    The Dangers of Getting Only One Point of View

    November 18, 2016 / No Comments

    Black-and-white rigidity is actually one of many symptoms of people with borderline personality disorder. The Dangers of Getting Only One Point of View by David Mills Experts say people who only seek out information that backs up their opinions may become angrier, less empathic, and unable to have meaningful relationships. On electoral maps, Democratic states are portrayed as blue. Republican states are represented by red. However, it appears the ardent supporters of both parties are only willing to see things in black and white.

    Cosplay: the Beautiful Truth About Donning a Costume

    June 6, 2015 / 1 Comment

    How To Stop Bad Dreams In 7 Steps, Because Nightmares Are No Fun

    May 17, 2015 / No Comments

    A lot of psychological issues — like PTSD and borderline personality disorder — cause sufferers to have frequent vivid nightmares. How To Stop Bad Dreams In 7 Steps, Because Nightmares Are No Fun GABRIELLE MOSS Most of us grapple with nightmares as kids — but becoming an adult doesn’t automatically make us stop having bad dreams. In fact, researchers estimate that three-quarters of all of our dreams are nightmares, even if we don’t live anywhere near Elm Street — we just usually don’t remember our dreams after we wake up. And if you’re one of the five to 10 percent of adults who have at least more than one nightmare…

    April 2, 2013 / No Comments

    I really like the book Zen Shorts, which is a children’s book about Zen and Zen stories. There are 3 stories in the book and this is my favorite, which is about resentments and hanging on to negative feelings: Two traveling monks reached a town where there was a young woman waiting to step out of her sedan chair. The rains had made deep puddles and she couldn’t step across without spoiling her silken robes. She stood there, looking very cross and impatient. She was scolding her attendants.
