Scott, your discussion reminded me of the recent show Cosmic Collisions I saw at the Museum of Natural History in New York! The big climax at the end was the collision of two galaxies, leading to the creation of many new smaller galaxies. The worlds of science, physics, art, religion, and philosophy are actually colliding and combining now, in ways fascinating to watch!

--- Quote from: delalluvia on November 08, 2007, 08:49:29 am ---Thank you, Lynne. You're absolutely right - I thought about that line 'few and far inbetween' as well after I wrote it. I was thinking about social/poliitcal events, but you're correct, in everyday life, the majority of the people just want to be happy and live peaceful lives and don't even think about being ugly or mean (except in petty mundane ways) to their neighbors.
As for the LOUD ugly and evil minority groups - it is a media bias, I think. They're out to make money and need people drawn in to buy newspapers, magazines or to make ratings for their advertisers, so the more they can sensationalize something, the better. But, at the same time, it doesn't hurt to know such groups exist and where they're coming from. Forearmed is forewarned.

Excellent point, Friend. I'm full of aphorisms tonight ::) - how's it go? 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.'

Just back from a 2 days exhibition in Montreal, about my paintings I created and by others. Had many, many full house spectators! With many, we talked about very serious discussions about life, and one's own!!!
All were elders, especially ladies! How intelligent and clear they are!! Every one surprised me about their life and/or mine!!
Some were men too!!
Hugs!

back to my original question about mean people....there is a new book called "Evil Genes" by Barbara Oakley.
She puts forth the possibility that the being mean may be a genetic problem.
She suggests the term "Malignant Narcissist" to describe a person 'that is malevolent but high functioning....people whose success turns out to be illusory and their lives marked by a trail of emotional scars on people that have to deal with them. In the workplace the successful sinister generate turmoil and leave a trail of damaged careers in their wakes'
maybe this explains some of my questions. About why people like to cause other people pain. I know people like that.
