“What has soul in it differs from what has not, in that the former displays life. Now this word has more than one sense, and provided any one alone of these is found in a thing we say that thing is living. Living, that is, may mean thinking or perception or local movement and rest, or movement in the sense of nutrition, decay and growth. Hence we think of plants also as living, for they are observed to possess in themselves an originative power through which they increase or decrease in all spatial directions.” ThinkingMayMeanSoulFoundGrowthMovementPerceptionIncreasePlantLocalsFormerDisplayNutritionDecayDecreaseSpatial Book:The Aristotle Collection [50 Books] Source: The Aristotle Collection [50 Books]
“The ensouled is distinguished from the unsouled by its being alive. Now since being alive is spoken of in many ways, even if only one of these is present, we say that the thing is alive, if, for instance, there is intellect or perception or spatial movement and rest or indeed movement connected with nourishment and growth and decay. It is for this reason that all the plants are also held to be alive . . .” IfsWaySoulReasonGrowthAliveMovementPerceptionPlantConnectedIntellectInstanceDecayDistinguishedNourishmentSpatial Author:Aristotle
“The basic issue of an American society which is fair, which is providing opportunity for all, is nowadays being replaced by the correct perception that we're living in a rigged economy - where it doesn't matter how hard you worked, the result will be all the income goes to the people at the very top. It's leading to a lot of frustration and anger, and people want some fundamental changes to the way we do economics and growth.” PeopleWayWantMatterHardOpportunityGrowthResultsEconomyIssuesPerceptionFairsEconomicsFundamentalsIncomeFrustrationProvidingReplacedAmerican SocietyRigged Author:Bernie Sanders
“Each of our cells is a living entity, and the main thing that influences them is our blood. If I open my eyes in the morning and my beautiful partner is in front of me, my perception causes a release of oxytocin, dopamine, growth hormones - all of which encourage the growth and health of my cells. But if I see a saber tooth tiger, I'm going to release stress hormones which change the cells to a protection mode. People need to realize that their thoughts are more primary than their genes, because the environment, which is influenced by our thoughts, controls the genes.” PeopleIfsNeedsEyeBeautifulCausesGrowthRealizingMorningEnvironmentBloodInfluenceFrontsPerceptionStressProtectionPartnersTeethReleaseCellsPrimariesGenesEntityOur ThoughtsTigersHormonesDopamineOxytocinGrowth HormonesStress Release Author:Bruce H.

“I feel like people focus too much on what other people think of their lives and trying to appear like they have it all together rather than focusing on just being happy.

“I was at the World Bank and a commission reviewed our work on inequality for the U.S. Congress or somebody, and the head of the commission said to us: "You are spending taxpayer money to study issues like inequality? Which goes directly against capitalism and growth." That was the perception, that it should not be studied.” WorldGrowthStudyPerceptionCapitalismInequality Author:Branko Milanovic
