    • Eye Twitching Episodes
      • Dry eyes, stress, fatigue, eye strain, and certain medications can contribute to an episode.
      • Chlorine and other chemicals used to keep pool water clean can wash away the moist layer of tear film, leaving eyes uncomfortable and red. People who swim frequently may develop dry eye, where they don’t produce enough tears or the right quality of tears.

        • Splash your closed eyes with fresh water immediately after swimming. This washes chlorine and other chemicals off your eyelids and eyelashes.
        • Use over-the-counter lubricating eye drops before and after swimming to keep the tear film balanced and eyes comfortable.

        • 1982–1991: Decline and collapse
    • Somewhere on the Internet -
      It all starts with parents. Children who grow up in unreasonably strict environments grow up to fear teachers and see school and exams as punishments. They grow up to become timid, shy, reserved and scared teenagers. They continue the same attitude into adulthood and see their bosses as gods and do what they are told to do and never stand up for themselves. All these factors lead to failure in professional and personal lives of such individuals. I’m a prime example of this and the above is my own story. At 40, I am now becoming more assertive and am re-inventing myself in every aspect.
      To all parents : PLEASE DO NOT FORCE YOUR CHILDREN TO DO ANYTHING AND STOP COMPARING YOUR KID WITH OTHER KIDS.
    • The Corporate Game
      • 1 Ensure visibility and credit
      • 2 Be in limelight
      • 3 Compete wherever possible
      • 4 Don’t be nice and simple, be deplomatic
      • 5 Be close to your manager
    • Everyone has equal time to spend. If someone is having a good time, you can too. Everyone, how rich or privileged, has same amount of time as you (assuming equal lifetime). You wasting any of that time on sulking or feeling sad/jealous is your loss of time - the other person is already having a good time, and you are deliberately losing (time).

Whereas, once your engine gets heated up, the oil changes its viscosity to the x grade. The higher the grade the more viscous oil will be.

    • Sadhguru - fake spiritual guru
    • Sadhguru on Ram and Sita
      • He asks what kind of man do you want in your life? The man walked all the way, fought a battle, burned down a city to get back his wife
        • Yes, he fought, waged a battle, but I don’t think it was purely for his wife, it was for himself too, for his pride. Raavan kidnapped Sita to hurt Ram, women in those ages (even today) were a prized possession.
        • He put his duty towards his people before his duty towards his wife. If the counterargument is - he fought a battle to save his wife, so no ^
        • That was the norm back then - a very cruel patriarchy society. He did best out of these norms. You judge by the norms of the society, say we lived in a world where you are praised for how many people you kill, a peaceful person would be a very bad example in the society. Society wants examples of characteristics they want to inculcate and history remembers people who are great examples.
          • Currently our society is divided into extreme patriarchs (disguised under the name of religion) and extreme feminists.

    • Reacting on Random videos - feminism
      • World works on capitalism and not on values like equality - hence there is no equal pay. What brings in more money gets more money, eg: female models get higher paychecks than their male counterparts because fashion industry is more female oriented
      • If you are conservative and traditional than most, and you have standards for your man, what is it that you have to offer? just yourself? isnt that being entitlement?
      • Most guys are invisible to most woman, guys are socially weird because they dont get female attention. Guys dont get laid that often and hence they chase it more.
