Life's Bouquet
The author of this report has been asked to answer some philosophical and opinion-based questions about the people and experiences that happen in one's life. Indeed, there are those people in our life that are "flowers" and there are those that are much closer to resembling "weeds" or otherwise a nuisance. The author of this report will identify some of the weeds and flowers in the author's own life as well as identify how the author identifies and "connects" with the author of Life's Bouquet. Whether the different types of "plants" in the author's life will be labeled as good, bad or a part of life learning that we all must endure. Questions about emotion, logic and reason will be answered to as well. While negative aspects of life including people and events are sometimes unavoidable, there always has to be a point where the relevant lessons are learned and the ability to move on is realized because doing otherwise is debilitating and self-defeating.
Analysis
There are indeed people in the author's life that are flowers and there are definitely also people that have been weeds. However, the specific status for a given person is not always static and consistent and some people are quite obviously keeping their intentions and motives hidden to at least some degree. Other times, there is outright deception but this is not immediately clear. When it comes to emotions vs. logic, the latter is obviously the way to go when it comes to assessing life and how to move through it but this can exceedingly difficult when dealing with certain situations or people. Just as an easy example, what makes sense from...
No one can compensate the parents who lost their children to after-effects of an atomic explosion. This war and several others that followed opened doors for more military conflicts and greater destruction of the so-called enemy. Who is our enemy? If people of the other countries are our enemies, why are we ever taught not to discriminate? For surely when the war begins, we have to give up all that we
He notes that at the time of the novel's publication, there was growing concern and distrust for unregulated scientific experimentation. He claims that these beliefs "so successfully dominated the cultural sphere that the word "Frankenstein" was soon used to refer to the creature created by the scientist rather than the scientist himself. Frankenstein, therefore, became the monstrous and supernatural offspring of the practices of science" (Willis 236). Mellor suggests
What is intrinsic regarding this definition of evil is the value that ressentiment has upon it. Ressentiment is a term widely used by Nietzsche and other philosophers (such as Kierkegaard) to refer to the notion of resentment -- which can take many forms including jealousy and other forms of subjugation -- influencing a particular moral perception. Because the weak were oppressed by and opposed to the depredation of the strong,

Life of Psychology Understanding and tolerance of the behavior of other people As a psychologist, I always do not do what I would like to do. My intended thoughts and behavior are blocked by the behavior of other people. I believe that my behaviors and thoughts are a result of various forces such as pushing and pulling me in different directions. However, I rarely apply the concept of reinforcement and I decry
Life Coach As singer and entertainer Bobby Sherman once remarked, "As far as show business, it's the gratification of doing something that pleases the fans ("Brainy Quote")." As I have seen in so many representations of modern culture in my life, long-term effects are eschewed in favor of immediate results and the deciding factors, more often than not, are economic.
