*Your neighbor starts building a fence, waking you up every day for a week at six AM. Instead of confronting him about it face-to-face you write an email to the homeowner’s association.
*You disagree with your pastor’s decision making. Instead of asking him to meet with you to discuss it, you rally a posse to your cause without his knowledge to “confront him” at the next elder meeting.
*You give a friend a ride to the airport, expecting payback in the near future. You don’t tell him about the expectation, and when he doesn’t offer any payback on his own, you become resentful.
*A long-time friend offends you by cancelling a hang session. Instead of telling him how you feel, you just don’t contact him for months.
*A family member brings up a topic of conversation you don’t wish to discuss. You look away and act awkward, making the other person feel uncomfortable, in order to reinforce the fact that such topics should not be referred to in your presence again.
*You meet a person who is particular position of influence in your industry. In order to gain potential opportunities you pursue a friendship with the guy, who thinks you just enjoy hanging out with him. When he gives you a good “lead” that you cash in on, you start spending less time with him.
I realized recently we have fallen into this mentality for a number of very specific reasons. Cell phones and the internet have created a disconnected culture of texting and emailing. Most of us are not great communicators to begin with, and the outlet of digital connection allows us to choose laziness and avoidance. Also, many of us have parental wounds from dysfunctional families which taught us that our feelings do not matter. And when your feelings don’t matter, you subconsciously resort to indirect means to get your needs met, because a straight line will not help you acquire what you desire. “Guy code” also dictates that we don’t share our feelings, because that would expose us to potential rejection and shame-the two greatest evils to males. In the wake of this, the deceptive/pleasing/avoidant approach is the only alternative in our minds. Besides, who doesn’t want to be well-liked? Who wants to be the confrontational bad-guy?
On the surface, avoidance and non-confrontational manipulation has its merits. It helps you to escape from being at odds with people. By playing the “pleaser” you can garner reciprocal “back-scratching” from coworkers and people you are networking with. In relationships, it will help you get what you want without needing to have painful conversations. But what is the cost?
When you look a little deeper, It turns out the “Ol’ Palpy” approach to life is expensive. Much more expensive than the payoffs, or the alternative, in fact. First, avoiding conflict never extinguishes conflict. It only delays it. And in being avoidant you actually inflame the issue at hand, so that when it comes to the surface, the situation becomes more dramatic than it needs to be. Second, “pleasing” always breeds resentment. The yes-man always feels ripped off because his true feelings are never heard. And the people being manipulated always feel cheated because they feel like they never have a choice in the matter at hand. Third, passive/avoidant types usually have bad tempers. This is because a) their feelings are always bottled up, and b) they become trapped in situations they can’t get out of because they don’t want to step on any toes. Fourth, this type of guy usually ends up feeling isolated. When your goal is to avoid conflict you can hardly ever connect to anyone deeply-because that would require a level of vulnerability that is uncomfortable and risky. Also, “nice guys” tend to be anxious, because they spend so much energy on trying to make everyone around them happy.
The ultimate casualties in the equation are our courage, and ultimately, our character. The guy who avoids conflict and resorts to manipulation to get what he wants is afraid he can’t get it any other way. It’s impossible not to become a deceiver when you live this way, and in dishonesty there cannot reside respect or integrity. The net effect is a new breed of men who have no inherent power outside of the shadows.
Fellas, it’s time we learn to take our power back, and in the process restore our lost courage, confidence, and character.

A married couple in China recently found out that they had unknowingly crossed paths nearly 20 years ago, thanks to an old photograph stashed away in a family album.
Mr Ye and his wife, Ms Xue, met and fell in love in 2011 in Chengdu, and have twin daughters – but the two unknowingly crossed paths in July 2000, when they visited the May Fourth Square in the seaside city of Qingdao(also called Tsingtao),Shandong Province at the same exact moment, Sina News reported.
A former [Thai] Navy Seal working to rescue a dozen boys and their coach trapped in a cave in Thailand has died from a lack of oxygen, authorities have said.
Saman Kunan, a former member of Thailand’s elite navy SEAL unit who was part of the rescue team in Chiang Rai, died around 1am on Friday morning.

Every December 25th, it’s not Santa Claus people in Peru are looking forward to. They’re looking forward to Takanakuy, the annual tradition of getting together as a community, and beating the snot out of each other to settle old grudges, all followed and celebrated in tandem with drinking, dancing, music and family support!
Takanakuy (“when the blood is boiling” in the Quechua language) is an annual established practice of fighting fellow community members held on 25 December, by the inhabitants of Chumbivilcas Province, near Cuzco in Peru. The practice started in Santo Tomás, the capital of Chumbivilcas and has now spread to other villages and cities, the prominent ones being Cuzco and Lima. The festival consists of dancing and of individuals fighting each other to settle old conflicts or simply to display their manhood.
It’s not just men going toe to toe in settling old disputes that have boiled up over the year since the last festival, it’s women too.
They even dress up in elaborate stylized costumes:
There are five types of traditional ‘characters’ portrayed during the ceremony that have different roles based on Andean cultural symbols. The majority of the dress is based on traditional horse riding gear and brighly colored Peruvian ski masks, which are characteristic of the specific regional area. The ski masks are not all the same, they have different colors, different designs, and different textile patterns.
Children also dress up for the occasion, usually resembling their father’s character. The purpose of the fighting is to settle conflicts with an individual, friend, family member or to settle territorial conflicts that have come up throughout the year. The style of fighting used during the celebration is relatively similar to martial arts, which involves kicking, punching, and quickness of their movements. Those fighting call out their opponents by their first and last name. They then proceed to the middle of the circle and start the fight.
The men fighting must wrap their hands with cloth prior to the fight. Biting, hitting those in the ground, or pulling hair is not allowed during the fight. The winner is selected based upon a knockout or intervention by the official. There are amateur officials who carry whips in order to maintain the crowd under control. At the start and at the end of the fight, the opponents must shake hands or give each other a hug. If the loser of the fight disagrees with the outcome, he or she can appeal for another fight. This type of fighting also exemplifies one’s level of manhood in the community of Santo Tomás.
Thus, at the centre of things, it’s mainly a manly event backed by families cheering on the Father while officials carry around whips to maintain the crowd.
Though hands are wrapped in cloth, it’s basically bare knuckle, and if the loser doesn’t like that he’s lost, he can appeal to continue for an extension of the fight, or to have another.

The thoughtless, the ignorant, and the indolent, seeing only the apparent effects of things and not the things themselves, talk of luck, of fortune, and chance. Seeing a man grow rich, they say, “How lucky he is!” Observing another become intellectual, they exclaim, “How highly favored he is!” And noting the saintly character and wide influence of another, the remark, “How chance aids him at every turn!” They do not see the trials and failures and struggles which these men have voluntarily encountered in order to gain their experience; have no knowledge of the sacrifices they have made, of the undaunted efforts they have put forth, of the faith they have exercised, that they might overcome the apparently insurmountable, and realize the Vision of their heart. They do not know the darkness and the heartaches; they only see the light and joy, and call it “luck”; do not see the long and arduous journey, but only behold the pleasant goal, and call it “good fortune”; do not understand the process, but only perceive the result, and call it “chance.”

Davies: Do you care about the reactions you get from the locals after the episodes appear?
Bourdain: I care about the – yes. I – what I want to happen ideally – and it’s so weird. It’s a double-edged sword. Ideally, I’ll go to a place like – I’ll find a little bar in Rio, let’s say, some little local place that perfectly expresses the neighborhood. You know, it’s not on the – it’s not a tourist-friendly place. The response I’m looking for is to hear from someone from the neighborhood saying, how did you ever find that place? I thought only we knew about it. It’s, you know, a – truly a place that we love and is reflective of our culture and our neighborhood.
But on the other hand, that’s kind of a destructive process because if I name the place – and I don’t always when it’s a place like that – I’ve changed it. The next time I go back, there’s tourists. There’s people who’ve seen it on the show. And then I might hear from the same person from that neighborhood say, you ruined my favorite bar, (laughter) you know? All the regular customers have run away and it’s filled with, you know, tourists in ugly T-shirts and flip-flops.
Davies: Do you sometimes protect somebody’s identity?
Bourdain: There are times that I have looked at the camera and said, look, I’m just not going to tell you where this place is. I don’t want to change it. It should stay like this forever. I do do that now and again.
