Hough Ashoka emerged victorious at the end of war seizing the territory of Kalinga, the sight of the battlefield made his heart break with shame, guilt and disgust. It is said that the battle was so furious that the waters of River Daya turned red with the blood of the slain soldiers and civilians. The sight of numerous corpses lying strewn across the battlefield made his heart wrench. He felt sick inside. The battle ground looked like a graveyard with bodies of not just soldiers but men, women and children. He saw young children crying over the bodies of their dead parents, women crying over the bodies of their dead husbands, mothers crying over the loss of a child. This made him heartbroken and he made a pledge to never ever fight a battle again. To seek solace, he converted to Buddhism.

What can you do if a neighbor gives you a sloppy kiss?”

Schach [20]

Well first of all did you like the kiss. If so then I say go have some fun with it. If not then you can either talk to them about it, pretend it didn’t happen, or ignore the person.

According to schaie, what is the stage that many (but not all) people enter further into middle adulthood?

solniwko [45]

I believe the answer is: Executive stage

During the executive stage, people generally become more discipline in separating the things that they should or should not do in order to achieve their life goals. \
This stage is developed because most people in this age group tend to adopt broader perspective regarding how every little actions that they do could influence the outcome of their life.
