More From Karen Duffy

I think many people with a chronic illness would prefer not to have their chronic illness, simply because it's high maintenance.
Thinking People Maintenance
If a person measures his spiritual fulfillment in terms of cosmic visions, surpassing peace of mind, or ecstasy, then he is not likely to know much spiritual fulfillment. if, however, he measures it in terms of enjoying a sunrise, being warmed by a child's smile, or being able to help someone have a better day, then he is likely to know much spiritual fulfillment.

One strand of psychotherapy is certainly to help relieve suffering, which is a genuine medical concern. if someone is bleeding, you want to stop the bleeding. another medical aspect is the treatment of chronic complaints that are disabling in some way. and many of our troubles are chronic. life is chronic. so there is a reasonable, sensible, medical side to psychotherapy.
Suffering Want Bleeding
Four times, under our educational rules, the human pack is shuffled and cut - at eleven-plus, sixteen-plus, eighteen-plus and twenty-plus - and happy is he who comes top of the deck on each occasion, but especially the last. this is called finals, the very name of which implies that nothing of importance can happen after it.
Educational Cutting Names
The interesting products out on the internet today are not building new technologies. they're combining technologies. instagram, for instance: photos plus geolocation plus filters. foursquare: restaurant reviews plus check-ins plus geo.

Emotional self-control is not the same as overcontrol, the stifling of all feeling and spontaneity....when such emotional suppression is chronic, it can impair thinking, hamper intellectual performance and interfere with smooth social interaction. by contrast, emotional competence implies we have a choice as to how we express our feelings.

The important thing is being capable of emotions, but to experience only one's own would be a sorry limitation.
Sorry Emotional Justice
You don't have to be kind. you have to be calm. once you start showing that people can affect your emotions, then you obviously don't have that much power. if a stewardess can affect your emotional life, then you don't have any power in life and you just showed your whole hand.
Emotional Hands People
I'm into people's emotional lives and relationships and the complications of living. that's my turf.
Emotional People Complication
Now the truth is, writing is a great way to deal with a lot of difficult emotional issues. it can be very therapeutic, but that's best done in your journal, or on your blog if you're an exhibitionist. trying to put a bunch of *specific* stuff from your personal life into your story usually just isn't appropriate unless you're writing a memoir or a personal essay or something of the sort.
