How Society Discourages Emotional Honesty

It takes emotional awareness, self-confidence, even courage to be emotionally honest.

This is because, in many ways, society teaches us to ignore, repress, deny and lie about our feelings. For example, when asked how we feel, most of us will reply "fine" or "good," even if that is not true. Often, people will also say that they are not angry or not defensive, when it is obvious that they are.

Children start out emotionally honest. They express their true feelings freely and spontaneously. But the training to be emotionally dishonest begins at an early age. Parents and teachers frequently encourage or even demand that children speak or act in ways which are inconsistent with the child's true feelings. The child is told to smile when actually she is sad. She is told to apologize when she feels no regret. She is told to say "thank you," when she feels no appreciation. She is told to "stop complaining" when she feels mistreated. She may be told to kiss people good night when she would never do so voluntarily. She may be told it is "rude" and "selfish" to protest being forced to act in ways which go against her feelings.

Also, children are told they can't use certain words to express themselves. I have seen more than one parent tell their child not to use the word "hate," for example. And of course, the use of profanity to express one's feelings is often punished, sometimes harshly. In some cases the parent never allows the children to explain why they feel so strongly.

As children become adolescents they begin to think more for themselves. They begin to speak out more, "talk back" more and challenge the adults around them. If these adults feel threatened they are likely to defend themselves by

Through all of this the child and adolescent learns they can't be honest with their feelings. They gradually stop being emotionally honest with their parents, their teachers, their friends and even themselves. They learn it just doesn't pay to be express one's true feelings.

The Best 80 Photoshop Text Effects on the Web

For some unknown reason, each time we try a new graphics application, we feel the uncontrollable desire to apply the most cheesy effects to beautifully designed typefaces. These so called text effects or type effects are carefully hidden guilty pleasures that most designers enjoy to try, but would never dare to apply in real life work.

For those like me that love text effects and have the courage to admit it, here’s a thorough guide to the best 80 text effects available on the web.

To some these may be not the best tutorials on the web, but certainly they are some of the best around. I had to eliminate those that looked nice but had very little preview images. This guide includes 78 Photoshop tutorials and 2 impressive collections of Photoshop Actions, plus 3 books on the subject.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds."

"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."

"God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically."

"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

"If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

Atheist Prayer

clipper's remarks: Atheist or not, some of these statements make sense!

Clip Source: mwillett.org

Let us take responsibility for our own actions, inactions, strengths and frailties and not project them onto ghosts, spirits, stars, portents and gods unseen.

Let us have the courage to accept that one person's faith is another person's bloody-minded pig-headed refusal to accept the obvious.

Let us have the wisdom to accept that if our ancestors had fared differently in wars our communities would be holding different absurdities up as sacred truths, and the willingness to accept those absurdities would be seen as the badge of social trustworthiness or even the right to be allowed to draw breath.

Let us accept that the difference between a prophet and a madman is not what they say but whether the crowd accepts the story and tells their children to believe it.

Let us have the courage to accept that wanting to believe in something with every fibre of our being does not and cannot make it true.

Truth needs no help, no believers, no bowed heads and no amens.

Unless You Say No, Your Organs Go

Fri, 03 Nov 2006 06:45:03 GMT

clipped by: haraya

Clip Source: blog.wired.com

The Canadian province of Ontario is considering a "presumed consent" system that would make everyone a potential organ donor unless they opt out.

It would apparently be the first place in North America to not require consent before organs can be removed.

The Canadian Press reports:

Members on both sides of the legislature said Monday the status quo isn't good enough. The NDP's Peter Kormos said perfectly good organs will continue to go to waste until Ontario has the courage to strengthen its organ donor system.

"It's a matter of political will," said Kormos, who has introduced a private members' bill to bring in presumed consent.

"There is some squeamishness about it. I, for the life of me, can't understand why people are squeamish about saving the lives of mothers, daughters, sisters, brothers, children and parents."

Winston Churchill quotes

Winston Churchill

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

We occasionally stumble over the truth but most of us pick ourselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.

These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived.

There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result.

The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.

The British nation is unique in this respect. They are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst.

Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

Never, never, never give up.

Kindness Is Strength Or Weakness?

Flirt till your blue in the Facebook, Triumph over opponents, share iThink opinions, and many others. Many of these Apps involve assessing your ‘friends’ on Facebook. This week, a Weakness was noted for being Too Kind, and it caused a pause of humorous delightful wonder.

I was delighted and wondered why so many feel being Kind is a Weakness? Being kind requires vulnerability. Does that make ‘being vulnerable’ a weakness too?

Vulnerability is quite the opposite of weakness and requires tremendous strength and courage. I know. I’ve taken the journey. It isn’t easy to stay open that way with everyone, at least not in the beginning.

With perseverance and experience, the truth of vulnerability reveals something deeper about human capacity and capability, as well as where it’s source originates.

Remember, it is only cowards that hide behind their own fear. Fear drives the worst kind of behaviour in humanity. You are the light - Remove the fear.
