People use Flattery and Manipulation to get what they want.
This is something I just do not do. It is manipulative. I do see it happen in life though.
Flattery and Manipulation
Let’s say there is a woman who wants a man, but he is involved or some such thing. She will look for “problems” and study the man closely. Look for his needs and then “create” herself to fit the bill. or she will show her wounds of past and will try to gain his sympathy and trust.
She will play these weaknesses and then pull out all stops by stroking his ego.
He falls for it..hard. Oh my, what a buffoon. I cannot respect men who fall prey for that type of game. It does not show me a dominant or more importantly a person who does not have confidence in himself.
So, if this happens to you, then you did not have a quality man to begin with..so no big loss.
Work Situation.
A woman is successful at her job and generally well liked, but there will always be people who are jealous of her success. Perhaps, they are not competant at their own jobs, or they just jealous people who possess a vicisous natures.
So, in order to undermine the successful person they start a pernicious gossip, trying to ally various others to going against her. Some sadly will jump on the bandwagon and start to subtely rally against her. Sometimes, some manipulations are brought up the boss. If she or he is a weak character, he or she will fall prey.
Basically, what you have going on is bad office politics.
Can you see how vile this is all? When people are jealous of what others have instead of working hard to attain something for themselves, they have to take it from others in means necessary.
Keep yourself clear of this bullshit, do not attack them, but wait for the right time to make your kill of exposing them.
Pick your battles.
You know, truth does have a way of coming out evening, keep doing behaviour that has integrity and get out situations that are potentially damaging.
Let them sink themselves.
Yes, and I do sound judgemental. So what!
I mean we become people who turn a blind eye towards bad behaviour and never call them on it. Too bad that some never feel guilt or shame for their wrong doing..perhaps that is why they keep doing it..nothing clicks on in their conscience.
Not sure how they sleep at night and how they can look at themselves. Trust me, when you shine the mirror on them, they are going to hate you.
Such is the price of truth when dealing with people of that ilk.
Steps off my soapbox…enjoys my cup of TajMahal Tea!

Obviously, the news agencies like IBN7 and others whole round the world enjoy such illusions to make money. (here)
After all, it is a sizzling news, there’s a Mysterious woman (may be girl) on Mars.
But Mars is supposed to be the planet of men I guess.
The woman is supposed to come from Venus.
May be the aeronautic space travelers of NASA were feeling HOT which caused them to imagine a woman on mars.
The pictures are vague, how can they be so sure of that image to be woman? Are her genitals visible? What if that creature is Unisexual developing through asexual process?
How can one be so sure about it?
Anyways, they say that our lovely Earth, this sweet greenish bluish planet is not unique, and there is a mysterious woman on mars too.
So who’s the man on earth willing to procreate with a woman of Mars?
Sleeping with a Mars beauty lol, isn’t it sounding SEXY?
May be the woman is actually, from Venus, and she went to mars to meet some of her lover?
Or, may be she was some sort of Venus whore who went to Mars to gain some pennies.
Ehh! We didn’t have any picture of Man from Mars.
Yet, the picture shows that Mars do have spankilluscious Mysterious Girl out there.
Ohh my sweet earth, You aren’t the only holder of Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and water.
Even Mars have some carbon dioxide clouds there, so from where they came, were they result of combustion?
Does that mysterious girl of Mars know about fire? She must be eating something, isn’t it, some other forms of life? Is she omnivorous, or carnivorous or herbivorous?
We never got any plant or tree or other animal’s picture from Mars, so how come this alien mysterious girl came in picture?
A while ago, people were not sure of water and microbes at Mars, and now these pictures are showing a Mysterious Girl on Mars.
I am sure many guys might be feeling their pants itching there while imagining about that mysterious girl.
How nice it would be for some handsome dashing guy from Earth to visit Mars and propose that naked roaming Mars beauty queen? Sure it is romantic, isn’t it?
And some years ago, people have decided to buy plots at Moon too. That is different thing that even on earth, there’s no property rights in India.
Despite of all possibilities of alien life on other planets and outside solar system, such rumors are just sizzling rumors, ridiculous commercial news and nothing else.
As for me, it is nothing but the Pareidolia effect. (Here)
Pareidolia is an effect of the reality that our brains mostly work via pattern recognition – making relations among diverse ideas, memories, or images. We are very good at visual pattern recognition, even better than the most sophisticated and modern supercomputers.
And the most familiar and common pattern for us, is the human face. We keep trying to search for similarities between various objects and human faces. Even infants prefer to seek human faces over other stimuli. A large portion of our visual cortex is meant to see, store and remember faces. It may be due to evolutionary pressures to gain ability to instantly recognize and differentiate a friend from an enemy, also to be able to read slight facial expressions indicating emotions of other person. For this reason we naturally incline to see faces in everything. Most of us have imagined of some old woman sewing cotton on moon in our childhood isn’t it?
Many guys seer’s their Darling’s face on moon.
Even many majnu talks with moon and ask if there’s anyone else as beautiful as their own sweetheart.
So it is common process. We even try to give human faces and action to the great constellations of skies.
So perhaps NASA astronomers might not have been stunned when they saw that woman like figure on Mars. It is hard to come out of the grips of pareidolia. Many times we imagine ghosts on trees, in dark nights and keep fearing about them. It is all psychological effect of our very own natural habit of looking for human faces as references in every object. In past too, NASA astronomers have found such images causing pareidoliac effects. There had been found some pictures of faces on Mars in past too. And recently on 14th of January, the Messenger spacecraft shot some pictures of Homer Simpson’s Mug were found on Mercury.
This mysterious woman on Mars is a classic example of pareidolia!

The Story Of Socrates . . .
One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance. The acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, “Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?”
“Wait a moment,” Socrates replied. “Before you tell me I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the ‘Triple Filter Test’.”
“Triple filter?”
“That’s right,” Socrates continued. “Before you talk to me about my student, let’s take a moment to filter what you’re going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to say to me is true?”
“No,” the man said, “actually I just heard about it and…”
“All right,” said Socrates. “So you don’t really know if it’s true or not. Now let’s try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?”
“No, on the contrary…”
“So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about him, even though you’re not certain it’s true?”
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.
Socrates then continued,
“You may still pass the test, though, because there is a third filter — the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?”
“No, not really…”
“Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?”
The man walked away defeated and ashamed.
This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.
It also explains why he never found out that Plato was using his wife. LoL

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the
Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red
vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy
lives.
Then using God’s great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream and
Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, “You want chocolate with that?”
And Man said, “Yes!” and Woman said, “and as long as you’re at it, add
some sprinkles.” And they gained 10 killos. And Satan smiled.
And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that
Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat,
and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to
size 14.
So God said, “Try my fresh green salad.”
And Satan presented
Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side.
And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.
God then said, “I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in
which to cook them.” And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and
chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained more
weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.
God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it “Angel Food Cake,”
and said, “It is good.” Satan then created chocolate cake and named it
“Devil’s Food.”
God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those
extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would
not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and
cried before the flickering blue light and gained killos.
Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with
nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy
center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained killos.
God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still
satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald’s and its 99-cent double
cheeseburger. Then said, “You want fries with that?” And Man replied,
“Yes! And super size them!” And Satan said, “It is good.” And Man went
into cardiac arrest.
God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.
Then Satan created HMOs.
And now, they are working in India :O

If a man cuts his finger off while slicing salami at work,
he blames the restaurant.
If you smoke three packs a day for 50 years and die of lung cancer,
Your family blames the tobacco company.
If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk,
he blames the bartender.
If your children are brats without manners,
You blame television.
If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.
And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead,
the mother of the crazed deceased blames the airline.
I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore.
So, if I die heart-break-attack in front of this computer,
I want all of you to blame Bill Gates, ya hear???
