Very much so! Very proud to be her mother

And yes, I totally understand why and how people who "have been to hell and back" a few times would have insights and tools and notions and empathy and compassion and an understanding that people who "only studied" could never match. It sounds like an amazing team. Someone who has experienced it with someone who has studied it and can make a certain medical sense of it ... It's such a giant step forward that instead of being stigmatised, people who have "walked the gauntlet" are being valued and their experiences validated in service to help others going through similar difficult times.

Many of the homeless people suffer from addictions and or mental illness or PTSD

RE: Is it fair...,...????

Oh! Yeah!!!!! Always been my dream to hang out with a boyfriend 20 years older than me who's closer to my Dad's age than to my own

But then I checked your profile and it says I'm out of your preferred age range!!!! And even though you're 79, you want someone who's between 40 and 52!!! I'm so gutted!!!

RE: Is it fair...,...????

She's not employed. She's a volunteer for now. But may be one day ... I went with her and helped out while I was visiting last... she is so amazing and patient and non judgemental and so kind. I'm so proud of how she turned her life around

They must have heard of your secret weapon and the potential damage your "engage mouth/typing index before brain" could cause ...

Why would Amnesty International be involved unless there was "something" that hasn't been made public knowledge?

RE: Is it fair...,...????

I feel compelled to share that ...

My daughter, who lives in England, volunteers a couple of times a week for one of the Churches associations where by they set up a space in the church hall to welcome anyone who's fallen on hard times or is homeless or lonely.

They provide warm drinks and food very very cheap and have donated foods ( to take away if necessary) and clothes for them to get changed into if they're dirty or wearing inadequate clothes for the weather/season.

They also set up all the tables with games and crafts and activities so that everyone has a socialising experience if they want to.

My daughter feels she wants to support people who are having a hard time now that she is able to, following her victorious battle with mental illness. It's her way of giving back to a society that took care of her while she was ill.

People can make a difference in other people's lives irrespective of how the governments handle it ...

Illegal immigrants with an army of lawyers? ... makes you wonder why they picked the UK if they're that well off... they could just be living it up in some sunny place like Spain where you only need a few 1000's in the bank to get instant residency ...

Must be your natural English charisma they're after Tom!!!

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

Ohhhhh!
Not had a look at the blogs for ages ... might go have a read

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

That means nothing and doesn't explain how C. Jung's insight impacted you!
Yet you are demanding of others that they share how it impacted them!

Walk your talk Pedro!!

RE: The Most Memorable Date

Had many dates over the years. Very different ones from the other ... many as worthy as another in their own way ...

... rather than recreate any past experience, I'd rather create new experiences with new memories of "unforgettable moments"

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

Hey you!!!

Yeah! I go quiet into myself (regularly) every so often

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

In what way did you find it insightful?

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

You haven't either Pedro...

You quoted C. Jung then the comment you made (which sounded like you didn't know his work) prompted all sorts of other comments...

May be if you engage us with your perception of the contents of the quote you can start the discussion rolling!!!

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

Not been in the EU forums for yonks ...

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

Cool!!! It's been years since I took one of these .. thanks

To not be strangers to ourself is such a peaceful place to reach even if we hop out of it every so often

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

Some of these deeply resonate with me

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

Yeah!!! They worked together for a while!!!

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

And if he was it would have been his ghost. He died in 61

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

If he was it would have been part of one of his studies

RE: The deep thinker---Carl Jung---->

Sorry Pedro but to describe C. Jung's work as "great ideas and quotes" is to have very little idea on his work .... A psychiatrist and psychologist doesn't share "ideas". He was a key figure in the development of psychoanalysis and the founder of analytical psychology. His work was influential in many fields and not limited to psychiatry.

I really find his work on anima and animus interesting amongst other subjects. The anima is the unconscious feminine side of a man and the animus is the unconscious masculine side of a woman.
His wife Emma Jung wrote a really good book on the subject. "Animus and Anima".

Also interesting his work on the collective unconscious, archetypes, synchronicity and shadow amongst others.

I can relate to C. Jung's work way more than any of Freud's work.

RE: Do you consider yourself ''lucky'' in some ways?

In some ways that can be considered lucky, but money doesn't protect from terminal illnesses or fatal accidents or buy authentic people or authentic love ...

I guess it depends on people's values how lucky they feel ...
