Hi All, Some people learn a new word via Goanet but do not know how, where and when to use it. Take HUBRIS for example, it means: 'is a term used in modern English to indicate overweening pride, self-confidence'.
Ed said: At that time there was this Shiv Sena movement - if I am not mistaken it was the birth place of Shiv Sena in MP/UP. It was then that I decided I should quit India. Watered milk, stones in rice, wheat and dall, milk powder did not smell like milk powder etc etc. Now, where does 'hubris' fit into this? It was 'fear and uncertainty', plus the fact that, 'institutionalised hatred' by ignorant Indian Police, Political Parties and their followers etc in India against other Religion followers towards the same INDIANS as themselves, that made me look elsewhere. (This Happened In Bangalore Fri Feb 20 05:31:19 PST 2009 by Roland). I feared the same would happen to me sooner or later, just because it happened to someone else does not mean that I do not feel the pain - hubris is it?- according to some people? ED. PS: India my have moved forward by 'copying' the West, while the west has moved even further. ------------- Samir said:-- However, while I find that India is moving up although like an elephantpretty slowly, many other countries are moving backwards. There is only one reason for the above --- hubris, which can be seenin this article as well as many others on this very Goanet. regards,Samir
