Ego is how we feel about ourselves...the bigger the ego the more fragile it is...dump half of it and you've dumped a heavy burden..can become more of a free spirit...
Being completely self absorbed will also keep one in fear of what others are thinking of them etc....so getting over oneself and being more interested in others and the world outside one's head will soon make short work of that fear/ego...
..then again....If we didnt' have an ego we wouldn't care and we'd all look like naked half mad gorillas....and be very antisocial. I It keeps us presentable... so by extention approachable.....
Again...I've never really read anything on this..so just my thoughts...
An emotion isn't for our entertainment..it's there to protect us and make us act in the event of danger or potential danger.....fear- fight or flight...love - safe..hate -en guard....it's all about the preservation of self..and of course, the most important thing....propogation of the species...hence all those lovely emotions... love and attraction etc..
I'm no expert on this..just my thoughts on the matter...
Yep....everything is basically energy alright. ..E=mc^2 (Energy = mass x speed of light squared) which tells us mass is just energy... in a different form...a manifestation if you will...
Oh it's far more complex ..and interesting Cirlip.. Emotion is controlled by the amygdala...it's commonly seen as our primitive brain and hasn't evolved as fast as our rational brain....it doesn't have language so has no way to communicate with our rational thinking brain . The only way it can tell us it's state is through our emotions..feelings...etc...
.This is why there's no talking to someone who's being emotional....they literally can't think with two parts of the brain at the same time because of how differently they work......and if the emotional brain is being the loudest the rational brain quietened (for want of a better phrase)....and why it's pointless telling people (when they're in a rational state and not emotional) how to behave when their emotions are heightened...the primitive brain is more powerful and just simply takes over.....it's obviously a lot more complex than that and yes chemicals are always involved..but that's the bones of it...I'm not up to date so there maybe more up to date info online..
They probably meant playing games with each other's hearts/minds... I've seen friends (male and female) be "gamed" by lots of people from online dating sites...
And sometimes just being unsure what one wants, or feeling hurried/pushed into something they may not want and not being honest can often be interpreted as playing games too...
Most poeple just want to love and feel loved..but we're so messy about it people end up getting hurt unintentionally...
No I don't believe anything you said except that Zelensky was previously a comedian, a well known fact that seems new to you.
The proud Ukrainian people willing to take up arms to protect their country are supported worldwide.
I traveled in Scotland on a package tour years ago. Beautiful land and I have a full appreciation of single malt but stop and consider your history which has not experienced conflict since forever.
You don't believe it...Why would I make it up? I've no reason to..It was on the tv, for everyone to see..so whether you believe it or not is a moot point....
What has Scotland's history got to do with what's going on in Ukraine??
I'm not scottish Intothewoods, I'm Irish, I only moved here mid lockdown....
there are a few here in Scotland but not half enough if you ask me...about one or two in 100 I'd say...but in Europe they're much more common, in fact I'm driven around in one when I'm there and in electric mode it's lovely, it's like floating on a cloud...
God no, you've nothing to be sorry about Sel..i was just kidding...sorry, very Irish tongue in cheek sense of hmour me...it doesn't translate well in text
