Peace Sister to You
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering
Fear leads also to submission, love leads to submission also does
submission without love is the path to the dark side
love without submission is the path to the dark side
Hate one must, that hate which to suffering leads

I am unable to articulate my thoughts for I can hardly find parallels between the two, unless I decide to dive deep into the DNA. To me being mean is more like a choice, where as being coward is situational and no one , among human, can claim to be an absolute intrepid.

Re: Difference between the two...
that is befitting devil or diabolical, this statement which you made, intelliphant.

being mean is intentional…
but being a coward is not always intentional…

Did't I say the same thing.......let me read that again...
Re: Difference between the two...
intelliphant,
the world is fine about situational factors. yes, they hamper. but only as much as you allow them to. esp in human relations, the situational factors are not uncontrollable environmental disasters.
the contrived state of a man or a woman, in being PUSHED to make a choice at work with supervisors or colleagues, with the nuclear family members, or between two people who have an intimate relationship,
cannot be blamed solely on the situations.
there is much to it, in the way of being listless as an individual, as alibis are seen to be respites where as they are not.
and so, the statement is there a difference between being mean or coward under these circumstances?
there is something called self determination, & that God given right to be competent, confident and stead-fast in being a deciding human being for very own personal decisions. one ought not to go by hearsay or be cramped with doubts and fears, for due to that, no relationship with anyone, will come out to be comfortable and trustworthy for the long run or the short run.
consulting other people, is alright, but always following suggestions by others or their demands, and not thinking and acting for oneself, or attributing mistrust and no trust to someone who actually is trustworthy and is according all trust, is a place in which... what do you think, a mean person will end up like that or a coward?
and if they were to reverse their actions, how each may do so?

Re: Difference between the two...
Dushwari,
I am 80% with you if you intend to say that being coward, in a given situation, where we could have been brave otherwise is being "mean". I may further elaborate my thoughts on this if I live.

Re: Difference between the two...
intelliphant,
being coward and being mean, often are found together in humans.
you know that.
this is not about being in agreement with me.
i simply stated the question in the beginning of the thread, so that people, who like can share their respective perspectives.
you did share yours, which i see as befitting practical notion of pargmatism.
yet, you dont leave any room for realization, in case of a coward or a mean person? or do you?
if you do, how so?
share if you like.
best,
