Why do humans brag?

Some many many years back when I was just some 14 years old..my family went to hill resort called Fraser's Hill out here in Msia.

We stayed in a hotel which had a nice gym and table tennis facilities.

There was a family fron Sweden..a white family and the young boy aged around 12 was playing table tennis with my younger brother.

The Swedish boy was way too good and was scoring well ahead of my brother.

Then the Swedish's boys father said something to him in their own language and the boy started to tone down his playing and let my brother score a few points and finally the Swedish boy let my brother catch up and only beat my bro by 1 point.

It was obvious that his father did want to let his son beat someone else who was not as good with a marked difference in score point.

I still remember that incident till today..a very polished Swedish man who wanted kids to play for fun and not win by a great difference.
 
Dear Krish ji,

I use the term "Imaginary Friends".

I have seen many of these types in Bhajan groups..suddenly they will bond like BFF and one day it will be a sudden 180 degree turn and friendship is totally gone and lost forever.

So that is why I prefer using the term 'Imaginary Friends"..every bond is bound to disappear one day!LOL
Some relations are on -off.

they are based on requirement of either party .

here it is an issue of using each other at time intervals and no other feeling.

both feel the need for each other at intervals to satisfy some requirement
 
I don't expect J from members I have met.

But they can at least stop the constant nagging in every other thread! :boink:

Every action will have its own reaction.

Why pass comment on an erstwhile Member? You have no answer for that and expecting everyone to be a silent spectator in unjust.
:violin:


It is you who provoke and thus invite nagging and now behaving like a crying baby.
:Cry:
 
Who cries? I just :lol: on seeing such posts from self proclaimed 'forum police' ! :ranger:
Anyway my post made Renu laugh and so it is absolutely fine! :peace:
 
We all wish to impress others by our personality. That is a trait inborn in us. This is being done by enhancing
our ego by words and deed. To brag and bluff are easiest paths to achieve this trait.
Originally the word "Persona" in Latin meant mask

Humans tend to show ONLY their good side, when they interact with others. :angel:

Hence the increase in divorces, when the real personality comes to light!

Dear RR ji,

I wonder is there something as Real Personality..sometimes I dont even understand myself ...have no idea what I might be the next second..so I feel we humans do not really have a fixed personality...we create our own personalities depending on the situation..our true nature is only SELF..everything else is transient and hence just an illusion.
 
Dear Renu,

Yes! Humans act depending on the situation. That is why, they always try to show their :angel: side when some others are around!

Some henpecked men try to act brave in public and they are 'veettilE eli; veLiyilE puli'! I have come across such mAmAs. :lol:
