Where could i find more info about this interesting subject? Let's say a kid is born left-handed, but his parents force him to use his right hand, to be "normal, like everyone else". I know the hand thing is a result of some reversed influence from the brain, but what happens with/inside the brain if forced otherwise?

I recently posted another question. One person answered saying there is no way that I could "feel or understand how he/she felt." And then of course called me clueless.

I believe we all "feel" very much the "same" things but in different experience levels. I believe this because I have lived the life that this person spoke of. I have felt the very same things he/she felt. I have just moved/grown/forgave past that point in my life. Add to that my doctorate of life and you have one powerful understanding of human behavior.
I know the clinical reason, but I want your response.

So my question is: Why do some people who have been through extreme trauma come out unscathed, while others choose to remain in the pit of despair? Do they refuse help? Do they want to feel that way? Does pain give people power and that's why they hold on to it? You tell me. I just want a discussion from the people I see post on this site. I'd like to know what you truly think...

there were two of them, and they were so cute. I bent down to pet the first one and I realized it was biting my finger, and my finger was all bloody and you could see my bone, so I pushed it away from me. Then the second one came up and it was so cute and I reached over to pet it and then remembered that the other one had bit me so I picked it up and threw it and then the first one came back and I stood up and kicked it, like a football. Then I felt really bad about kicking it, and I woke up....lol weird dream, huh? what's it mean?

do you think its possible for a rich succesful man to not have 1 sinful habit or character flaw?

even Michael Jordan committed adultery on his wife. most of America's presidents cheated, had mistresses, were cross-dressers, or were cruel to minorites and native Americans.

Is it possible that a rich man who enjoys....
-multiple sex partners could remain unmarried if he has not met someone with the same sex life.
-drugs or gambling can do it without ruining his finances.
-being mean and likes confrontation can join a fighting league, sports team, or exercise more.
-committing or watching real crimes on film could seek counseling or join an acting group.
-pedophilia should be shot.

I was a new coworker in her dream, had a cane, and was unstable. She says she had an attraction to me, but not sexual one, in the dream. She also wanted to hold me in it.

The impression I have is one of her having empathy for me as I was in her dream.

What could the dream be about?

I don't plan to give more details, sorry.

But men cannot claim special abilities over women, e.g., a Harvard President is ousted for suggesting gender differentials in Science, but a department head of Philosophy can successfully claim female superiority in the morals of compassion.

I had a dream in which I saw a medium sized (about 3 feet long) snake. Snakes are usually "fear" dreams for me but this one was unusual because the snake didn't threaten me. It was brown and colored much like a rattlesnake, but it's head was smaller and completely white, just as if it had been dipped in paint. Anybody read something into this? Thanks for the help!

Only difference is she is busy at home instead of being busy at office/company/shop etc.I personally know many women without a job in their lives and they didn't complain.
