Online discourse: "You have to convince me to vote for Joe #Biden"
Why? I don't like Joe Biden. The idea that anyone has to convince you to fall in love with Joe Biden is as absurd of a #political assertion as the #MAGA cult and #Trump, that #politics is about #passion
It's also the height of #privilege and #entitlement, that you don't have to care about your #trans compatriots, you don't have to care about the #climate, that you don't have to care about #women and their right to control their own body, etc. You're going to assert your single issue, to the exclusion of all other issues, and even go backwards on that one issue
Neonatal male circumcision is associated with altered adult socio-affective processing.
Miani et al. (2020) Heliyon
Men who experienced early penile circumcision showed
-more anxious and avoidant attachment styles.
-higher levels of perceived stress.
-higher levels of sensation seeking.
The negative consequences of nonconsensual circumcision are whole-person and last the whole lifetime.
"Dreaming helps prioritize and diminish the severity of emotionally charged memories. Participants who reported dreaming had better recall and were less reactive to negative images.
The research suggests that dreams actively transform emotional responses by reducing next-day emotional reactivity. This could lead to interventions that enhance dreaming to aid emotional processing."
I suggest that we watch the Indian movie The Broken Table. This compact masterpiece has a subtle and a profund message which left a lasting impression in my mind within a duration of 23 minutes and fifty two seconds. I do not want to reveal the details. Let the viewer discover the healing perspectives of our emotional dilemmas in this sensitive movie.
The movie has excellent English subtitles and, hence, language should not be a barrier. Since the film touches on the depths of the universal human experience, overcoming linguistic and cultural limitations, I am confident that it will appeal to the international audience.
As I get older I admit more that I actually do have emotions.
Just not very good at showing them.
I truly was emotionally compromised this week after hearing that my workmate of about 25 years, Debbie Amburgey, had passed away. That hit me hard. Still does. #Emotions#EmotionallyCompromised#Spock
What different things are considered emotionally exhausting?
Pretty much what the title asks!
