A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. ATTENTION MALES OF ANY AND ALL AGES
From the earliest days of mankind boys and indeed men of all ages have been perplexed in social situations where they are presented to young members of the opposite gender and are met with giggling*. The first reaction for men is to wonder “What about my appearance or bearing causes these young ladies to laugh? Are my clothes so out of fashion? Has my cowlick sprung loose and stands like a radio antenna? Is some article of my clothing untucked, mismatched, mis-buttoned or worse unzipped?” Female giggling has deflated many a teenage boy’s self image, made him feel inadequate and has exacerbated his sense of social and physical awkwardness. This among the riot of hormones permeating the bodies of both genders.
But now the truth can be told. Be at ease, young man. Girls and young women giggle not because they find anything ungainly about a given young man, but because they feel silly and awkward in the situation. And since most young women tend to move in pairs or small groups when one starts giggling the reaction is contagious.
How might young men then counter this giggling? Saying, “You must share the joke which causes you so much amusement,” will only trigger more cascades of giggling. A better response might be to join in their mirth by saying, “This all really does seem ridiculous, doesn’t it?” Or if you wish to misdirect their minds into a different frame pose a question that requires math since it stimulates a different part of the brain. You might ask, “How long did it take for you to get here?” Or my favorite, “How many shopping days until Christmas?”
*I should point out that young men also giggle uncontrollably but under different circumstances.

From ancient times to the present, philosophers have repeatedly emphasized the importance of living a frugal or minimalist life. The ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes said, “True wealth is not in increasing possessions, but in reducing one’s needs.” Mahatma Gandhi pointed to the destructive side of human greed, stating, “The Earth has enough for everyone’s needs, but not enough for everyone’s greed.” From the Buddha to Karl Marx, across the passage of time, many have expressed similar ideas. This minimalist concept in philosophy has greatly influenced the photographer, and its mark is clearly visible in his vision and framing.
The absence of color or the use of minimal composition in framing reflects the photographer’s inclination toward a minimalist approach. The fog, wrapped like a thick winter blanket, creates a serene atmosphere. In this calm and pure dramatic setting, human presence becomes secondary. Before nature, even humanity’s vast achievements become insignificant. That is why the photographer has kept humans and their architectural achievements in the background, framing the scene in a minimalist style. Here, nature is the primary subject—not humans or their constructions.
According to nihilism, or the philosophy of pessimism, human life does not has inherent purpose. Evolutionary theory has shown that humans are an unintended outcome of nature’s evolutionary process. Yet human beings, regarded as the finest of creations, continue to exploit all their knowledge and effort into seeking meaning in life. They establish ever-greater architectural structures upon the heart of nature. In proving their superiority, they seem to challenge nature itself. Viewing nature as an adversary, humanity gradually distances itself further and further from it.

One of only seven Baha'i temples in the world, the Baha'i House of Worship in the northern Chicago suburb of Wilmette symbolizes unity and invites prayer to God, according to its Web-site description. In an effort to capture a nontraditional view of the temple, seen here in the background, I headed over to nearby Wilmette Harbor, where activity is beginning to pick up following a long, cold winter. This enabled me to claim two themes with this image for the Our Daily Challenge Group: “Symbol” and “Wet.” The temple is quite a magnificent structure, and I'll likely post a closer, more traditional shot of it in the future.

The present St Laurence Church stands on a site which has been used for Christian worship since the middle of the 13th century, when Scots King Alexander III erected a chapel in honour of St Laurence as a memorial to his late wife Margaret. The present building is relatively modern. Its foundation stone was laid on 17th August 1904 and the building was first opened for worship on 28th February 1906
