Society & Culture - 31 October 2006

There's this girl who is bitchy. She expects things to go her way and likes to boss around. People also like to refer to her as the "popular" girl, for some weird reason. What I can't understand is that despite others knowing her attitude, they side with her and dare not stand up against her even though it's obvious she's wrong.It's like people are intimidated by her. Sometimes we get into group conversations and although I know there are some of her opinions which are erroneous and can be corrected, she will start bitching once I (or anyone else for the matter) states their opinion.

How can I talk and deal effectively with such an attitdue, especially when everyone is siding her? How do I make myself convincing enough so that people will listen to my opinions? Should I fight back when she starts to get bitchy, or should I choose a more passive way and avoid confrontation?

Please help, I'm not very good at dealing with difficult people and I get very pissed off by arrogant character

What happened to the good old days of door to door with your pillowsack and a cute costume? I've been told that if you're going to have your kids trick-or-treat, it should only be to houses of people you know, and that the parents should go through the candy right away when they get home to check for anything suspicious. Paranoia! Well society IS filled with some pretty messed up people creeps. What's your opinion? Few homes of those you know, or a full pillow case with stranger candy?

World has seen many wars. In the name of religion and God over a hundred thousand wars have been waged. Millions have lost their lives; many have become orphans, diseased and lost their homes. Economic wars, political wars, national wars, nuclear wars, have all been different expressions of brutality.

In spite of all the Peace treaties and efforts by well meaning people, where is the world today? Everybody seems to be talking about global peace but it does not seem to be any where on the horizon.

Who is responsible for this? Is the Government responsible? Is it religion or the politician or the man in power or the anti-social elements? Who is to be blamed?

"When would these wars and conflict end?"

You're talking of the Iraq war, Kargil war and the rest. You don't seem to be talking of the war going on inside you. The day war stops inside you, there will no more be wars in the world. It is this conflict inside you, which is manifesting as external conflict. All the time there is war and conflict going on inside you. You are divided within. You are not an individual. You are a crowd inside. When you say, I am uncomfortable with that person, you are uncomfortable with some aspect of yourself. Suppose you say, I am angry with that person, there is something about you, which you are angry within yourself. When you are restless in a crowd, you're restless inside yourself. What is happening outside is a mere reflection of what is going on inside. The violence in the family is reflecting as the external violence. You must know if something is going on somewhere you are also responsible for it. When you are having a fight with your spouse, teasing or bullying or nagging the person, remember here also you are contributing to war. If in a place, they is a population of hundred people and 80 men are nagging and torturing their women, then very soon a physical conflict would emerge in that place. This only becomes that. Therefore unless and until humanity is transformed, there will be war and conflict outside. There could be a nuclear war or a war with conventional weapons or an economic war or a political war, some or other will be going on. That is why the only hope is the world becoming enlightened and people being peaceful within themselves. If you became enlightened and your mere presence would affect a hundred thousand people. That's how you would be contributing to world peace.

In Islam it says the Holy Ka'aba, in mecca was first build by Abraham/ Ibrahim(PBUH), do u(christians & jews) believe this, there is still now the foot print of Abraham/ Ibrahim(PBUH) in Ka'aba.
