“Lawyers have a way of seeing that sets them apart from the rest of us. In some way this special vision makes them invaluable, and in other ways, repulsive. Lawyers are much more focused on rational, logical, and objective criteria to the exclusion of the emotional, subjective, and sometimes irrational reponses to the world. Moreover, lawyers like to show no emotion, and possess a particular disdain for the emotions that are found in others, which has the quality of making them seem inhuman.” WorldWaySometimesShowsSeemsFoundEmotionQualityVisionSeeingSpecialEmotionalParticularFocusedLawyerObjectivesRationalLogicalIrrationalSubjectiveCriteriaExclusionDisdainInhumanInvaluable Author:Thane Rosenbaum
“But veteran lawmakers torn apart by PTSD don't have a choice about being Exhibit A in the case against Washington politics. When you see what can happen to a page or a junior congressman, it passes on in a very real way, not in a history-class sense, that reality of what political power really is, .. Who are we to impose this emotional albatross on public servants? As a nation, we pretend to elect our leaders. It seems unjust to make them a special class to suffer for our sins over wrongheaded laws, or pay a continuing emotional price for securing their future careers.” WayRealRealitySeemsHappensLawPoliticalSufferingChoicesNationsSinPayLeaderClassCareersCasesSpecialEmotionalPagesServantContinuingUnjustTornVeteranPtsdJuniorsExhibitsPolitical PowerCongressmanPublic ServantsLawmakersTorn ApartAlbatrossHistory ClassFuture Careers Author:Leon Kass
“In many ways, large profits are even more insidious than large losses in terms of emotional destabilization. I think it's important not to be emotionally attached to large profits. I've certainly made some of my worst trades after long periods of winning. When you're on a big winning streak, there's a temptation to think that you're doing something special, which will allow you to continue to propel yourself upward. You start to think that you can afford to make shoddy decisions. You can imagine what happens next. As a general rule, losses make you strong and profits make you weak.” ThinkingWayLongMadeImportantBigsHappensNextWinningStrongTermLossDecisionImagineWorstSpecialEmotionalPeriodsWeakTradeProfitTemptationSomething SpecialStreaksInsidious Author:William Eckhardt

“laughter, that distinctively human emotion, laughter which springs from trust in the other, from willingness to put oneself momentarily in the other's place, even at one's own expense, is the special emotional basis of democratic procedures, just as pride is the emotion of an aristocracy, shame of a crowd that rules, and fear of a police state.” HumansStatesEmotionDemocracySpecialEmotionalPrideSpringLaughterBasesPoliceShameDemocraticOneselfCrowdsExpensesWillingnessProceduresAristocracyPolice StateHuman Emotions Author:Margaret Mead

“In undeveloped social groups, we find very little formal teaching and training. Savage groups mainly rely for instilling needed dispositions into the young upon the same sort of association which keeps adults loyal to their group. They have no special devices, material, or institutions for teaching save in connection with initiation ceremonies by which the youth are inducted into full social membership. For the most part, they depend upon children learning the customs of the adults, acquiring their emotional set and stock of ideas, by sharing in what the elders are doing.” ChildrenLittlesIdeasYoungSocialGroupsTeachingSpecialYouthEmotionalMaterialsDependsNeededTrainingAdultsConnectionsInstitutionsRelyDevicesCustomsAssociationLoyalSavagesFormalDispositionCeremonyEldersMembershipInitiationChildren LearningSocial Groups Book:Democracy and Education - An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education Source: Democracy and Education - An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education
