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.

Happy And Meaningful Life

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/01/theres-more-to-life-than-being-happy/266805/: "Happy people get a lot of joy from receiving benefits from others while people leading meaningful lives get a lot of joy from giving to others," explained Kathleen Vohs, one of the authors of the study, in a recent presentation at the University of Pennsylvania. 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,

On Monday, Truss proposed a “war on Whitehall waste”. Then Tory MPs who read the small print complained that the proposal meant docking the wages of teachers and nurses outside London. By Tuesday, Truss was denying she had ever had such a policy. Johnsonism is the technique of saying things to woo one audience without caring how they will be heard farther afield. "

She, like Boris, seems to be a person who says and does everything based on what is immediately expedient as though she has only AI (artificial intelligence and no human one) regardless of her position earlier and regardless of what is morally/ethically appropriate.

A friend sent me this article: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/sep/02/mikhail-gorbachev-nelson-mandela-donald-trump-boris-johnson-liz-truss?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other. I was reminded of another article in Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/apr/19/fashion-fabrics-and-fishtails-why-we-need-to-talk-about-what-female-classical-performers-wear#comment-155980075 : Maybe at this point in time we should recap what the Oxford scholar Leah Broad said in this article. That while evaluating a female soloist one should evaluate also their dress. I am sure Ms. Broad would extend the logic to prime ministers too. That the PM should be evaluated not just for their fiscal or immigration policies but also for their sartorial correctness. Perhaps our opinion of Truss would be different then, all thanks to Leah.

The causal process by which a person decides whether to marry is simply different from the processes that cause balls to roll downhill, ice to melt in the hot sun, a magnet to attract nails, or a stock price to rise and fall."
