Tolerance, Violence, and Media!

Tolerance is defined as the acceptance of differences as well as the ability to live and let others live. It is the ability to treat people fairly, regardless of their beliefs, behaviors, religion, nationality, or other factors. 1/n

Tolerance is more than merely agreeing with one another or staying neutral in the face of injustice; it is about demonstrating respect for each person's inherent humanity. 2/n
The failure to appreciate and accept the customs, ideas, and beliefs of another group is referred to as intolerance. For example, intolerances could arise over issues such as identity (caste, religion), self-determination, statehood, refugee return rights, and so on. 3/n
In today's world, prejudice begins with "those who have the remote control in their hands in the drawing-room." We used to have days when the entire colony sat around and watched a TV show, 4/n
but nowadays, every room has a TV because there are so many channels to choose from and people like different ones. Siblings in the same room use computers to view their shows. 5/n
The use of force to damage (physically or emotionally) or abuse someone is known as violence. The term is used to denote a destructive activity, such as purposeful and forceful injury to individuals, property damage, and verbal and emotional abuse of others. 6/n
Individuals' opinions about one another are based on assumptions due to a lack of experience. 7/n
The positive or negative beliefs of those who have the most influence in their lives (parents, family members, colleagues, instructors, and/or role models) might have an impact on this. Individuals' intolerance is perpetuated as a result of this. 8/n
Individual opinions are shaped by media and press images of other groups. In education, there are biased and/or bad historical accounts of world cultures in the school curriculum and educational literature. 9/n
Instead of promoting cultural knowledge and tolerance for diversity and differences, myth-based education or schooling can denigrate and demean other cultures. 10/n
Tolerance is preferable to intolerance when it comes to tolerance. How can one be accepting of others who despise them? Tolerance of bigotry is not acceptable nor attainable for many people. Tolerance is still crucial to reducing hostile relations amongst people. 11/n
Tolerance aids the affected groups in enduring the agony of the past and resolving their differences in times of violent conflict. 12/n
Here are some suggestions:

Individuals: In their daily lives, individuals should strive to be more tolerant of others. This entails intentionally confronting preconceptions 13/n
and assumptions that people come across when making judgments about others and/or dealing with others in a social or professional setting. 14/n
Press Media: The media should present positive images to foster cultural sensitivity and understanding. People are less inclined to find fault with one another if they are exposed to good media messages about different cultures. 15/n
Those populations, in particular, have little contact with the outside world and are sensitive to what the media tells them! 16/n
Ironically, the media prefers sensationalism and thus unintentionally fosters unfavorable stereotypes about many populations. STAY AWAY FROM SENSATIONALISM! 17/n
Educators play a critical role in promoting tolerance and peaceful cooperation. Schools that foster tolerance, for example, assist young people in respecting and understanding diverse cultures. 18/n
Stop glorifying violence and supporting terrorism in the movies. This is impossible since the entire media is funded by terrorists. The irony is that we have more people watching movies than reading blogs! 19/n
They are powerful, and if they use their power for good, they can change the world! 20

அருள்மிகு லட்சுமி நரசிம்மர் கோவில், கீழப்பாவூர், திருநெல்வேலி.
தல சிறப்புகள்
இந்தியாவில் உள்ள நரசிம்மர் கோவில்களில் அபூர்வமானதும், வேறெங்கும் காண இயலாத பல்வேறு சிறப்புகள் நிறைந்த தலமாக கீழப்பாவூர் நரசிம்மர் கோவில் விளங்குகிறது.


தலம், மூர்த்தி, தீர்த்தம் மட்டுமின்றி பல்வேறு சிறப்புகள் நிறைந்தது கீழப்பாவூர் நரசிம்மர் ஆலயம்.

இந்தியாவில் மூன்று இடங்களில் தான் 16 திருக்கரங்களுடன் கூடிய நரசிம்மர் ஆலயம் உள்ளது.

ஒன்று ராஜஸ்தான் மாநிலத்திலும், மற்றொன்று பாண்டிச்சேரி அருகே சிங்ககிரி எனும் சிறு குன்றிலும் உள்ளது

மூன்றாவதாகக் கீழப்பாவூரில் மட்டுமே சமதளமான பகுதியில் 16 திருக்கரங்களுடன் அருள்பாலித்து வருகிறார்.

சுற்றிலும் வயல்கள், குளங்கள் நிறைந்து பசுமையாக உள்ளது.

எல்லாவற்றிற்கும் மேலாக ரிஷிகளுக்கு காட்சி கொடுத்தது மட்டுமின்றி, நிரந்தரமாகத் தங்கி இருப்பதும் இங்கு மட்டுமே.

இத்தலம் சுமார் 1,100 ஆண்டுகள் புராதனச் சிறப்புமிக்கதாகும்.

முதன் முதலில் நரசிம்மர் அவதாரம் நிகழ்ந்தது அகோபிலம் திருத்தலத்தில்.

மீண்டும் அவதாரம் எடுத்த தலம் கீழப்பாவூர் ஆகும்.

தல வரலாறு

கிருதயுகத்தில் பிரகலாதனுக்காக திருமால் நரசிம்ம அவதாரம் எடுத்து இரண்யனை அழித்தார்.

சில நாழிகைகளே நீடித்திருந்த நரசிம்ம அவதாரத்தை காண காசிப முனிவர், நாரதர், வருணன், சுகோஷன் முனிவர் போன்றோர் விருப்பம் கொண்டு மகா விஷ்ணுவை நோக்கித் தவம் இருந்தனர்.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
