“Questioning our own motives, and our own process, is critical to a skeptical and scientific outlook. We must realize that the default mode of human psychology is to grab onto comforting beliefs for purely emotional reasons, and then justify those beliefs to ourselves with post-hoc rationalizations.” HumansReasonReligionBeliefProcessRealizingPsychologyAtheismEmotionalCriticalPostsMotiveJustifyQuestioningOutlookComfortingSkepticalDefault Author:Steven Novella
“The fields of clinical psychology and psychiatry exist specifically to help the emotionally unstable become more stable and lead happier, healthier lives. Unlike in the eras of Vincent Van Gogh and Abraham Lincoln, there is now professional help available for those who suffer from emotional illness. Treatment may require therapy or even medication, but hope is now available every single day in practically every city in the civilized world.” WorldMayHelpingSufferingCitiesPsychologyFieldsEmotionalIllnessAvailableErasTherapyTreatmentCivilizedStableVansPsychiatryAbrahamMedicationUnstableClinicalsHealthier LifeEmotionally Unstable Book:Find Out Who's Normal and Who's Not: The Proven System to Quickly Assess Anyone's Emotional Stability Source: Find Out Who's Normal and Who's Not: The Proven System to Quickly Assess Anyone's Emotional Stability
“At the end of the day, it's all one version of telling a story. I treated this as if it was a two million dollar independent film. I did a lot more physical work than I'd probably have to do for a two million dollar independent film with four months of training and stuff. But as far as the character's psychology or emotional life goes, I treat it just the same.” IfsTwoEndsCharacterStoriesFilmStuffMillionsPsychologyFourEmotionalMonthsTrainingTreatsIndependentDollarsTreatedVersionsThe End Of The DayMillion DollarsIndependent FilmEmotional Life Author:Colin Farrell
“I didn't want to be around anybody because it was just too much for my brain. But, as an actress, you hope you get those meaty roles that push you into the extremities of that psychology. I like doing independent films because there's more room for you to be creative, and the director allowed me to just go wherever I needed to go. It was emotional. I had to cry a lot.” WantFilmRoomsBrainRolesCreativePsychologyToo MuchCryEmotionalNeededDirectorsIndependentActressesBe CreativeIndependent FilmExtremity Author:Tinsel Korey
“We are separated from one another by an unbridgeable gulf of otherness and strangeness which resists all our attempts to overcome it by means of natural association or emotional or spiritual union. There is no way from one person to another. However loving and sympathetic we try to be, however sound our psychology however frank and open our behaviour we cannot penetrate the incognito of the other man, for there are no direct relationships, not even between soul and soul. Christ stands between us, and we can only get into touch with our neighbors through Him.” MenWayTryingMeanPersonsSoulSpiritualSoundChristNaturalPsychologyEmotionalDirectOvercomingUnionsNeighborAssociationFrankBehaviourPenetrateSympatheticStrangenessOtherness Author:Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Whenever Muslim women protest and ask for their rights, they are silenced with the argument that the laws are justified under Islam. It is an unfounded argument. It is not Islam at fault, but rather the patriarchal culture that uses its own interpretations to justify whatever it wants. It utilizes psychology to say that women are emotional. It utilizes medical science to say that men's brains are formed in such a way that they are better able to understand concepts. These are all hypotheses. None of this has been proven.” CultureBrainPsychologyEmotionalArgumentIslamMedicalJustifyProtestJustified Author:Shirin Ebadi
