morals which even the Bhagavad Gita denotes. Wisdom is not bound to specific cultures or authorities but while certain sayings are the building blocks of wisdom the rest may differ. The book of job is a good example of such difference. It is a wisdom literature but since it is a story which imparts religion mostly‚ its morals differ from what a normal society has for years considered good manners.

Terrorism The Social Evil Terrorism has become a world wide phenomenon these days. What precisely do the terrorists prefer to call themselves when they gain nothing by attacking common‚ innocent people whose death or maiming does not better the strategic or tactical position of terrorists.
