I have read it and I find both your judgemental assessments disturbing for the reasons that I have outlined, namely, you have very scant details and partial knowledge and are in no real position to say anything about it other than to express regret and that people change. It seems to me that its best to refrain from judgements like this until you know all the details and you will never really know. For the record I have not said that his reply was sensible nor warranted. I remain capable of rational thought.

So, you cannot state that you've never attacked a woman? Is that correct?

The warfare isn't as much between men and women per se; rather the internecine global issues are between Arrogance and Humility. The essence of Humility is seeing yourself and your thoughts, words and deeds objectively for what they are in the Context of God's Righteous Standards. Arrogance Skills: 1) Self Deception; 2) Self Justification; Self Absorption. Bet your life savings on the fact that Arrogance is hypersensitive to itself and insensitive to the needs and feelings of other people.

Arrogance is thinking you can see yourself, your thoughts, words and deeds objectively.

Honesty is admitting that you have a subjective image of yourself.

Happiness Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Q. How can you tell if a person is unhappy with her/his life?

A. One would think the answer is obvious. Some people have lived unhappy lives for so long that t ...[text shortened]... : Med Jones of the (IIM) and Dr. Lissa Rankin assess the same issues with similar findings. (1 of 2)
"Life Fulfillment & Happiness FAQ (Draft V1.0) Personal & Leadership Development
By Med Jones International Institute of Management (IIM)

Happiness Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. What are the common thinking and behavioral characteristics of happy people?
A. Here is a short checklist:

• Happy people are not concerned whether life is fair or not, they want to make the best of it.

• They view life as an adventure rather than a test, a fun journey rather than an ego trip, a game rather than a competition.

• These individuals are less attached to false notions of perfect image or lifestyle. They just want to live life, learn, develop and enjoy.

Secure and comfortable in their own skin, events and other people's opinions are less important to them. Although they enjoy compliments, they do not need external validation and they never compare themselves with others to determine their own self-worth.

• Happy individuals tend to be more open and accepting (tolerant of other’s mistakes) and have less need to judge others. They are not easily offended and they are less critical of themselves and others.


They have less of a need to control events and others. When they do exercise control, it is usually a conscious and planned effort rather than an emotional or obsessive reaction. In other words, their need to control is not "out of control."

• They have more peace, hope, courage and confidence. They feel less fear, worry anxiety, stress and anger.

• Because of their "cool" attitude, people who are happy are more relaxed, more spontaneous, less inhibited and more fun to be around with.

• Because of their open-mindedness and positive disposition, they can easily relate to other people, build strong relations and make friends who become a great source of support.

• Since they are less preoccupied with negative experiences, they have ample mental and emotional energy to spend on achieving their goals, which helps them to become more successful.

• Happy people are attracted to other happy people and situations. For example they are more attracted to comedy, educational and fun programs and less interested in watching bad news, tabloids, tragedies, or crime shows.

• They tend to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, whether it’s a golden sunrise, a tasty meal, a fresh drink, a job well done, a friendly conversation, passionate love making or a simple good night sleep.

• They are much more cheerful and much less depressed

The key questions to ask yourself are: How many of the above symptoms do you exhibit? How can you sustain and improve the quality of such emotions?

Q. Can you explain what you mean by the RW, WR and RR people?
A. There are three types of people

• People who do the Right things for the Wrong reasons (they can be successful on the outside, yet unhappy on the inside.)

• People who do the Wrong things for the Right reasons (they have good intentions but cause needless suffering for others.)

• People who do the Right things for the Right reasons (they are the happy people, they enjoy life more than most, but unfortunately they are few.)

At what level are you currently operating?" (2 of 2)

http://www.iim-edu.org/happiness/index.htm

Comment: Med Jones appears to have omitted a fourth category: "RW, WR and RR people" and WW people:

• People who do the Wrong things for the Wrong reasons (the most miserable people in the world online and off).

Let's simplify further: Arrogance can be and often is easily wounded [vibrating emotionally]; humility based on virtue can't.
