two questions answered-
a. The pic signifies either that women are stereotyped as the ones who have to be doing all the cleaning or that men are stereotyped as slobs!
b.I don't think you can love some one enough to kill them, but maybe to kill for them....
1.
When we try to "forget" something, it obviously IS in our mind that time...and that defeats the purpose!
2.
Icecream!
3.
If the two choices seem equally right, flip a coin. And whatever choice you make, damn well stick to it. Because after making a choice, you have two choices yourself: 1. repent, 2. keep your head held high that you had the guts..
Now, choose again
4.
Definitely giving more than taking. We come to this earth with nothing and leave with nothing. Why care about amassing a lot of wealth and using the earth's resources? Give something back to it or to its beings
5.
An old cliche
6.
Nothing: time, money, love should be someone's slave. (Bit rich coming from someone who's a slave of Harry Potter ;P)
7.
Never felt that. I used to travel in DTC buses three years ago and still do.
8.
Neither of the three. It is always a problem, for both
9.
Any act of good-intention. We can lie for good intentions too
10.
Probably if I was a woman and had a roundabout mind ;P
consensus: If I thought all this all time, I'd have only two seconds left to live!
Glad you aren't my professor
1.may be coz the thing u r tryin to forget has had a greater effect on u than those which u try to remember.
2.let it out !!!
3.take a random pick .
4. dont claculate the give and takes..jus do as the situation demands..give when u have and take when u need..
5.that the artist is A M.C.P!!!
6.naa...u cant eperience indefinite happiness..coz u wud get bored real soon!!
7.array..be a king of the roads!!
8.this is a difficult one..pass!!!
9.naa...honesty 2 me is sumthing which produces gud results in the end.."gud" as in morally.
10.scary thought.. i cant do that.
1. things which we cant forget breathes in heart..n things we try to remember subsides in mind.
2.live with it
3. abra ka dabra..gilli gilli choo!
4. not calculated yet..
5. woman are gr8 managers
6. no..we cant be monotonically happy
7.rebuild
8.no..there is nothing called desirable n undesirable in love ..in crushes it does..its jst sad..
9.no.. honesty with what i do..(morally good, but how we can define n judge whats moral..infact a killer itself can justify what he did was right.)
10.YES
[bullshee]
a. Good one. And stereotyping sucks, isn't it?
b. And what after that? Can you live with it? It's all too romantic to think of, but really can u kill for smbdy n live with it.
{7/10}
[akshay]
1. Granted. But how do you get it out of your mind?? Why cant we keep in our mind things we want to keep?
2. Tasty one. Also chocolate, long sleep, hot kiss...watever u can get. But what of the residual anger? Let it stay in?
3. I agree with the sticking part. In fact one of my philosophies in life has always been that when it comes to major decisions, i dont make them till I'm 100% sure, and when i do smthng, i stik to it come wat may because when i made it i was sure. It's ok to make mistakes, but i hate to regret.
4. Politically correct answer. But think, practically. Giving more care then you get. Giving more money than u get. Giving more love/trust/effort in a relationship than you get.
Would YOU happily do it? When do you begin accounting? Give more...but how much more?
5. well...
6. so you wouldn;t do anything, not even use time turner??
7. okay, but how about emotional denials and paupering?
8. true.
9. Ah the dubious realm of "intent" again. Good answer though.
10. Lol. :P
Consensus: Well said. Well answered. And yes, i know i think too much. Leave that to me, and you live. :)
{9/10}
[azeem]
1. maybe that is exactly why one is trying to forget it. but how to do it?
2. On whom? Remember it's unjustified anger, and anger does no good to anyone.
3. What if it's wrong? What if a bad choice harms smone else?
4. Right. But ""need" is a dubious word. Often "want" disguises as "need", and u end up being selfish.
5. he he
6. so what would YOU make time do?
7. same as akshay. What of emotional demands, denials, indulgence, paupering?
9. morals...ah...isnt morality an ever changing subjective notion?
What IS good, or bad?
10. hmm
{8.5/10}
[dream catcher]
1. so you listen to the heart in a battle of heart and mind??
2.live with it...but how??? Isnt it stifling.
3. That easy?!
4. hmmm
5. maybe. they r good multi-taskers. but urs was a very politically correct view again.
6. so what would YOU make time do?
7. From scratch? Habits? Isnt demolition painful?
8.sad yes, but true too.
alas.
9.you're right that morality is subjective. Dubious, isnt it?
10.Ah, courageous you! If you mean it, applause.
{9/10}
I guess Im flunking on this test!
:(
1. the human brain is physically incapable of voluntarily forgetting information.
2. find someone willing and yell!
3. pick one and jump right in.
4. take what you need, give what you can
5. you want to go to the moon?
6. sure, why not? but only till i get bored.
7. you get by with what you have, and stop cribbing about what you once had but no longer do
8. loving or being loved is nobody's intention, hence nobody's fault. it definitely is meaningful (how can love be otherwise?), and desirable even if not complete.
9. toughest question. i'd say honesty is revealing just the right amount of information - with strangers very little, with close friends as much as you could, with those in between - just the superficial facts, nothing below the surface. just my opinion, though.
10. if that's what they want.
1. certain things are there for granted while othes are there to stay but some are meant to fly away,far far away..(fear of loss creates unforgetful memories..)
2.well take a clue from 'metro'..go to the roof of the tallest sky-scraper one cud imagine..and scream ur lungs out..
3.this one is tough...hmmm..i'll go with 'akkad bakkad bambe bo'or flip a coin (:d)
4.give with one hand take with the other..quite materialistic..but do we have a choice??
5.Mars is male-infested and dat too big time..!!
6.nah..coz..“Time is like a handful of sand- the tighter you grasp it, the faster it runs through your fingers”
7.u got to be a chameleon..change ur colours accordingly..
8.dere's a old cliche..'pyar us se karo jo tumse pyar kare na ki usse jis se tum pyar karo '..gives u food fr thought..ain't it??
9.nopes..dishonesty is calling it too much..everyone lies..for the purpose of defining 'honesty'..everything which is agreeable to ur conscience..
10.lets leave dis stuff to the k-soaps or the self-obsessesed femme-fatale 'fatal attraction' types..nt many takers in da real world..
P.S.: dis is da first time i came across ur blog..and i guess i've gt to be a regular sooner or later..
Isnt "2 Cents of Wisdom" too little for qualifying the answers to such questions?!
1.because some things affect us more than others (may be in a subtle way yet leaving profound impressions) and at times they may symbolize associations too strong.
2.get a life! There is pretty much nothing you can do, it subsides by itself.
3. you can flip a coin, after all they say for the mightiest, ‘God plays with dice’
But there would be others who would be having an idea, why not seek opinion if you don’t have a clue, try them (provided you have a little trust in em )
4.leave the calculations for the deathbed, give as much you can and most likely you would have a positive balance by the time you die :D
5.2 scenarios :
a. the artist is a guy- idle chit chat, innocent humour
b the artist a women- obsessed with her species
6.no I wont, I want a life
7. I hate roller coasters, if you deserved it you would have it back sooner than later, if you don’t …………..
8. I don’t think so ;)
No, the reasons may be all wrong :D
Yeah, feels good (just don’t get bogged down by the expectations of reciprocation)
9.we all do, or at least manipulate to suit our requirements, I wont call anyone dishonest merely for this reason. Honesty – good intent, consistency with your principle beliefs
10. read the ‘lady or the tiger’ , if it’s a woman’s love may be you can, or so I believe (AB didn’t agree in Dhoom2 though )
I wont
I am sure you have better answers for all of em, so I would wait for the solutions :) Go on going at this pace and your shoulders would refuse to bear the burden of that big head of yours some day :P
[taps]
ah well..it never was easy!
[doc]
1. then invent me a medicine to do that. or invent me a medicine to voluntarily mark files and folders stored in the head as "involuntarily handled".
2. tough one. first is who. second is so unfair on the who. third is what if i feel guilty then..
:(
3. Jumping jumping, but how to pick.
4. Both need and can are dubious deceptive words. And then, when, if at all, to account?
5. oh why not.....earth is fed up of me
6. hmmm...
7. trying to trying to
8. how can love be otherwise?
ah well dont know. the mind doesnt know, at least.
An incomplete joy is desirable?? also since it brings loads of pain to compensate for the void.
And wat of the "loved". his pain is even undignified, dont u think?
9. strange na, then, that while it is easy to say "honesty is the best policy" or i hate dishonest people", we can hardly say what is honesty.
10. hmmm...
good answers though. Thanks
{9/10}
[raghav]
Welcome. Nice to see you here, and thanks for some thought provking stuff.
1. that's true, that fear of loss makes things dearer, and indellible to the mind. but still, not all memories are desirable to keep.
2.maybe. good suggestion though.
3.blind luck then, hmm.
4.perhaps we dont have a choice, but which hand deals more. do we become selfish? do we become foolish? would we stop giving if we stop getting? should we?
5haha
6.but suppose it was ur slave and bowed to ur wishes. Is it worth stopping it?
7.sigh...and then u'd be called unrelaible pretentious and dishonest, if that becomes a habit?
8. upto the believer and perhaps true, yet it is true as well that u cant love for charity, and to be with smone because they love them with all ur heart even though u cant match up to that devotion is at sm level cheating to them. so it is a tricky one. everyone likes being loved, but love needs to be equal. personally, i prefer loving over being loved, but i form the minority here.
9. but how do you judge somebody else on the basis of ur conscience n hoe it feels? wat makes smbdy dishonest in our opinion when we dont know their circumstances n their conscience?
10.hmmm...as u wish.
Thanks again
{8/10}
[sunny]
Maybe. They really are such questions. But they need to be answered somehow
anyway, i guess i am overthinking. :)
Thanks for visiting!
[catalyst]
1.but why do we often want to forget those highly effective influential things? There's that saying na...no memories are eventually good. the good ones are as bad as the bad ones, they tell u what u have lost n cant have again. IS so confusing!
2.that's the thing u can do nthn and u still have to struggle with the undying monster within.
3. Trust...ahhh
Ask...ah ah
Who has time for others' woes in this world?
4.Brilliant answer. Bow.
5.Innocent guy, psychotic girl. Hmm..tells me pretty much the side u r on!
:)
6.Well done again. So you wont curse/fight/fret about Time and its doings ever again?
7. Deserve...there comes yet anohter dubious word. Who knows what it means and signifies; who knows how to find it?
And how to live on the morning after?
8. hehe
Too simple to be accepted.
9.Your intent your beliefs, somebody else's judgement??
10. It's upto u what u took the end of that story as, but still, Ash believed even if AB didnt.
I'm no God that I'd have the right answers to all of them. I have my opinion, like everyone else, and I've my doubts.
But yeah, look at the kind of things I simultaneously over think on.
My mind needs a break, and some sympathy :)
you have more than my sympathies ;)
1. big discussion required. cant type that much :)
3.i have time for everyone, i generally shine is this kinda role :) you are so cynical at times.....sigh
5.psychotic :D thats inserting words in my mouth. i can never say that (aloud)
6. i will, i am too a human dear, but when it comes to making that particular choice.....
7.ok, i meant if you could earn it once so you can twice.
8.i am simple you know :)
9.my answer lady, thats only fair
10. well well
no grades, was my performance so poor :(
[catalyst]
oops forgot.
you got a 9.5/10
:)
And well, I am a lil cynical li'l psychotic etc etc etc
A Little bit of Everything baba
But even u r a bit hypocritical, even if simple, arent you?
Thanks for the sympathies, hoping for a discussion!
Your last question...
I don't know and in all honesty I'd rather never find out.
things we cannot forget are the ones that haunt us, as the word signifies, they will haunt us for a long time to come. It is difficult to forget, because forgetting means undermining yourself.
vent it out and let it wreak havoc, that is what it was meant to do, let it do that.
choose the one that really makes you feel good, no matter how stupid it might be, no matter how much you stand to loose, no matter what it would do to others, choose for yourself.
if you think you are giving too much, don't give just take, and vice versa, soon you will figure out if you are right.
pic on the right signifies that life is unfair, and nothing really matters. people will be people and you are just an insgnificant part of the whole cosmos
yes absolutely, till i get bored of that state
go to a rehab
It is one of those things, which are desirable from far, but are horror shows from close. No one's fault, just make yourself happy, don't think what the other one is going through
all human beings are honest, they are all honest to their set of morals, and morals can be very subjective.
yes, you can love someone enough to kill them
you are good (subject to my strong personal bias ;) )
hypocrite :(
how, why, when, what the hell did i do ?
interesting questions i must say...tempting..
1. chances are what one wants to 'forget' is something u really don't want to forget or shouldn't forget
2. take it out on a punching bag/pillow or sum1 who wud hear u out unconditionally
3. go by your instinct..there is always a gut feeling
4. let things take their own course..equilibrium will be achieved sooner or later
5. a stereotype gone too far or our undying need to laugh at others
6. maybe i would tho i believe i shouldnt...time travel would be appreciated far more
7. sulk, mope around and then get on with it
8. you can't be forced to love
9. honesty is over-rated
10. yes
[prude]
Hope you don;t :)
[zyborg]
1. Totally agree. But what about the things that we like to remember, preserve and retain with us? Why do they decay away anyway, undermining us even more in the process?
2.dangerous!
3. sometimes, it;s tough even to figure out THAT, but it;s a helpful pointer and better than the dice situation
4. maybe, but can not such an experiment do sm irreversible damage, to smone?
5. Nothing really matters :)
Everyone shd become a sanyasi like ya.
8. It;s too hard not to think of the other. Guilt is a good chaser.
9. that's a good reply...saying everything without saying anything, but i suspect thats the closest to truth.
{10/10}
because all the answers you've given are perfectly all right for you, and it's a great thing to find one's own answers to questions like these. You do it perfectly all the time, and people like me shd start finding their own answers too.
[catalyst]
Ah just the normal human behaviour (Human beings are born hypocrites) of contradicting one self as per convenience.
nothing to worry :)
[pooja]
1. should is another very dubious word, and conflicting wants...eeks..
3. good option, and one i always do. Ecxcept sometimes there is too much clutter in the head to hear the inner voice clear.
4. Na na...itna inactive nahi ho sakte...selfishness is too comfortable.
6. and time travel to where?
7. how long?
8. true, but the baggage is hugee.
9. like most other things, yet it remains one of the most universal criteria or judging and accepting other people.
10. brave.
1. Bcoz in process of forgeting something, we keep on remembering it that we have to forget it.
2. Sleep and forget it...
3.Just do, what heart prompts..
4.Give more than take..Bcoz its the universal truth, what you give and how much you give all came back to you..
5.The world still underestimate women..
6. hmm, may be for sometimes but then life is the game of keep going...
8. dont know..
9. Sometimes lies are better than the truth...and honesty has different meaning with situation and to person.
10. Love is not for killing..it is for loving and forgiving..
I'll try answering a few, lemme see what marks I get :)
4. Defintely take more than give. I am selfish :)
5. Either that women are fit only for cleaning or that men havent dirtied the moon sufficiently enough
6.I would stop time as soon as I get a chance, irrespective of whether I am happy or not
7.Will try to stike a balance between self-denial and greediness, ofcourse easier said than done...I'll probably end up pracisting more self-denial,then again be pulled out by abundance and then again brought to paupership...vicious circle
9. If you are lying, you are probably dishonest to some degree. Ofcourse one can be dishonest even without lying.
10. NO WAY!, unless I was a pyscho, which hopefully am not.
thanks for putting up the info!
ok dont tell, your wish :)
but must have been something you really took exception at.
but thanks anyway for giving me decent grades.
can u love someone enough to kill them?
yes-in two cases-one where you are a maniac and the other where there life is worse than death and would remain that way and they choose death.
would you call someone who lies a dishonest person?
no-only when the reason for lying can be justified.
Is "being loved when you don't love" somebody's fault? Is it something meaningful or complete in itself? Is it desirable?
it is no one's fault . it isnt complete because the stage that would proceed is falling in love with the person who loves you truly. yes it is desirable but only in certain cases ;)
What do you do when you're pulled out of self-denial by abundance, then suddenly brought to paupership again, and by now your habits have been terribly spoiled?
well i blame myself and god!
If time were your slave, would you stop it when you were happy?
YES.
What does the pic on right signify?
one of those conversations?!
Give more than take. although where im incapable of it-i take more, in a "have to" kind of manner ;)
Even not making a choice is a choice, and it's often the wrong one. Still, what to choose when you don't know anything about which choice is right, and can't wait indefinitely?
keep waiting still hoping that what is is better than what will be?
What do you do with suppressed, unjustified, unexpressed, yet undying anger?
kill yourself with it or blame yourself for storing it.
Why is it more difficult to "forget" some things than it is to remember a lot others?
who says so? I have forgotten more than u'll ever remember ;)
phoenix is back!!
Why is it more difficult to
"forget" some things than it is
to remember a lot others?
:) coz in the name of forgetting
u cant but remember it more.What do you do with suppressed,
unjustified, unexpressed, yet undying anger?
you only get stronger on your
stand,in an unusual.unjustified
way
Even not making a choice is a
choice, and it's often the wrong
one. Still, what to choose when
you don't know anything about
which choice is right, and can't
wait indefinitely?
pheww! just take a break! ;)
In an ideal world, one would say
"give as much as you take, and
take as much as you give" and be
entirely capable of doing that.
In the real world though, what do
you do? Take more than give, or
give more than take?
return to yourself!
If time were your slave, would
you stop it when you were happy?
am not thinking when am happy! :P
What do you do when you're pulled
out of self-denial by abundance,
then suddenly brought to paupership again, and by now your habits have been terribly spoiled?
sob sob hehehehhe
Is "being loved when you don't
love" somebody's fault? Is it
something meaningful or complete
in itself? Is it desirable?
it is complete in itself.Love for
love was never a law anyway..:)
Would you call anybody who lies
as a dishonest person? What's
your definition of honesty?
not all liers are dishonest,neither are all truthful ppl honest..hmm..dont know really..eh.
Can you love somebody enough to
kill them?
yes..all is fair in love and war
:P when love is extreme why
should death be a limit? heyy but
this doesn mean i go around
killin ppl i love..hehe..
fun questions! keep questioning
if not for answers then just for
the sake of questions.Manier times it worth more than answers.
[pooja]

[shruti]
1. seems like our mind wants to do just what 'we' dont :)
2.Undying anger alas...takes a lot of time to heal.
3.So in the mind vs heart battles, u choose heart?
4.That's a contradiction isnt it, if u believe in the latter for actually u give as much as u take n not more or less, and u give only so u can get it back...does that defeat the meaning of giving?
7th and 8th are toughies, but in 9th u capture the same thing i was trying to reflect on...subjectivity of every concept that we ever take as given in our head. The meaning of honesty and all this doesn tgo with the conventional definitions of honesty truth pretence etc we quickly judge people by.
10. Different, related question. If someone u loved a LOT were terminally ill n wished to be die, wd u euthanise him/her?
{8/10}
[ab]
Long time no see.
4. Fair enough :)
5. Sad generalisations arent they? :)
6.That means u r scared of growing older?
7.Vicious unending circle it sounds...also hints perhaps that one's will power, adjustability, self-dependence is at an all time low.
Sad.
9. so where does honesty come in? and to what 'degree' is dishonesty okay?
{7.5/10}
[medury]
sorry for the delay
[catalyst]
To be discussed later.
[poison coated elixir]
can u love someone enough to kill them?
well answered.
and justified/justifiable to him. Does ur right/wrong match with the other person's ? What if the Liar's Right is the Lied-To's Wrong? Who's honest?
So you mean to say fallin in love with the person who loves u will necessarily follow? What abt loving the person you love?
And then again, does "certain cases" refer to the instances where u r the beneficiary of the love, care and attention?
Cursing would get u nthn.
Give more than take. okay.
but "have-to" is a self-justification more than anything, dont u think? Think objectively.
that's equivalent to not choosing, and it;s disastrous more often than not.
Why so much blame game dear?
then u r lucky. But i doubt it.
{7/10}
[neha]
Absolutely, full form
:P
[purple deepens]
1.Then nothing voluntary happens with the mind?
2. Unjustified yet again. Is there no respite.
3. All about yourself!Self-centred purview of the world cant be realistic, and to shun and abhor is impractical.
So you are thinking when u r sad.
//it is complete in itself.
Romantic view of life?
Fun questions fun answers, but tricky still. And tough to make up ur mind on them, esp when u r trying simultaneously for all answers
5. Well yeah a bit sad w.r.t the women maybe. Kinda true with the men i guess :)
6.Well,yeah, I am a bit :)...but that's not exactly what I meant...whether happy or sad, I atleast know what I am at the point when I freeze time...kind of avoiding the transient nature of life and not having to think about what lies ahead
9. Depends on whom one is being dishonest to...if say it's a close friend or a loved one, he/she'll probably feel more hurt, then again some people would feel more hurt than the others...so the degree upto which it's ok to be dishonest kind of varies from person to person and from relationship to relationship.
Defining honesty, that's a tough one.....but I would say it's being open,frank and telling the truth as it is( which is IMO,different from not lying)
1. It more difficult to "forget" some things than it is to remember a lot others because (No, I am not a school-goer) somehow those things have left a greater imprint (without conscious attempt) on your mind. If we assume that the mind is a stack of memories, arranged in order of a complex combination of impact and recency of occurrence, such things will be on the top and the things at the bottom will become extremely hard to extract (imagine taking a plate from the bottom of a huge pile of plates). More so, the effort you put in forgetting them, which at each instance means a recall, will place it high on the stack!
2. Try and see the other point of view and reason yourself out. If that’s too tough, try cutting yourself off or blast everyone on the way hoping that you are important enough in the lives of people you care for for them to forgive you for such a state.
3. Make the most informed decision given your circumstances at the point, have faith in your judgement and take the plunge.
4. No matter how idealistic you are/ aim to be, you always expect more from others than what you give them yourself. It’s a subconscious fact, you may try to consciously get rid of such a feeling but the bottomline is, you do have to invoke reason for that. However, that is precisely why god has given us minds. So as to attempt to restore the balance inside our selves in case one of the sides becomes too dominating.
5. Women set everything right ;)
6. hmmm… Probably not. Somehow, recalling the happy times gives me more pleasure than what I might have felt while I was in that moment.
7. Very tough.. Mope around I guess :)
8. Absolutely undesirable. The person who loves feels neglected and pathologically weak at continuing such a thing and the person who is loved feels guilty at ‘taking too much and not giving anything back in return’.
9. Honesty is knowing what you are doing is for the good, even if that involves lying.
10. Too tough to answer.. Can’t draw from experience and neither can envision myself in such a situation. Movies and news reports seem to suggest such things’ existence, so yes, if answered objectively, but matters of the heart are far from objective.
[sorry for such long answers, but I guess you have no reason but to bear them :)]
ok
ps- your tone is intimidating and i get scared easy. do chocolates calm you down?
[ab]
5. Such blatant bias against the poor, lesser men!
6. :) But that's worse in a way, isnt it? Being scared of change you are. Life can't be a stalemate!
9. "Depends" the word again! :)
Strengthens my take once more
Between hiding truth and telling a lie, which one's honest/dishonest/more of the two?
[catalyst]
hmm...sure they do
Lovvve chocs....pastries/icecream/good conversations/loads of PJs etc work too, mostly
:D
me too :)
ps- the courier man is refusing to deliver the choclates i bought for you saying 'To Dear Phoenix' aint enough for him to make it reach you.

Good answers. Thanks. :-)
1. Phew..mind would be more comfortable if it were an array. Referencing, recovery, deletion etc would be so much simpler, given that physical space is always the same anyway. Stack business is tricky!
2. Hope....ask for understanding and support...all this is easier said than done when such painful anger has infected you. Still, optimistic view. Nice :)
3. That's okay for the general scenario, but where information is missing and/or scarce, and decision necessary, it is tricky.
4. Very well put indeed. Good way of thinking that that's what the silly mind is there for in the first place...mmm...from wat u say, man is inherently by default selfish and u need external forces to make it work for any good of the society.
5. And women also begin most of the things that go wrong, or cause to. Like all the wars that were fought. So let's say, all the 'action' in this world is because of women??
:P
6. But then again, memories are prone to decay and getting lost in the huge stack. Would stopping time not save them fresh?
7. :)
8.Too much pain for everyone, let beautiful at one level in a dark sort of a way. Where in the midst of all is the meaning? How ok is the guilt? Is there any degree of completeness watsoever?
9. Dubious yet again
10. Not objective definitely. :)

the liar should be able to justify the lie, doesnt matter wat i consider write or wrong. the lie is justified when the justification matches his mind frame!
well why should love be suffocated with the number of people we fall in love with.love and lust can exist simultaneoulsy in limited cases-thats true, but love alone can exist independently too. the difference between loving our parents, friends, family and our lover is in the fact that on one side its love alone, while on the other its love+lust! so yeah we can fall in love with the person who "truly" loves us. and then again we all have our parameteres to decide what "truly" means to each of us.
cursing gets us nothing, but its inevitable!
sometimes "have-to" can be justified, as is the case with our parents(the sense in which i meant it), u can give more love and take less, but in terms of material things-till the time ur a non-earning member of the family u will definitely continue to take more than u can give them. and hence the justification!
forgetting takes a lot of effort, and being able to forget more than wat other people will ever know/remember is not qualification for being lucky ;)
anyways, hope i made sense to u!
5. Nah,no bias there! I am a guy myself :)
9. "Depends" again maybe :P
Hiding a truth, well yeah it depends on what the situation is, but it probably requires more tactfulness to hide a truth without telling a lie, very often telling a lie is a byproduct of not being smart enough to hide the truth, so in that sense hiding the truth is probably the more dishonest of the two.
Which do you think is more dishonest?

too much subjectivity in there, but lookaing at it with your point of view, would accept that.
which is to say we can feel lust (+attachment maybe) with the one who "truly" loves us (watever that may mean to each one) and simultaneously have "true" love for somebody else?? Sure we love a lot of people at one time....frnds family et al...and coz of that i've often felt and said that love is one of the most inadequate words in that it's just one word to represent so many different things.
in a way you are right, and then again the factors for converting "forms" of things from one to another (material to emotional, support to help etc) so they may be equated or compared are too ambiguous to give this point a view a more objective rendering.
in any case it is a special talent, and can help ppl live with or do away with a lot of pain

5. That doesnt matter much. My prejudices towards or against women are all over this page too ;)
6. Really tricky one for me to explain too, for i trust intuitive judgement in such cases which is often correct, but still since u ask, i take liars as more dishonest than those who hide, because very often, and particularly with people close to us where a lot of trust is invested, lies are accepted as truth at the time of telling, and when later it's known to be a lie, serves to shake that holy trust much more than smthng not said for the sake of sm justification that existed at the point, IMO.
42!
