Are secrets good or not? Well, like many other things, it's a matter of degree and appropriateness, there are healthy secrets and unhealthy secrets. An example of an unhealthy secret might be not telling a child about something which has hurt us deeply, for instance if a person we were close to has died. We think we'll be sp... More..
All human beings dream, even animals dream. People who say they don't simply don't remember their dreams. There's nothing wrong with that, the subconscious mind continues to do its work whether we're aware of it or not, just as our heart pumps blood through our body every minute of our lives, while we might feel it beating o...

Its only a virtual fling, nothing serious.. Or so we tell ourselves, and others. But if you know anything about life, you'll know that thoughts create reality, or to put it another way, where our attention goes our energy follows, and if we keep it up for long enough so will our body. And the damage? On some inner level our ... More..
A classic experiment in psychology which illustrates the mechanism and effect of learned helplessness is that of the dog in the cage with an electrified floor. At first there is a safe area of floor which is not electrified, then the safe area is moved, and finally no part of the floor is safe and the dog receives random sho... More..

In my opinion the most important question about the theory of reincarnation, or reincarnation itself, is this: of what use is it to us in our lives now? As with many things people have beliefs one way or the other and to all degrees in between. The funny thing is, either a belief in reincarnation or a non-belief may give us ... More..
I'm not going to mention specific diets, because I believe there is no one size fits all where diets are concerned. Some people try a diet because others have found it effective, but when they try it they fail. *They* fail. They attribute the lack of success to themselves rather than saying oh well, that diet was inappropria... More..
Young men are drawn to older women for much the same reasons that young women are drawn to older men: physical attraction, maturity, wealth, experience, wisdom, the excitement of something new. But these relationships often don't last, so just how serious are the people who enter into them? One thing that makes a relationshi... More..
Well it may help to avoid our ex, or it may not, and it will certainly help to stay busy and focus on something positive, but since we're talking here about what not to do.. 1.
