Psychology - November 2006

Lately, things bother me. Like, I went to work, and the door I generally go through to punch in was blocked, and so I would have went around, but instead of doing that, which is really easy, I started bawling and had to go home. I am scared that people see things in my head and therefore try to avoid them--had to run out of my one class because there seemed that there was something that was choking me and I didn't want anyone to see...I cannot sleep, and when I am up at night I look at the ceiling and the halls outside of my dorm and they seem to be coming down on me, closing in on me. I can't get my work done, because I cannot concentrate, and I'm having a hard time even leaving my room for food because I get panicked. I can't call out on the phone anymore because I've developed a phobia of it, and I am scared of my own voice...I don't know what to do, or what this is.

*Among other things like checking out beautiful women, with you right there as if you weren't there. Or going and buying some otherwise useless gadget that is only cool to other guys (or morons) when the rent or mortage payment is already past due.

Do you know a way for someone to forgive and forget a friend who has betrayed your trust? Easier said than done I guess?

You know those days where you just sit there and think "I am so completely content with my life; the way it is at this exact moment"? I love those days, but I haven't had one in a while... When was the last time you had a day like that?

i'm not asking you about a person's sexual orientation but there is something I find truly fascinating/unusual.

If you take for example, a heterosexual person who feels an incredible amount of emotional attachment to the person of the same sex or feels s/he is truly beautiful on the inside and outside. the same goes for a homosexual person who feels this for the person of the opposite sex. like, you feel so drawn to her/him but not romantically.

why does that happen? is it the same wavelength or just seeing what an incredible person someone is?

thanx

This may not be PC. And I should say that I am a raving liberal socially. I have noticed a shift in mindset in the lower income--specifically the folks receiving public assistance. I remember when getting public assistance was difficult for one to accept and people worked hard to get off of it. Somehow this kind of pride was lost. I talked to a police officer recently who said that they evict people ALL THE TIME who are living on public assistance, in public housing where their monthly rent is EIGHT (8) dollars--and they are chatting on cell phones whilst being evicted. WTF??

Last Christmas I adopted a family with a hard luck story and they were great until I dropped of the gifts. And NOTHING. I did get a call to ask me where the PS2 was at that they requested. Another cop told me that they can't get people to do the toys for tots drop offs anymore because these kids are so disrespectful and ungrateful. Where is the charactor building? Where are the ethics??

I'm a smart kid, but a huge slacker. And whenever I get a report card with B's instead of A's, I tell myself that I know I could do much better if I simply put a small amount of effort in.

So then I'll make a pledge to myself that I'll start working harder, but the next day I'll stop caring again and forget about it and be lazy. How do persistantly I keep the former perspective of needing to work harder? I really need to know!!

A question of soul


Dose the internal soul govern the self? Or is it independent of the self, lurking in the back ground like the neutral colours of a room, visible but yet unnoticed. The furnishings being the self, the ego, and superego, Is the self in control of its environment, we decide what happens in our life we take in various stimuli from our environment, our brain processes this information and we act accordingly, that is to say that we act in a way that we hold to be the truth. Surly the individual has the final say. A bit like a game of chess, each move we make takes us to another set of variables with different out comes, ultimately with different endings. Sometimes we loose, sometimes we win, but our decisions are always made with in the confines of that chess board. Like life our decisions are always made with in the confines of societal parameters, which is not to be confused with the values of a society for we are all guilty of making decisions that would not conform to societal values and more importantly would not conform to our own health and well being.
Or is it the internal soul that has the ultimate control the last word? Nudging us this direction or that direction, so that we eventually arrive on the path we were meant to be on? Or is this a cop out to justify the questionable decisions that we may have maid in our life? True we did gain experiences, we did learn how to or not to behave. But that dose not help the people we may have hurt on the road to where we are now.

Plato describes the soul, or the inner self if you will, the internal soul as a chariot having three parts, a charioteer who has been dubbed reason and two horses one of which is spirit and the other is appetite to pull this chariot, now the charioteer/reason guides these glorious beasts, spirit and appetite. Well he is supposed to! But this is not always the case, as we shall see. He uses this analogy to describe the internal conflict that we as individuals go through from time to time in our life. We have spirit “the will to achieve” a fine animal mainly good and yields to the charioteer’s commands. The other is bad “the mate of insolence and pride” temptation if you will! And will hardly yield to the charioteer’s commands. It is up to reason “the charioteer” to guide these beasts. For me, when resin the charioteer guides these horses there unstoppable, clear of vision, unwavering to temptation, reaching goals before we could only have dreamt off. But now anything is possible we will cross our own finishing lines in magnificent style. But when he is not in control. We have Appetite “desire” and the mental picture I get of this horse; well he’s a big bastared! Standing twenty hands high, black as night with big hazel piercing eyes. Eyelashes like spikes, his teeth fiercely biting down on the bit, foaming at the mouth with rage. His nostrils flared, He has a look that can cut through you as if you were glass and is a mussel bound animal. Much stronger than his counterpart “spirit” And he will have his way! When this animal gets his own way let me tell you, he brings spirit and reason along for the ride and when this happens “hold on to your ****! Or more appropriately hold on to your horses “I wonder if this is where that saying originated from” You’re going on a whirlwind fast paced journey, and to what end? “Well” appetite will reveal all to reason when he gets there. For he dose not know where he will end up, nor dose he care where he will end up, all that he knows is; he must run in that direction. But where is the commonality sure we can all go through the same hardships at different stages in life but where is the link between all souls? Is this link the road upon which all chariots travel? Are we to believe that our id ego super ego, or if you will reason appetite and spirit, although they are part of us: apart of the decision making process the things people don’t see and sometimes what we don’t see in our self. But are they the complete make up of us, or our parent’s brothers, sisters, friends, or strangers the people we meet casually through life. Are we to believe we are talking to there soul? And all this if you believe that you have a soul and that this soul can live for ever. For me after seeing a corpse void of life I believed! I believed that the essence of this person was not their, and that it was for me that this essence could only be a form of energy, the life force of an individual. And since energy can not be destroyed it must be eternal. If you believe that energy is eternal and can’t be destroyed. That this energy is ones eternal soul. It must mean that every animal and mammal has the same energy and must have a soul.

CH2
For one to look at our internal soul one must look at Humanity and what it is. What defines us as human beings? Is it kindness and compassion, as dictionaries would lead us to believe as the separating factor? (A little too self righteous and glorifying for my liking.) What is it that we have that separates us from our animal neighbours? For this I think we must look at humanity and its virtues because as it is our virtues that make us human. And we must consider our non virtuous side because this also makes us human. When looking at this we can not neglect the point that the soul of both man and animal may be form of energy! And ask the question; is their a separating factor. Are our souls different?
Dose, when ones soul leave the body as a man retain the information gained while in ones body. Dose a dog remain a dog?

As I look at the list below again for the umpteen time. I can’t help and feel that every species on this planet shows one or two virtues and one or two non virtues. Animals have the ability to love to be untrusting, to show courage to cower. In fact some animals show fidelity, Is it possible that all that separates us from the animal kingdom is the fact that we have more virtues than any other species be they animal or mammal on this planet? That as we evolve we gain more of these attributes.

Virtues Non virtues
Love Hate
GentlenessRough
Good faithUntrusting
Generosity Mean
Tolerance Impatience
CourageCoward
Prudence Imprudent
PolitenessRude
Fidelity Unfaithful
Justice Unjust
MercyUnmerciful
Purity Impure
HumourHumourless
Compassion Hate
Gratitude Ungrateful





Highlighted above are some virtues that animals don’t have and for me their socalised virtues, “learned behaviour”; something that is thought in a society. If you noticed that I did not high light justice that’s because once upon a time I was sitting in, one cold rainy dreary night flicking through the telly as you do and came across this wild life program. And would you believe it, a snake ate a leper cub now what has that got to do with justice I here you ask. Well the snake regurgitated the cub hoping the leper would not continue the chase and fled to this hole on a rock face and the mother leper was sitting over the hole waiting to get the snake for a long period of time knowing its cub was dead. So the jury is now out on weather the leper was looking for justice or not. Which brings in to question the other word hate? Did the leper hate the snake?
So out of thirty virtues there are six virtues that we have that animals don’t have.

The first dream was about the guy I like. We were standing out by where the busses come to pick us up after school, and I leaned up and kissed him. Then I was all embarassed, so I tried to run away, but he caught up with me and put his hand on my shoulder. I turned around and started babbling like an idiot, saying how sorry I was and stuff, and he just said "Bre, it's ok. You don't have to be embarassed." and he leaned in and kissed me.

The second dream was about my friend Rob. Ok, well I've never met him in person, but he's my best friend's ex boyfriend and we talk over email (no he was not her internet boyfriend). Ok, so he's 19 and I'm 15. In the dream, my friend and I went over to his house so I could meet him before he moved to california. The three of us were watching tv in his living room, and my friend went to go to the bathroom. So Rob randomly turned to me and said "so you've never been kissed?" and i said no, so he kissed me. Then we started making out.

What do they mean??
