In life, many of us have seemed to develop the mindset that we will all have a happily ever after..Why?
Is there any psychologist who has written on this?
Why do we need a get-a-way?

Where's the fairness when all over the internet, women are bashing men, saying they are superior (German Nazis said they were superior) and insulting men every chance they get?

Didn't the feminists ask for fairness? It's a pity more women didn't read history; whenever you take away the rights of one Citizen (men) it's easier to take away the rights of another Citizen
(women.)

Just ask any of the Jewish who survived the Holocaust.

The other day, my girlfriend, of almost 9 months said, "I love you" to me. I told her that I loved her about one month ago, but she didn't say it back. Anyway, since she has said those three words, I've been scared. I'm not scared to commit to her, but I'm scared that I can't give her and her beautiful daughter the life she deserves. I think about all the irresponsible decisions I've made in my life, and I can't help but think that I'm going to mess something up in this relationship. I want to have kids, but I'm afraid that I'd be a bad father because of my bad upbringing. I'm not a very social person, but I try my damndest. This woman means the world to me. Are my feelings of fear normal? I'm in this for the long haul, but I just doubt myself. I don't want her to know how scared I am because it may push her away from me.

My father and my mother told me that some time ago they had heard some strange noises in their room, as if somebody would have been talking, but there had been nobody. I have to add, that they are absolutely normal people, not crazy ones, but I just don't know how to explain this thing. My father also told me that he had the feeling at night as if there would have been some evil spirits around that didn't let him sleep, giving him dark thoughts (increasing his already too high level of anxiety), and they only stopped when he repeated "Go away from me!". And then he suddenly felt a tingling sensation in all his body...and everything calmed down. And then he could sleep.
I have to add, that both of my parents are very religious people.

I down't know what to make of it...what do you think?? Serious answers please, thank you!

That is just an assumption. Genesis 1:2 says "Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters" Genesis 1:3 says God said, "Let there be light" , and there was light...(the first day), but how many millions or billions of years (as we know years) did the earth sit in darkness before God brought about its first day by creating light to make the first day. Just because there is no light doesnt mean there is no earth. If Bible people and scientists got together they might find that they believe the same things happened in the creation of the earth. They just are not willing to listen to each other. How do I know? I have many PhD's including Biblical Studies.

Modern analysis emphasizes that human beings are not "commodities"" or "resources", but are creative and social beings that make contributions beyond 'labor' to a society and to civilization. The broad term human capital has evolved to contain some of this complexity, and in micro-economics the term "firm-specific human capital" has come to represent a meaning of the term "human resources."

Advocating the central role of "human resources" or human capital in enterprises and societies has been a traditional role of socialist parties, who claim that value is primarily created by their activity, and accordingly justify a larger claim of profits or relief from these enterprises or societies. Critics say this is just a bargaining tactic which grew out of various practices of medieval European guilds into the modern trade union and collective bargaining unit.

A contrary view, common to capitalist parties, is that it is the infrastructural capital and (what they call) intellectual capital owned and fused by "management" that provides most value in financial capital terms. This likewise justifies a bargaining position and a general view that "human resources" are interchangeable.

A significant sign of consensus on this latter point is the ISO 9000 series of standards which requires a "job description" of every participant in a productive enterprise. In general, heavily unionized nations such as France and Germany have adopted and encouraged such descriptions especially within trade unions. One view of this trend is that a strong social consensus on political economy and a good social welfare system facilitates labor mobility and tends to make the entire economy more productive, as labor can move from one enterprise to another with little controversy or difficulty in adapting.

An important controversy regarding labor mobility illustrates the broader philosophical issue with usage of the phrase "human resources": governments of developing nations often regard developed nations that encourage immigration or "guest workers" as appropriating human capital that is rightfully part of the developing nation and required to further its growth as a civilization. They argue that this appropriation is similar to colonial commodity fiat wherein a colonizing European power would define an arbitrary price for natural resources, extracting which diminished national natural capital.

The debate regarding "human resources" versus human capital thus in many ways echoes the debate regarding natural resources versus natural capital. Over time the United Nations have come to more generally support the developing nations' point of view, and have requested significant offsetting "foreign aid" contributions so that a developing nation losing human capital does not lose the capacity to continue to train new people in trades, professions, and the arts.

An extreme version of this view is that historical inequities such as African slavery must be compensated by current developed nations, which benefitted from stolen "human resources" as they were developing. This is an extremely controversial view, but it echoes the general theme of converting human capital to "human resources" and thus greatly diminishing its value to the host society, i.e. "Africa", as it is put to narrow imitative use as "labor" in the using society.

In the very narrow context of corporate "human resources", there is a contrasting pull to reflect and require workplace diversity that echoes the diversity of a global customer base. Foreign language and culture skills, ingenuity, humor, and careful listening, are examples of traits that such programs typically require. It would appear that these evidence a general shift to the human capital point of view, and an acknowledgement that human beings do contribute much more to a productive enterprise than "work": they bring their character, their ethics, their creativity, their social connections, and in some cases even their pets and children, and alter the character of a workplace. The term corporate culture is used to characterize such processes.

The traditional but extremely narrow context of hiring, firing, and job description is considered a 20th century anachronism. Most corporate organizations that compete in the modern global economy have adopted a view of human capital that mirrors the modern consensus as above. Some of these, in turn, deprecate the term "human resources" as useless.

As the term refers to predictable exploitations of human capital in one context or another, it can still be said to apply to manual labor, mass agriculture, low skill "McJobs" in service industries, military and other work that has clear job descriptions, and which generally do not encourage creative or social contributions.

In general the abstractions of macro-economics treat it this way - as it characterizes no mechanisms to represent choice or ingenuity. So one interpretation is that "firm-specific human capital" as defined in macro-economics is the modern and correct definition of "human resources" - and that this is inadequate to represent the contributions of "human resources" in any modern theory of political economy.
