be able to decide for themselves unlike most children who become dependent on their parents in every aspect of their live without having the courage to with their own two feet. Truly, family is the best foundation to teach their children all the necessary values thet should know to become a better person in the near future.
Exactly. Too many parents smother a child, don’t let them exercise their judgment, and constantly try to make their lives too easy. They don’t develop the skills to be independent.
It is a big error for parents to always treat their children as kids even when they had grown up. They should allow them to be independent, to learn and lead a life of their own.
Parents can only give some advice if their children seek it; they can just guide their children to the right path of maturity.
One has to start young, raise them to feel they can make their own decisions, then, when they are adults, they are capable of doing this and parents can be so proud.
True I have observed many such cases here too. One of the reasons for that is the parents indulging in ‘Helicopter Parenting’. They do not allow children to take decisions and own them up whatever the consequences. They say why are you doing these works we are there for you. Why do you have to go to the shop we will buy what you want for you. Why do you worry about money just ask what you like we will buy it for you. So on and so forth.
This same trend continues unfortunately even after marriage and it will lead to a mess as the children are still having the same mentality of the child and have not grownup. They have not been enabled by their parents. The parents on the other hand feel they have given the best to their children and have taken 100 percent care of this. While they have basically made them incapable, dependent and dysfunctional. A good topic well highlighted.
During the teenage years, children’s need for responsibility and autonomy gets stronger – it’s an important part of their path to young adulthood. To become capable adults, teenagers need to learn to make good decisions on their own.
The process of helping children take responsibility and make decisions is a key task for parents. You have an important role to play in training and supporting your child to be ready for more responsibility. This means you need to plan when and in what areas to let your child start making decisions.
How quickly you hand over responsibility to your teenager is up to you. It depends on many factors, including your own comfort level, your family and cultural traditions, and your child’s maturity.
Independence starts developing when you choose to stop actively controlling your child’s life. Instead, you give your child more autonomy and responsibility for her actions in some areas. You might not like all her choices or the results, but learning to be independent and responsible helps your child develop skills for life.
When you’re trying to decide whether to give your child more responsibility for a decision, you have three options – yes, no and maybe.
