How to Spot a Pathological Liars.

Image
Pathological liars, also known as sociopaths or psychopaths, are individuals who habitually lie without remorse. They may create elaborate stories to deceive others and gain their trust, often for personal gain. However, it can be difficult to spot pathological liars as they are skilled at manipulation and deception. Some signs that may indicate someone is a pathological liar include: They are not able to keep their stories straight and often have inconsistencies in their accounts, They have a tendency to exaggerate or make things up, They are often charming and charismatic and can be very convincing, They have a history of exploiting or manipulating others for personal gain, It is important to note that these signs alone do not necessarily indicate that someone is a pathological liar and it is important to seek professional help for a proper diagnosis. ව්‍යාධිජනක බොරුකාරයන්, සමාජ රෝග හෝ මනෝ ව්‍යාධිකයින් ලෙසද හැඳින්වේ, පුරුද්දක් ලෙස පසුතැවිලි නොවී බොරු කියන පුද්ගලයෝ වෙති. ඔවුන් අන් අයව...

Detect Red Flag Situations in any Relationship

Image
Two young lives ended recently. One is dead, and the other faces years behind bars with no chance of parole. For them, this post has no value now, but if one out of thousands of others reading this can learn something from it and walk away from possible danger, my effort would be worth it. So read on. It can be difficult to detect red flag situations in any relationship, as they can be subtle and may not always be obvious.  However, some common red flags to look for include: Abusive or controlling behaviour:   This can include verbal abuse, physical violence, and attempts to control or manipulate the other person. Lack of respect:  This can include belittling or disrespecting the other person, their opinions, or their boundaries. Lack of trust:  This can include being overly possessive, jealous, or secretive. Lack of communication:  This can include avoiding discussions about important issues, refusing to listen to the other person, or not being open and h...

Free Access Pass to Moksha ( තක්කඩියන් රකිනවාට වඩා ධර්මය රකින එක හොඳයි ).

Image
Most think that blindly defending those crooks who are hiding behind robes and engaging in all manner of nefarious activities will get them a free access pass to Moksha. Exposing such crooks too will not get you a free pass either, but if you can at least stop one person in robes from continuing on that path, you will be able to save him from distorting the sublime Dharma in the future. Defending Dharma is far better than defending crooks. සිවුරු පොරවාගෙන නොයෙක් නොහොබිනා ක්‍රියාවල යෙදෙන තක්කඩියන් අන්ධ ලෙස ආරක්‍ෂා කිරීමෙන් මෝක්ෂයට නොමිලේ ප්‍රවේශයක් ලැබෙන බව බොහෝ මෝඩයෝ සිතති.  ඒවා හෙළිදරව් කිරීමෙන් ඔබටද නිදහස් සාමාර්ථයක් නොලැබෙනු ඇත, නමුත් අඩුම තරමින් එක් සිවුරු පොරවා ගත්තෙකු එම මාර්ගයේ යන එක නවත්වන්නට ඔබට හැකිනම් අනාගතයේදී උතුම් සද්ධර්මය විකෘති කිරීමේ මාවතේ යාමෙන් ඔහු ගලවා ගැනීමට ඔබට හැකිවේවි. තක්කඩියන් රකිනවාට වඩා ධර්මය රකින එක හොඳයි.

Whose Fault Is It Anyway?

Our daughter was booked to travel back on a reputed airline from the Middle East. All went well until the aircraft was grounded due to a suspected bird strike. After holding passengers in the holding area for a while, their premium class passengers were taken out of the area, and much later other passengers too were taken out and served some refreshments. Later, some passengers including our daughter were transported to a nearby airport hotel. Passengers were left unattended at the airport hotel. No contactable number was given, and neither hotel reception was updated about the rolling delay. Later, only on her insistence, her booking was transferred to another carrier operating direct service to her destination by the airline. She had to negotiate with the hotel to get transport back to the airport, go through the formalities on her own, and received no help whatsoever from the airline from which she had purchased her ticket originally. We are aware that there are numer...

Squandered Opportunity !

When we went shopping yesterday, the mall was busier than normal with families taking their children out and soaking up the holiday cheer. As we waited for our order to come, we spotted a father, a mature son, and a young girl, maybe around ten years old, at the counter next to us. She was pleading with her brother to accompany her as she wanted to show him something in another aisle, but because he was engaged in a conversation with the father, she left him alone and returned alone running a short while later, slamming into my wife and knocking her cell phone flying. She halted in her steps, and the father gave us a quick glance before turning to face the other direction as if nothing had happened. There were no noticeable indicators of damage from the fall when we answered the phone. Although accidents can be avoided, they still occur for a variety of reasons. However, I believe it was a squandered opportunity if you did not take the chance to learn something worthwhile from the inci...

Accidents are preventable (අනතුරු වළක්වා ගත හැකිය).

Image
So many accidents have resulted in people losing their lives, limbs, and property, but the authorities are still in a deep slumber. During COVID times, they only had statistics to show how many people died every day but no statistics to show how many lives are lost in road accidents. Impose traffic rules, and there will be a drastic reduction in such incidents of this nature. Accidents are preventable. එවිට මෙවැනි මෙතරම් අනතුරුවලින් මිනිසුන්ගේ ජීවිත, අතපය, දේපළ අහිමි වී ඇතත් බලධාරීන් තවමත් සිටින්නේ තද නින්දකය. COVID කාලවලදී, දිනකට මිනිසුන් කී දෙනෙක් මිය යනවාද යන්න පෙන්වීමට සංඛ්‍යාලේඛන පමණක් තිබූ නමුත් මාර්ග අනතුරු වලින් කොපමණ ජීවිත සංඛ්‍යාවක් අහිමි වේද යන්න පෙන්වීමට සංඛ්‍යාලේඛන නොමැත. මාර්ග නීති ක්‍රියාත්මක කරන්න. එවිට මෙවැනි සිදුවීම් විශාල ලෙස අඩු වනු ඇත. අනතුරු යනු  වළක්වා ගත හැකි  සිද්දියකි. எத்தனையோ விபத்துகளால் மக்கள் உயிரையும், அங்கங்களையும், உடமைகளையும் இழந்தாலும் அதிகாரிகள் இன்னும் ஆழ்ந்த உறக்கத்தில் உள்ளனர். கோவிட் காலங்களில், ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் எத்தனை பேர் இறக்...
