I saw a really rude and insulting lady today giving a cashier a hard time about pricing and inventory. Something the cashier could have had no control over. I felt like telling this lady she looked like an ***. She wouldn't even let up when the cashier was practically in tears

Why do you think he hasn't replied. PLEASE HELP. Confused!?
I had a fling with a guy for around half a year. We both have a partner and i dont know about him but i love mine to bits, just get bored sometimes (hence why the fling happened) Anyway the guy just stopped being in contact one day with his reason being 'its wrong' Well he had said that many times before but as soon as we saw each other again, it tended to go out the window. Anyway this time its for real and I can't figure out why this time he really doesn't want anything to do with me. So i wrote him a letter and posted it basically saying i never wanted more than no strings, but i miss it and can't figure out why the sudden change of heart and can he please explain so i can understand and move on, I also asked if he hates me. He then told me he would ring me, but he hasn't, nor has he replied. Why do you think this might be so? Please answer, i am confused

In reference to rampant racial prejudice about one century ago, W.E.B. Du Bois prophetically and insightfully, stated that, "Either the USA will destroy ignorance, or ignorance will destroy the USA". Over the course of the next century, which one, in your opinion, will triumph? How do you know?

I met someone... we got along so great (he was gushing about me).. now he's switched off. He's rejected me and broke my heart and is not responsive. I need to move on and heal. all of my friends and family say it is not me but his sickness. How do I heal without blaming myself? I know this is because of his severe disorder but I am so hurt. Please don't respond if you are going to say mean things... i feel so fragile as-is. I know he is very ill now... I got attached and now I'm hurting. How do I cope? thanks.

I was seeing this psychatrist of 11 years. He would even take my calls at night and talk to me for a hour. My husband had me so emotionally battered and without my doctor I couldn't have made it. I left my husband in April, finally. My doctor passed away in May. I never got the chance to say good-bye, thank him for hours of listens without charging me, and most important that I finally made it out. He was my bestfriend. Do you think he is looking down and knows that finally I'm okay?

My therapist seems to ask me many personal questions. Of course it is his job because he is helping me to sort out some things in my life. But questions about my sex life such as when was the last time I had sex and what my conversations are about when I talk to men. He wants to know too many specifics such as where I met the guy and what street I was on when I met him. My phone rings while I'm in a session with him and he wants to know if the caller is male or female. What type of craziness is that? Anyway am I just being paranoid? He claims its his job and he's concerned but I think he's too nosy. I mean it shouldn't matter who I talk to, what I talk about with them and my sex life either. As long as it's not hurting me mentally it should not be his concern. Is he nosy or just CRAZY?

I hear of people meditating (consciously and awake) long enough and deeply to a point where what they are mediating about or thinking about seems real. Is that really possible or are they tricking their own mind.

For example, I've recently heard of a person meditating about having a tail and they claim to have really been able to feel it.
Another example- a person mediates about walking through a forest. Their imagination then becomes so vivid that it seems like it is real. Like a dream, but a dream while awake.

the psychologists and psychiatrists know the root cause of the psychological and social problems. but most of them confine themselves to their patients and experiments but hesitate to participate in people's struggles. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WAS ERICH FROMM, A NEO FREUDIAN,WHOSE SCATHING CRITICISM OF THE INHUMANITY OF CAPITALIST SYSTEM AND US ACTION IN VIETNAM AND HIS CAMPAIGNING FOR PEACE AND GENERAL DISARMAMENT, BOTH IN THE PRESS AND AT PUBLIC MEETINGS AND DEMONSTRATIONS, HAVE ATTRACTED THE ATTENTION OF WIDE CIRCLES OF PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE IN THE US AND ELSEWHERE.

Erich Fromm, one of the greatest neo Freudians who beautifully synthesized Marxism and freudianism . it is to Fromm's credit that in his comparison of Marx and Freud, he singles out Marx as a thinker of much greater depth and scope than Freud and accords him pride of place."Marx is a figure of world historical significance with whom Freud can not even be compared"9ERICH FROMM, BEYOND THE CHAINS OF ILLUSION, PAGE 9 AND PAGE 26)
