Psychology - August 2007

I often see people at work who seem tired, fatigued, bored or otherwise under the weather. What's a little thing you do to get a smile or to cheer them up, or at least make their day a little more interesting?
Vice versa, if you're at work and you're feeling blue, tired, bored, etc., what's something a customer can do (or has done) to make your day a little brighter?

Why?

The worst disease of all. A rope is tied around my heart.
Endless looping of my mind. Round and round and round..
When does this torture end? A hopeless battle of my conscience against this demon.
Weakness, hope, anger, shame.. Looping and looping.. The needle broke. Desperation is no longer just a word.
Unreturned love, the worst disease of all.
Now I understand the men that went insane. I now know the pain.

be truthful, please. Someone asked a question that couldn't be answered by an average "JOE" and got all upset because I gave them a little grief instead of an answer.

for me, it was that one brief second that i saw my brother standing in the doorway of the hospital cafeteria. my father was upstairs, fighting for his life. looking at my brother, i just knew what he was going to say even before he said it. and it was also at that moment that i knew i would no longer have my father there with me. to laugh with. to talk to the tv with. to sit and drink ice tea with on warm summer evenings. all that scared the hell out of me.

I have made a prediction that there is going to large calamity with in the next 20 years.

All of us are bombarded with extreme responsibilities, more than we used to have years ago.
Everything we do is converted into an excuse for other people to complain about our behaviour.
So we are under ever increasing pressure and not onloy is it making us ill, but we cannot perform enough tasks to keep up.
The people who put pressure on us also have the same problem, who is turn have the same problem.
It is all coming from the government altimatly.

If thsi continues, we will not be able to sustain the ecomony, the health system, education, safety and workplace conditions, and eventually the government.

This means that the world economy will eventually crash, money will become meaningless as we want be able to keep track of it.
Hospitals will not be able to perform with in the rules and people will die.
Schools will close and businesses will be destroyed.

A lot of weird things have been happening to me lately. One example is when I was out to dinner with my parents, I asked them if it is worse to be blind or deaf. They said blind. 5 minutes later, a blind guy walked by our table, and he wasn't in the restaurant when I asked. I told my dad that someone we saw looked like an actor from a movie but it wasn't actually on. When I get home, I start flipping through the channels, and that movie was in with the actor. We were eating dinner, and the Yankees were playing and we were listening to it in the radio before we went into the restaurant. All of a sudden out of nowhere I say, "I know they just lost." I told my dad to look at his watch in case they did lose and see what time the game ended. I was right and one minute away.

Recently been watching Ally mc Beal for the first time and she obviously has an imiginary world in her head, somewhere where your are different and that you return to regulary, and this is portrayed as quite a strange thing in the programme. The thing is im kind of the same, close my eye and live out a different life. Does anyone else do this?

it seems like everybody in the world is going downhill with all thier problems and they post on yahoo answers to c if they can get help from somebody who they think can help them but really nobody is in the same problem as they are so they should really just solve the problem on their own. Why are people becoming so needy and dependant on others?

Personally, I believe it can bring out both the best and the worst in people. So why am I asking this question? To get your opinions, and to make you think. One of those questions that's not really a question...?
The Religion and Spirituality section makes me sad because it seems so full of hatred and viciousness. I think it's the meanest section of Answers I've been to. Why?
In my lifetime, there seems to have been a rise in religious intolerance and rigidity all across the world. Why? And where are we heading with it? Is it going to destroy us?
Way to go, humanity! Made extinct through warring about God! Sorry for the cynicism, but ow!!! seeing all this is painful!
