Actually I have met many scorpios. Nice meeting you too.Well we scorpios are a special lot unique in our own ways. We are crazy, stubborn, short tempered, sweet, ambitious, sensitive caring , sincere, loyal and at times very impulsive.
Oh we do strike...😉. we leave an impression on the people we come across..now if that is being stung...then ...yes...😉😆
If you had one day to do as you like, how would you spend it?
Hey hey...well if it was a good day, i would probably go to the mountains and sit there staring at nature..😆 and clicking pics . In a virtual duniya I would spend the whole day on IF, having loads of fun with friends provided they are online..😛 or having masti in some thread or in some MOTW thread.
Choose any 5 other IF members that you have not described on this thread and describe them : I have described in a separate post
Do you believe in evolution? yes I do.
Explain whether it is a yes or no.
Evolution is the cumulative changes that a species has gone through time to survive,adapt and prapagate.These changes are produced at the genetic level as organisms' genes mutate and/or recombine in different ways during reproduction and are passed on to future generations. Sometimes, individuals inherit new characteristics that give them a survival and reproductive advantage in their local environments; these characteristics tend to increase in frequency in the population, while those that are disadvantageous decrease in frequency. The Darwinian theory of evolution has withstood the test of time and thousands of scientific experiments; nothing has disproved it since Darwin first proposed it more than 150 years ago. Indeed, many scientific advances, in a range of scientific disciplines including physics, geology, chemistry, and molecular biology, have supported, refined, and expanded evolutionary theory far beyond anything Darwin could have imagined. So there is no reason not to believe it.
Where do you think civilization began, and how? I am not very sure but was it Africa? man wanted to get away from hunting and turned into farmers. They they felt the need to advance and therefore moved over to places where they could satisfy their lives wants and requirements.When a group of people having similar tasted, requirements and aspirations setlled down, it became a civilization
In your opinion, which is the oldest civilization and why?
I had read somewhere that probably it was Africa where the oldest civilization began. However, in another place i read that it was actually in Iraq that civilization began.
Why? I search of better lifestyle i would assume.I am afraid i am not a history person .
Do you think that God made the earth in 6 days and then he rested on the 7th day. What are people supposed to do on that day?
Follow God's footsteps and rest.
How does one account for the different races and cultures?
Each man is born with his taste, will power and thoughts. As they evolved or as civilization progressed, people with similar tastes, settled in the same reion. Along with that came changes, social development , religious teaching found its way in Man in his pursuit for a better living migrated to different lands and settled where he felt most of his requirem,ents were made..In all these changes evolved different races and cultures.
Do you think that there is a greater power overseeing everything on earth. Yes I think there is a supreme power
If God made man in his image, why are there wars where man kills man.
Is'nt this one way God is destroying his image?
God made man and sent him to this earth. Man leads his life.Lives life by his standards. If he does something wrong, then that too his his action. How can God be held responsible for an act of man.Did God tell the man-go kill him.
How long have you been a member of IF and what other forums do you visit?
I have been a member for more than a year and half now.However i became active only about less than a year back. Before that I was just a silent reader.
IF is the only forum i visit. If you mean sections, I check out the GA's almost evryday. Then I used to visit KTH before. Actually to tell frankly, i end up in quite a few sections based on the links I am PMed by members to check out something or the other, and half the time i have no clue whish section that is..😆
All members here are cyber friends, What is your take on this?
Yes we are all cyber friends connected to one another via our expressions on posts. However out of this cyber relationship, some very nice ones have developed, who have managed to break through the cyber-real barrier and touch life in real too. They are as real as possible.
Has IF change your thinking and life, and if so-HOW?
IF hasnt changed my life per se but there has been some adaptation to thinking I would say. I have seen live exampleas of how much a person can achieve with sheer determination, and dedication. I have learnt to develop patience which i lacked before and i guess I have learnt to see the good in others, appreciate it. Ther are some tremendously good people here. I have also learnt how not to accept everything at face value.😆
Do you have many friends? Any childhood friends?
I have plenty of friends, but not all i am very close to. And yes do have childhood friends too.
What are your likes and dislikes? What really makes you angry?
Dishonesty, narrow mindedness, holier than thou attitude, condasceding attitude and immoral people, double standard, malicious people really put me off.
I like simple, sincere, straightforward forthright peole who bear no malice and is mature enough to handle situations. I like simplicity in its purest form.
If someone tries to be too smart with you, how do you handle it?
If it was before, i probably would have either Pmed or made a post telling the person to chill out. Now, I couldnt care less.Just ignore the whole thing.
There is a saying "Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are"
Do you believe this? Explain whether yes or no.
Yes I believe it very much. More often than not we tend to get friendly with like minded people who share similar likes, dislikes, personal traits and thereby become close friends. So, the company that a person keeps can tell about him/her.
As you climb up the ladder of success, do not trample on people, cause one day, who knows, you may be on your way down, and you will need these people. Can you explain what I mean.
No matter how high up the ladder of success you go up, never forget the place from you started or the people with whom you started. Never lose the humility or get so carried away by success that you forget your peers. Does not matter at what level you are, unless your feet are firmly rooted to the ground , you will never continue being successful. Modesty, humility , genuineness are the key words that define success. You lose track of it, then it does not take very long to fall from your pedestal.
If you are among negative people, you eventually become negative, and if you are among happy people,that happiness eventually rubs off on you. Do you think this is true?
I think it is true to an extent.Well again, it is defined by your earlier statement that I can read you from looking at your friends. If you are sure about yourself you will like to also choose your company accordingly.then you dont have to stay in the negative company.The biggest advantage that a man has is he has the power to choose what he wants to.he has the power to take a decision for himself. If he follows this, then there is no reason why he should go negative in thought.
Well Adi, take care and have fun. Dont let these smart members outwit you.
Will visit later in the week.
