Childhood Development: Are Some People Born To Fulfil A Role That Their Caregivers Had Planned For Them?

In ancient Greece, Sparta was a prominent city-state where boys were trained to be warriors. When a boy reached six or seven, he was removed from his parents home and sent to military school where he began the ’agoge.’ In order for these boys to become fearless warriors, they had to go through a ‘brutal training period.’ Taking all this into account, it is clear that these boys had absolutely no say as to what they would do with their life. It Was All Planned

Critical Thinking: Does Someone Suffer From Xenophobia If They Are Against Open Borders?

Due to the fact that a number of countries in Middle East have been disrupted by the establishment, it has meant that a lot of people have been displaced. Before this happened, people were told that these countries were basically a threat to their survival, which meant that something needed to be done about them.

Sexuality: Can Someone’s Early Years Have An Effect On What Turns Them On As An Adult?

As an adult, someone can believe that the things that arouse them are just the things that arouse them, and that all there is to it. However, what this wouldn’t take into account is the part that their early years may have played in why something in particular has this effect on them. If, for example, someone had some kind of fetish, this may cause them to wonder how they ended up this way. Then again, this could also just be seen as being part of who they are, with them being born this way. One Experience

Trauma: Are Some People Trying To Heal Trauma By Changing Their Thoughts?

If someone ends up getting into self-development, it can be a sign that their mind is their own worst enemy. So, instead of this part of them giving them the support and encouragement that they need, it will be doing the complete opposite. This part of them could have the tendency to produce negative thoughts and to continually construct negative scenarios. For as long as they can remember, this part of them may have tormented them.

“I Kept Having Nightmares!”

During the beginning of my life, I remember having two reoccurring dreams. In one of the dreams, I would be at the top of a flight of stairs and shortly after, I would fall down the stairs. And in the other dream, or should I say nightmare, it was as though I was surrounded by everyone on the planet. Their attention, and the attention of the world itself, would be directed towards me.

Relationships: Does Someone Have A False Sense Of Importance When They Always Expect Others To Change?

If one is in a position where someone else’s behaviour was having a negative effect on them, they could look into why this is taking place. This can then be a time when one will reflect on what is going on exte ally and what is going on internally. Two Parts What this can show is that one realises that there is what happens exte ally and then there is how their inner world interprets what happens. Consequently, this is going to stop them from completely focusing on what someone does.

“Are You Happy?”

There has been times in my life when I have been asked if I was happy, and this has often been followed by me feeling somewhat perplexed. When I have been asked this, part of me has felt as though I should say yes, while another part of me hasn’t wanted to say anything. The reason for this is that I don’t aspire to be happy, far from it; that’s not to say that I do everything I can to be unhappy, though. For me, the purpose of life is to live a fulfilling life – that’s what matters. Meaning

“I Learnt How Dangerous It Was To Have A Closed Mind!”

When I first got into self-development, about a year I left school, I wanted to share what I had learnt with my family. But although I was extremely curious and wanted to find out as much as I could, my family were not really interested. After talking about what I had learnt and being put down on numerous occasions, I started to limit how often I would talk about this kind of stuff. My granddad would often say that I should be a politician. Other Times

Why Do You Want To Achieve Something?

Now that a New Year has just begun, there is a lot being said about goals and making this a year that is unlike any other. This is something that you may have heard online and/or something that the people in your life have spoken about. When I hear anything like this, it makes me think about something that a good friend of mine asked me a number of years ago. This friend, Wain Gordon, asked me why I wanted to achieve something.

Child Abuse: Can Someone Feel As Though They Are Betraying Their Parents If They Talk About Their Abuse?

If, after coming to see that they were abused and/or neglected during their early years, someone might feel the need to talk about what they went through. At this stage, they might not feel comfortable speaking to one or both of their parents about it. Still, although they can have this need, it doesn’t mean that they will take the next step. They could worry about what another person will think of them if they open up about their early experiences. Resistance

Mother Wounds: Can A Man Be Disconnected From His Need For Human Connection If He Had A Neglectful Mother?

Unsurprisingly, human beings need human connection in order to be at their best. This is something that will have an effect on someone’s mental, emotional and physical health. The reason why it is not a surprise is that human beings are interdependent; they are not independent. This, however, can be hard for a lot of people to accept if they live in a society that creates the impression that people are their own island and don’t need anyone. Resistance

Relationships: Why Are Some People Emotionally Dependent On Their Partner?

In today’s world, it is not uncommon for someone to say that they need to be with another person in order to feel complete. Yet, even if they don’t say this explicitly, their behaviour could say this implicitly. Popular Culture When it comes to films, music and TV shows, this is a theme that is often played out in one way or another. Someone is then not a whole human being; they are missing part of themselves.

Relationships: Is It A Good Idea For Someone To Ask Themselves Why They Want To Rescue Another Person?

This could be a time when they will listen to what is going on for them and offer their advice. Then again, this might not be enough, and they could offer to take them out for the day instead. Or, they might take them out and give them advice whilst they are spending time together. One Part

How To Stay Humble On The Spiritual Path

For many, many years I have wondered why there are people on this planet who are aware and people who are not aware. More specifically, I have thought about why there are people who are abusive and people who are not. Now, clearly just about everyone acts in ways that are destructive from time to time, but there is a big difference between doing this and being an abusive person. This relates to someone who routinely abuses their children or their spouse, for instance. The Reason

Relationships: Is Someone Out Of Balance If They Rescue Others?

While some people take the time to be there for themselves and to be there for others, there are others who don’t. If someone can relate to the former, they are not going to have the tendency to neglect themselves; whereas if they can relate to the latter, this will be the norm. Two Options The trouble is that when someone is focused on other people’s needs, they can believe that there are only have two options. Either they focus on themselves or they focus on others, and focusing on themselves is going to be seen as being selfish.

Relationships: Can A Lack Of Emotional Intelligence Cause Someone To Cheat?

There are a number of things that can have a negative effect on a relationship and, while some of these things can be the result of what is taking place within, there can be others that are due to what is taking place without. When it comes to the former, it can be due to inner conflict, with what is taking place between two people causing tension. On the other hand, when it comes to the latter, what is going on exte ally could be creating tension. A New Opportunity

Critical Thinking: Does Someone Need To Be Mindful If They Pay Attention To The Mainstream Media?

For many people around the world, paying attention to the mainstream media is part of life. It is then not something that they need to think about doing; it is merely something that they do. Most, if not all, of these people, will have probably been this way since they were very small. Their caregivers would have most likely done the same thing, which is why they behave in the same way.

Vulnerability: Do Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Have A Fear Of Being Vulnerable?

It could be said that in order for someone to grow and to develop, they will need to feel comfortable with being vulnerable. The reason for this is that if someone has the need to protect themselves, they are not going to open themselves up to life. Their main priority will be to do everything they can to keep everything the same and therefore, it will be vital to keep anything that is new or different at bay. But, while living in this way will allow them to feel comfortable, it will also set them up to live in a prison without bars. A Predictable Existence

Does The Film ‘Joker’ Show What Can Happen If Someone Was Abused As A Child?

A few days ago I had the chance to watch ‘Joker’ and I must say that this was an intense film. I thought the story was solid, the acting was stupendous, and the score worked nicely too. Unlike so many of the other superhero films, this was very lifelike. I would even go as far as to say that if someone didn’t know that the Joker was from a comic book before they watched the film, they might not realise that his was the case after they had watched the film.

Empowerment: Do Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Feel Comfortable With Feeling Powerless?

When someone is an empowered human being, they will know that they do have an effect on their life. In each moment of their life they will have the ability to decide how they will behave, and they will be able to decide the meaning that they give to what takes place. One is then going to see that even if they can’t change something, they can still control the impact it has on them. Thus, the control that they lack exte ally will be made up by the control that they have internally. Moving On

Free Speech: Is It Dangerous For Someone To Think Critically In Today's World?

If someone goes along with the status quo, it is unlikely that they will have to worry about saying the wrong thing. Through accepting what they have been told by the mainstream media, politicians, and what they have learned whilst they were in the education system, amongst other things, they will have the ‘right’’ thoughts and ‘right’ way of looking at the world.

A gardener will achieve this outcome by only planting certain seeds.r

Self-Hate: What Can Happen When Someone Disconnects From Their Own Self-Hatred?

Is someone hated themselves, and they were to embrace how they feel, it would undoubtedly have a negative effect on their wellbeing. In the same way that filling a boat up with water would cause it to sink, embracing their self-hate would most likely cause them to sink. It would end up being more or less impossible for them to feel good about themselves, causing them to feel down and even depressed. This would end up becoming an experience that they are accustomed to. Two Sides

True-Self: Can Someone Leave Their Body When They Don’t Feel Safe?

For some people, the title of this article might sound a bit strange, and it could be said that this is not going to be much of a surprise. After all, it can seem more or less impossible for someone to ‘leave their body’. To be human means having a body and, if someone lost this part of them, they would die. Based on this, it is not going to be possible for someone to leave their body and end up as just a head. Another Angle

Are You Buying Into Someone Else's Narrative?

If someone was to watch the news on TV or to read a paper, they are likely to hear about what is taking place in the world. It can seem as though the channel or paper is simply passing onto them what is taking place; nothing more, nothing less. This whole process will then be very similar to what is said about a sports match that has finished; what is said is likely to be an accurate account of what happened. In both cases, there will be no reason for someone to question what they are told. The Big Illusion

It can be easy for someone to believe that they wouldn’t know anything if it wasn’t for their time in the education system.

This would have given them the opportunity to find out what it is like and to see if it would be a good match for them.

I recently heard something that made me think about how destructive positive thinking can be.

Critical Thinking: Why Would A Man/Woman Be Against Masculinity?

For quite some time now, a lot has been said about so-called ‘toxic masculinity’ and now, ‘traditional masculinity’ has been targeted by the experts at the American Psychological Association (APA). Masculinity is then a problem and, if a man has any masculine traits, it will mean that he is also a problem. Based on this, the only way that a man will be able to redeem himself will be for him to cleanse his being of all masculine traits. In other words, the solution to his problem will be for him to become completely feminine. Confusion

If someone was abused and/or neglected when they were a child, it may be hard for them to reveal who they are now that they are an adult.

It has been said that a big part of success is simply turning up, and this shows how important it is to take the first step. If the first step is not taken, it won’t be possible for someone to get the ball rolling, so to speak. What typically stops someone from taking the first step is fear, and, once they have been able to take this step and to see that there is nothing to worry about, it will be a lot easier for them to keep going. The momentum will build and it can be as though they are rolling down a hill, whereas before it might have been as though were trying to roll up a hill.
