Excellent question in the end of your article “One wonders what is going on.” Over the past few years, it seems to me as if the Western media is constantly pushing stories and images of homosexuality in our homes through plays, books, movies, and news. No story seems to be complete without a homosexual character even where it is not needed in the plot or has got nothing to do with the story.
-
Exactly. Here is a story we all know… there is no Gay character in Beauty and the Beast, yet this one is jammed in and you are forced to keep it in… why? Why is homosexuality being forced on people?
-

I must agree that it being a movie that caters for children and their parents, that part should really be cut.
Indeed it seems that homosexuality now is now being injected in movies. Good if it is to make people laugh, it will be okay and can be watched by children, since gays are people filled with humor.
Actually, I haven’t seen that movie yet. Maybe because it’s the for children type of movie that’s why I am not interested, although I can watch that should I want to. I think the kid in me has already slept just waiting to be awakened.
Though here in the Philippines the children are used to seeing gays in fact some of them are already gays at a young age.
However, in your country where it is not yet openly accepted, it understandable that the said part be cut instead. That’s a good move of your government. I salute your government for doing that.
-
Malayasia went to cut it, and Disney refused. In Jamaica… I don’t think they’ll show the movie. We don’t need to see it.

LOL. If people could re-write the Bible they’d make the relationship between David and Jonathan homosexual. Believe me I’ve heard people try to argue that! So there’s a gay scene in the latest version of “Beauty and Beast”. Why am I not surprised?

Money is a leading direction at all!
-
True, agree with what you say.
-
-
Money is all that you say it is. If only folks could figure out how to take it out of this world when they leave! Not to say that many have not tried to take it with them. It makes me wonder. Money is so powerful in this world. But you can’t take it into the next world? So … ??? What has the power in the next world? If it’s not money, what could it be? It’s a thought.
Also … if we can live without money in the next world, then why couldn’t we figure out how to live without money in this world too? It’s another thought.
-
Appreciate your thoughts. Agree that one cannot eat money not take it with him to the other world as you have correctly put. It is a facility which humans created to fulfill a required but ended up being slaves to the same in one way or the other. In this world even if we would want the system is such that we cannot live without money. It is sad but it is a fact too.

Thanks for sharing this. Your article is as my economy text book which I read and study during my Pre-U period.
I love all these story and information, it helps me refresh my reading memory on economic topics from the basic.
I love to collect coins, especially the old one if possible, the latest one doesn’t have good design as the old one, and the “old” feeling, to me. Hehe! -
Thank you for liking the article and good to hear that it made you remember your good old days as a student. As we grow we take up new things and generally tend to forget the old due to high load of information. What I feel is these sort of articles act to refresh our mind and makes it rewind in time.
Good to know you are a coin collector. Try to collect as many as you can of different countries as you do not know which one will go out of circulation and become rare at what time. At that time you may be if you are lucky sitting on a gold mine. Best wishes and regards.

Money is essential for us to be able to buy our necessities, house and cars.
It is amazing that in those days, those things are being bartered in lieu of the non-existent yet paper bills and coins.
It is more amazing also that now, even with the use of a plastic card called credit card one can purchase through store even the most expensive things.
But with these credit cards a lot of people are now buried in debt to these credit cards because they didn’t know how to handle it well.
-
Agree with you money management and knowledge to handle different instruments that serve as money or money’s worth forms an important part of teaching people how to handle different forms of money. True many people have been ruined by credit cards as they have got used to taking and using more and more without repaying the same. People who are not financially disciplined are better off without such instruments. It also turns into addiction like people becoming shopaholic.
These people spend everything on the addon card while the person in whose name the primary name is there will endup footing the bill which he is neither aware nor may be having the resources to pay back for what has been done. Cash also has its share of problems as having too much of cash in the house will provide chance of the money being burgled. Each one is having its advantages and disadvantages it depends on how well an individual is aware and manages these instruments. Thank for your inputs.

money is money even if changed we value what it could really bring us its not really vital what it looks like, also if the money will not bring anything then we would not care abuot it, really thanks for your post nice to remember that and the money values also, but sure humanity is more importana i do not want to sound money addict or so, with that said i have to say that it looks your work is from the heart as the title reflect it, thanks again for let us read it and sharing

Appreciate your point of view and thanks for the short review and appreciation. Money over the period of time has had an interesting journey. I have been able to cover only a few aspects of the same. What I have observed in my life is that if an individual is competent and is able to get gainfully employed and has the requisite qualifications. Money tends to chase such people. One more interesting observation which I made over a number of years is money tends to attract more money like a magnet.
I agree with you that humanity is more important as if humans were not there and civilizations progressed, the concept of money itself would not have existed. Anything in moderation is good so is money. If one knows to how to use different instruments which are used as money then that person will know how to earn, manage and save money well and prosper in life. We can see this from the lives of many successful businessmen and other celebrities too.

And I am and my husband one of them. We both don’t say sorry when we realize our mistake. Although, we would hug to make up for the non-existent sorry.
Yes, I would nag him and accuse him too when he didn’t answer my call. I would text him nagging words also.
And when he arrives home, he would explain and show to me his phone – drained. I would feel ashamed of myself, but won’t say sorry. I would hug him instead.
I think we understand each other when we are sorry because we both would hug instead of say the very difficult word sorry.

It is the same thing here. With communications. It is like it is a leash. Sometimes I slip the leash.

Indeed, Demonetization, inspite of some of the drawbacks in the way it was implemented has been successful in making more people into cashless economy. Many people, especially older ones used debit cards for the first time.
I have used one of the Mobile Wallets to pay to local vegetable groceries, Autowallahs, book stationers etc, and the best advantage of being cashless is that one does not have to worry about change of Rs.1, 5, 10 etc.
Moreover, one can directly get amount transfered to their bank accounts. RBI has to print lesser notes thus checking inflation, and Government’s debt too reduces.
Still, a lot of people have switched back to cash for smaller transactions, and this has to be somehow addressed.
But this is not bad as such, because even in Western countries, especially UK, US etc, smaller transcations are in cash.
Yet, it is good if larger transactions are done electronically to check misuse of funds, especially in Government sponsored schemes, Defence and Infrastructure payments, as you have mentioned.
Black money too gets reduced.Overall, a big plus for India, but Government needs to be vigilant, because those used to big amounts of black money will try to defame Government and mislead people in different ways.

Funny, how he waited for your response. He is a bit of a paranoid. Imagine waiting for you when it is just a virtual place.
WHen I am on a blogging site, I don’t actually expect to be responded at once because I know that we all have different time zones.
But when my comment gets a response at once, I would really have a nice interaction with that person. We would comment on each other’s response until it gets too long and funny.

If we are going back and forth, i.e. messenger and I say, brb or I’m going out or whatever… to tell you I’m not there… fine. If I get an email, well it could have been sent yesterday.. I answer. Doesn’t mean I am sitting in email… so.. have to give time… post. No answer… wait. Person could be off line

Arguments are often caused by misunderstanding or lack of communication. Some people who are having a bad day, sometimes lash out, to start an argument with the wrong person or it could be the right person. This does not make it right, to start an argument. One thing that I realize, is that nothing can be resolved when this happens.
When a person is living a miserable life, this is also a reason that a person might become argumentative. It is hard to ignore this person, but would be the best result so the argument will not be escalated. Arguments can turn out to be very ugly if it is not handled correctly. Someone has to be the better adult about it.
There are times when a person wants to have the last word, which can also trigger an argument. I have learned that you are not always going to get your point across to a person. It does not necessarily have to be your fault, but you have to know when to let things go. If there is no reason for you to respond to this person, then don’t. Sometimes you can just be tested by certain people, to see if they can get a reaction from you. If you bite, then the argument is on!
So just be mature about the situation and handle it like an adult. If a person wants to start an argument, let them argue by themselves. Talking, being civilized, is often the best solution when an argument occurs. If there is no reasoning, then you need to walk away.

That is very true
