A friend sent me this video. When I was watching it, I had a strange feeling
What I do while chatting online is like that man.
Jisko samajh aaye theek hai. Some get it. Others think I am very rude!
Tareeke alag hain. On the surface the man is doing face to face there. Very beautiful house, handsome man etc. In my case no face to face. No picture. Par maqsad kafi hadh tak ek.

In other words, meaning transcends the self while happiness is all about giving the self what it wants. People who have high meaning in their lives are more likely to help others in need. "If anything, pure happiness is linked to not helping others in need," the researchers, which include Stanford University's Jennifer Aaker and Emily Garbinsky, write. What sets human beings apart from animals is not the pursuit of happiness, which occurs all across the natural world, but the pursuit of meaning, which is unique to humans,
The nationalist fervor MAGA (make America great again) is perhaps linked or correlated to other conservative agenda (anti abortion, white supremacy, removal of gay rights, anti immigration and so on).
I guess this means that if i espoused conservative agenda I could use euphemise and say I wanted America great again. And have a bunch of red (Republican) States support me
Boris has fallen. Trump is in still standing strong.
I wonder if this is any reflection on the strength of the system in UK vis-a-vis USA
Boris being far more silly and less vicious a scum than Trump, his eviction seems to indicate a lot less tolerance for bull in UK.
This is an article comparing the two. Boris Johnson faced revolt in his party. Trump never had that problem.
This is my comparison of the two.
Boris was thrown out by his own people (Tories). Trump is revered by his GOP.
I was wondering why. Maybe because Boris is just a one man con-man. Trump is a movement. Trump created a legacy. 6 conservative judges out of 9.
Boris just got Brexit done and that too is a mess.

A friend of mine (she is in her 40s) had a huge argument today with her 50 year old brother. I don't know what led to the argument, what she said, what he said etc. Both siblings are separated from their respective spouses.
During the course of the argument, she opened all windows in the apartment and loudly expressed her opinion of her brother's various failures, including his multiple marriages.
The brother is very sensitive to this issue and hates to cut a sorry figure in front of his friends, neighbours and relatives. The brother threw a footwear at his sister. The sister dialled 100, told the police there was a domestic violence issue.
The police came home, made enquiries. How does one address a domestic violence issue of this kind between siblings?
They enquired of the elderly father. The father was mum and refused to say anything to the police.
The police counseled everyone and left.
Now the questions:
As a passing note, I want to mention that the act of throwing anything including footwear at someone is an issue legally. One has cause to complain.
But can anyone go to the police and complain that someone opened the windows and talked loudly?
I came across this: APNews being the trusted source of news for half the world. And there is Truth Social which also is read and trusted by...
