"The Hindu Upanishads speak of three types
attitudes - Satwa Guna, Rajo Guna and Tamo Guna.
Rajo Guna means excess thinking than what is
needed. Projects with over confidence are the most
susceptible to unexpected damage. Tamas means
darkness. Tamo Guna person can not assure any
thing. He treats things as if they are dreams. At
times, he goes through extremist methods to make
his projects successful - like the adventures in
dreams. Satwa Guna person keeps his confidence on
practicality. He goes through all details allowing
negative and positive possibilities. He speaks of
the viability of the project but never assures
with full confidence. He is successful most
of the times.

In a world of n number of unexpected and unknown
possibilities, how can any one be absolutely be
confident of his project?"

Why 3 dimension photography is popular only in horror or fairy tales performance ?

Three dimensional 3D photography is claimed "too old".
But flat 2D photography is even older, and there is no 4D photography, and just scientific teories are existent about further dimensions.

Need an analysis on George Washington?

Can someone please give me a paragraph or two on an analysis of George Washington ? What was it about him- personal qualities? High standards? He isn’t know to have been brilliant(in an intellectual sense), but perhaps he was the wisest (arguably most important) of our presidents.

If someone could please write a analysis of him for me that would be amazing!

Thanks in advance
-Sean

What doesn't change when everything in the universe changes?

Nothing stays permanently the same, be it organic or inorganic matter, tangible or intangible matter. So is there anything at all that doesn't change in this universe?

A poem for no particular reason.. comments welcome.?

The winds have blown,
the dust is risen,
i continue to walk on.
My surrondings stir,
I follow my heart,
and onward goes my path.
It twist and turns,
it drops off and restarts,
where it leads i have no idea.
i want to give up,
I have no more drive,
that has kept me going all this time.
I begin to cry,
and i fall to my knees,
i just can not follow this path.
Its led me through all my darkest times,
but it continues to bring me more.
It started out bad,
and just got worse,
but somehow ive just kept walking.
Not knowing where to go,
not knowing who to trust,
I wonder who is on my side.
My friends just stare,
then they look away,
almost as if they had just condemed me.
Is this how my life should really be?
with no where left to turn.
If you know an answer,
to this question i face,
Than for God's sake tell me now.
Or else i fear i've lost all hope,
and my path will surely end.

.. btw: I'm not thinking suicidly right now.. this poem just came to my mind..

If you have read White Fang (by Jack London), this Q is for you?

Do you like the so called "happy ending" of the story? White Fang saves his master's dad's life ?? The Fighting Wolf finally becomes a beloved and respected member of a human family ? Don't you think it would be better if White Fang returns to the Wild world and becomes a real wolf again---free, self reliant, and unbeatable.

When was the novel published ? Would today's American writers handle subjects like this as Jack London did ? Do you like his thoughts on human crimes as expressed in this novel? What else did Jack London write? Was he also a crime story writer?
