Often, in movies which are not made to stroke the male lead's ego, the villain's motivation are often varied and layered. Sometimes, a villain is a person who has taken to crime or evil to save the one they think matter to them the most (for example, Mr. Freeze in Batman) or for the 'greater good' of their people. <\/p>
Here's the thing though, is the greater good of someone a good enough reason to trample over someone else. Is it really important to achieve results that you go as far as to crush everyone else under your heel? <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1505911451510","data":"59c264a51c44d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1505911453177","data":"
This is why so many stories are obsessed with the 'means and ends' trope. Stories usually present to us a question of morality using bits and pieces of protagonists, antagonists and storytelling to get the point across. An antagonist is just trying to save his daughter, but in doing so, he has killed thousands of daughters himself. Would that excuse him from all the horrible things he has done? <\/p>
Similarly, it is important for us to recognise that our own actions can often mirror the choices a fictional character makes. Sure, you can tell yourself that you're doing something for the greater good, but the choice you make might harm someone. <\/p>
The great good argument fails simply because why do you get to decide who benefits from the greater good. The persons you've been busy trampling can also be a part of that greater good, so why aren't they? Just because you willed it so? Who made you god? <\/p>
This is why I love comic books and stories so much. I highly recommend people read The Watchmen. <\/p>"}]

I remember, just about ten days before on Sept 11, Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji has addressed a students convention and has started off his speech by a critical sentence \"I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religious and all nations of the earth.<\/b>\"<\/b><\/p>
But unfortunately, that was not reflected in the government's affidavit on the Rohingya refugees presented to the Supreme court on Monday. <\/b>Instead, it views them as \u201ca very serious threat and potential threat to national security\u201d<\/b>. It claims \u201cmany of the Rohingyas figure in the suspected sinister designs of ISI\/ISIS and other extremist groups\u201d<\/b>. It accuses them of \u201cmobilization of funds through hundi\/hawala channels\u201d<\/b>. Finally, it adds there\u2019s a \u201cserious potential and possibility\u201d<\/b> of Rohingya violence against Buddhists in India.<\/p>
Yet these are all simply broad and generalised assertions. So far the government has not submitted any evidence to support them. In fact, there\u2019s good reason to disregard or even dismiss these fears.<\/p>
Firstly, it\u2019s true that the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army<\/b> has connections with Hafiz Saeed and al-Qaeda, but it doesn't mean that all Rohingyas are terrorists. For suppose, the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed and now, perhaps, al-Qaeda and the Islamic State conduct operations in Kashmir and many have links with them, this argument should lead to the government viewing all Kashmiris as terrorists! Then why it is not happening?<\/p>
Second, the claim that the Rohingya are carrying out hawala transactions is nothing but rubbish. If they had the money for hawala transactions they would surely spend it on improving their miserable lives. You only have to look at the conditions in which they live to realise how unlikely is this charge.<\/p>
Third, the claim that the Rohingya will indulge in violence against Buddhists in India is simply bizarre. You could just as well say that Hindu refugees fleeing Pakistan and Bangladesh could be a threat to Indian Muslims.<\/p>
I think, the government is just dredging up whatever fear it can to demonise the Rohingya in the eyes of the Supreme Court.<\/p>
As per a senior journalist, \"<\/b>The government\u2019s affidavit is clearly an attempt to get around India\u2019s international law commitments and its own constitutional provisions, both of which require the grant of sanctuary to the Rohingya. That now depends on whether the Supreme Court is intimidated by the government\u2019s lengthy affidavit or has the strength to stand up for the principles of our Constitution and international law.\"<\/b><\/p>
No doubt India is not a signatory to the 1951 UN Convention on Refugees or its 1967 Protocol, but we are still bound by the many conventions on human rights we have signed. These include the UN principle of non-refoulement, which explicitly forbids the forcible return of refugees. More importantly, the Supreme Court has ruled that the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 applies to all people in India, irrespective of citizenship which includes the Rohingya refugees also.<\/b><\/p>
I think the Govt must overlook at every aspect before taking any decisions and now it's the Supreme court's decision whether to allow Rohingyas refugees to stay in our country or not... <\/p>

Watermelon<\/b> (Citrullus<\/i> <\/i>lanatus<\/i> var. lanatus<\/i>) is a scrambling, <\/a>trailing Vine in the flowering <\/a>plant family Cucurbitaceae.

Since the moment I've begun grasping moments, throughout my childhood, teenage span, and my maturity stage, I have been constantly reminded of our country's major steps towards development. Now, I am 21, yes it has undergone a massive level of change and development from yesterday. And in today's world, Women empowerment has become the buzzword today with women working alongside men in all spheres. <\/p>
But do we actually realize that there are many who still have struggled with the education of a girl child? The only question I would raise for them is \u201c WHY TO LOOK FOR A LADY DOCTOR FOR YOUR DAUGHTER OR YOUR WIFE WHEN YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM ONE?\u201dJust a raise of voice or an argument for women rights, and BOOM! Uts took as a direct offence against men. Then my question would be \u201cWHY DO U REFUSE TO MARRY A DUMB GIRL?\u201d<\/p>
There are many people still in process & hopes of owning a Tv set, Sofa, Fridge etc. Why? Because they are awaiting their son to grow old and get married. So they can indulge in the festive of receiving dowry. So this is how we're literates hah? Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder and chief executive of Facebook, announced that he and his wife would give 99 percent of their Facebook shares, currently worth more than $45 billion \u2014 to charitable purposes.<\/p>
The pledge was made in an open letter to their new-born daughter, Max, who is born only recently, and here, Dowry deprives a father of luxury clothes in his very own daughter's wedding! A very different culture our country has- though the gaze of men ain't in control, a lady is asked to wear ghunghat (veil). For a time let us forget about all the sisters and daughters, some people have the tendency to even forget their mothers for their selfishness. Not even mentioning the all-known facts on the sacrifices of a mother. <\/p>
I would not mind telling this to those who don\u2019t even care about the meaning of a MOTHER, one day after everyone is done with the dinner try searching food for yourself in the kitchen, there my friend, u will understand what a mother is!<\/p>
Let us try changing this culture of women and make every son, every father to accept a baby girl in their lives with a smile.WOMEN ARE FOOLISH THAT THEY THINK THEY ARE EQUAL TO MEN BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN FAR SUPERIOR To MEN AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN. <\/p>"}]
Researchers have discovered how to be happier, and it's not what you think.\"Choose to be happy\" isnt just a cliche; its a scientific conclusion.People with the freedom to change careers, start a business or live their dreams are happier than people who feel stuck, researchers discovered.<\/p>
Money relates to happiness only as far as it influences a person's freedom to make choices, the researchers found.In other words, money is indirectly tied to happiness through the lens of your 'freedom to choose.'<\/p>
\"While wealth can provide you with more choices, it's really having the ability to realize your dreams that leads to greater happiness,\" <\/p>
the people with freedom to choose report higher levels of happiness, even if they never act on that freedom.The actual act of changing careers, starting a large family, moving to a new city, launching a business or traveling the world is irrelevant. What matters is having the freedom to do so. (I call this the freedom to 'afford anything' you choose.)Money can provide you with more choices, but only if you keep your bills low.It's not the balance in a person's bank account that makes them happy; it's the 'spread' between their bank balance and their bills. If there's a wide spread, people have more flexibility, more options. If there's a narrow spread, people perceive themselves as stuck, and their happiness levels plummet.<\/p>
If you get a raise but you embrace a bigger mortgage or a new car payment, your 'spread' never changes and you aren't any happier.If you get a raise but your spending habits stay the same, your 'spread' increases and - with it - so does your freedom and happiness.<\/p>
The bottom line? Happiness relates to your ability to self-govern your own life, even if your day-to-day actions stay the same.<\/p>"}]

The idea that I want to share this morning is to travel more and buy less. <\/p>
In this buzzy world, most of the us are running and probing the opportunities to grab money, in the mean while they are losing the thing called purpose of life. Yes, indeed we need money to survive but what\u2019s actually happening is we are surviving to earn the money. That actually shouldn\u2019t happen. Very few people travel and experience the new aroma of the world. Not only money the world of coin has other face too. The purpose of life is to explore and learn. The very basic things for people not to travel is WORK, MONEY, and FEAR. <\/p>
As they are bounded to their works they do never travel. When the idea of travelling comes, one thought pops their mind, \u201chow can we leave everything behind and travel as we are so busy\u201d. They consider themselves as busy bugs. We don\u2019t take vacations. That\u2019s where the actual problem comes. The reason for stress outs is we don\u2019t go out and don not enrich experiences. having vacations and enhancing experiences will lead your life to have epic awesomeness to mind, to your body and to your soul.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1505444795447","data":"59bb443dc6db3"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1505444831743","data":"
Yes, now let\u2019s briefly talk about the reasons why we don\u2019t travel. The very first reason is WORK. We are in a nation of workaholics. From child hood to school, school to college, college to build our career and then to have family and at the end we stay there to accrue wealth. This the lifecycle normally everyone follows. In the present world we live, making money, and having things with that is given much more importance than enriching experiences. western countries have introduced a policy of gap year. A gap year is a 6 months\u2019 vacation which we have to take after high school or after college when we are supposed to build our career. That vacation will lead you to have a positive and strong life.<\/p>
And the second reason in FEAR. We are feared to travel to different countries. The reasons may be the culture over there, terrorism and trust me there are also reason like\u201d there diseases spread more\u201d. People always mug up their reasons to stay back. <\/p>
And the third and mostly used reason is MONEY. We don\u2019t have money to travel. We don\u2019t have money because we spend it all on buying stuff. In olden days on an average a human has around 10 to 12 outfits but now they own a total wardrobe. This will never give you happiness instead it takes your money and space.<\/p>
Travel is an ultimate truth teller. It gives you time to understand yourself and gives the strength to overcome problems and lead you to an optimistic life. We can lead a generation with our values, our ideas, and our experiences. TRAVEL now. If you are YOUNG that means GO. This the age where we can have energy and time to travel and explore. This the extraordinary time to be a traveller. There is no judgement and no competition in level of epic and in length of time. It\u2019s not about checking things in your closet, it\u2019s all about having experiences and enriching life. <\/p>"}]
Embrace each and every breathe that you are taking...<\/p>
Look around you and look inside you, how many people do you think settling ? <\/p>
I will tell you, a hell of lot many people...<\/p>
people are settling into okay type relationships, okay kind of jobs and an okay life.<\/p>
and do you why ?<\/p>
because okay is comfortable..<\/p>
okay pays the bills and gives a warm bed at night and allows one to go out with co-mates on a weekend to enjoy a happy hour.<\/p>
but do you know what okay is not ?<\/p>
okay is not thrilling, <\/p>
it is not passion,<\/p>
it is not the reason you get up everyday,<\/p>
it is not life changing or unforgettable,<\/p>
it is not memorable,<\/p>
okay is not the reason you go bed late and wake up early,<\/p>
it is not the reason you risk absolutely amazing...<\/p>
think of it ! dream big... aim high... <\/p>
never forget your worth or how much you deserve. Don't settle for anything less than wonderful because you deserve so much more.<\/p>

Psychologists actually managed to find a link between the taste in music and the kind of person you are, and it does solidify my belief that people who listen to the kind of music I listen to are just as crazy as I am. <\/p>
Now, I'm into Jazz, Indian classical music, heavy metal, rock and the occasional soft pop. I know, the genres are extremely varied but apparently that is a good sign, it says that my brain is healthy and more open to ideas, more accepting of people and different cultures. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1505822110246","data":"59c107558e2ce"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1505822112024","data":"
Apparently, people who listen to more complex kinds of music are more unconventional, which directly means that the complexity in the music they listen to lends to the complexity of the person they are. This is turning out to be quite an ego stroke for myself but that's just what psychology says, ladies and gentlemen, I can't help it. <\/p>
While there's nothing wrong with the simple things in life, those who prefer electronic music and pop are less complicated and more conventional than the rest, which is weird considering the kinds of people making these kinds of music are themselves very unconventional (Lady Gaga, I'm looking at you.)<\/p>
I won't like, Lady Gaga is sort of a guilty pleasure for me, I really enjoy her music and think she has a great vocal range, but the fact remains that her music finds more patronage amongst the simpler members of our society. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1505822319968","data":"59c10740623ea"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1505822321787","data":"

Nobody really talks about the sexual exploitation of children by adults in our society, even though it is omnipresent and literally all around us, just hiding beneath the surface. In fact, a report published in the Hindustan Times earlier this year in May revealed the shocking figure that at least 1 in 2 children have been sexually exploited at least once, which means every second person who reads this article has faced sexual abuse when they were children. Despite such major prevalence of child abuse, there is a deafening silence about the issue, which should tell you that our prudishness about sex and the repression that comes with it has really harmful affects on the same kind of children the prudes claim to defend by the very same repression. You can read the report by clicking here.<\/a><\/p>Now, there are various reasons why child sexual abuse is so prevalent, the easiest of them being the highly repressive nature of our society and the fact that children are easy targets for power abusers (this includes teachers who think just because a child is defenceless, it is okay to beat them), which in turn leads to a cycle of abuse. <\/p>But Nobel Peace Prize recipient and all around amazing person Kailash Satyarthi wants to put an end to this. Starting from Kanyakumari, Satyarthi is on a cross India journey through the states all the way to New Delhi to raise awareness about Child sexual abuse. <\/p>Kailash Satyarthi has dedicated his life to child rights, fighting for those whom politicians only use as a prop and ignore because they have no voting rights. His contributions to child rights and his work in the field has earned him a well deserved Nobel Peace Prize, which he shared along with Pakistani education for girls activist Malala Yousafzai. <\/p>On September 21st, he is going to be in Hyderabad, for an event for which you can show up to show support.
