otherwise there wouldnt be tears, that someone is happy for you, and theyre crying maybe because all that youve been through
Tears of joy is really Tears of sadness sugarcoated?
Maybe it should be phrased %26quot;Tears of Sucession%26quot;. Happy that you%26#039;ve FINALLY succeeded, after all sad that crap.
Tears of joy is really Tears of sadness sugarcoated?
As a hysterical lycramorph, I tell you that any strong emotion can be expressed in tears.
Reply:of course not..they%26#039;re different from one another..
Reply:I don%26#039;t agree that tears of joy are sugarcoated tears of sadness. There are many joyful things in life that can bring tears of joy. I feel sad for you that you have not experienced these precious joyful moments. Hopefully you will in the future. I believe the strongest emotion is love.
Reply:sadness is not the strongest emotion for sure because sadness blinds the individual to do regrettable things. i%26#039;ve thought through and still haven%26#039;t stumbled onto the strongest emotion, but i think that the strongest emotion to be an emotion that doesn%26#039;t blind your judgment. and no to the tears thing because the joy is so strong that some people express it through tears. me personally i%26#039;ve never done that.
Reply:Often relief at hearing good news is like a coiled spring suddenly released and it seems you should be happy, which you are, but it is expressed in tears of relief. I had an experience in the hospital once that was life-threatening, I could have died, but I put up a brave face and endured it without complaining. After a few days of recovery the doctor came in and told me I could get dressed and go home. I was waiting in my room for my parents to come when I totally broke down and cried for fifteen minutes.
It took me a while to realize that it was a combination of gratitude, relief, homesickness, joy, reunion and leaving those nurses and orderlies who I had befriended.
Reply:I disagree. Tears are a release of emotion when you cannot contain them and they can be from joy, anger, or sadness, fear, anything really. They all feel differently.
When I held my daughter for the first time, I was overcome with joy and cried like a baby. I thought I was having a boy, the ultrasound and the Dr. and nurses were all wrong. I had two boys and home and really wanted a girl. I just couldn%26#039;t believe it when she was born. It was the greatest joy!

Explain this quote "for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so"?
We think some things are good...we think some things are bad.
If we were unable to think, there would be no good or bad.
Explain this quote %26quot;for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so%26quot;?
Nothing if inherently good or bad, just our opinion makes so.
Explain this quote %26quot;for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so%26quot;?
Not much to read into it for me. Just seems like it%26#039;s making a statement about perspectives, and how one can view something in life from many different points of view. For example, you losing a twenty dollar bill might be unfortunate. But if it was found by a destitute woman having difficulties providing for her family, she%26#039;d view your dollar dropping as a very fortunate event.
Reply:Humans have a judgmental brain. Everything is neutral.
Reply:The truth is that there is good and bad and thinking makes it so.
Reply:An action is not inherently good nor is it bad, but a thought about said action will make it either good or bad.
Reply:We are raised with opinions and beijg told how to behave and all that.
We are not born with the interpretaion of good or bad.
Death is natural, failure is natural and it is not bad, but we interprete it that way due to our up bringing.
Reply:It means that good and bad are a decison or choice derived at through thinking. X might happen. If on thinking about it, you might decide it was good. I might decide it was bad. The event happens without the judgment. that comes from us and through our thinking.
Reply:People make their own decisions on what is good and what is bad simply put
Reply:Good and bad don%26#039;t actually exist. They are ideas. As ideas, what you think determines, to you, if something is %26quot;good%26quot; or %26quot;bad.%26quot;
Reply:%26quot;There is no good, There is no bad. Just perspective and opinion%26quot;
My quote is the answer to your quote. Someone can think %26quot;This is bad%26quot; but another person can think %26quot;This is good%26quot; It%26#039;s not a fact its the way we think about it.

A longer version is, %26quot;Why then %26#039;tis none to you; for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. To me it is a prison.%26quot;

Reply:Yes....is explosives bad in itself.....no.....i used them in mining
Reply:The logic is as follows:
A universal truth is claimed: there is no Good nor Evil, indeed, even no %26quot;good or bad.%26quot; Rather, %26quot;thinking%26quot; determines all.
Notice that %26quot;thinking%26quot; is not necessarily %26quot;letting this Mind abide which was also in Christ Jesus%26quot; (Saint Paul). Rather, %26quot;thinking%26quot; is often construed as %26quot;your opinion, your feelings.%26quot; This is %26quot;good, God, in your image,%26quot; and there are no standards beyond what %26quot;you think.%26quot; Hence, if you think %26quot;God is bad,%26quot; %26quot;it must be so.%26quot;
The single problem with this is, what if some things are always Good, and you happen to think otherwise? Then, by Truth, you would have to re-pent, re-think. In the timing of Saint John Baptist, he initiated the practice of ritually baptizing unto repentance both Gentiles and Jews. Until then, Jews did not have to %26quot;repent%26quot; regarding the progress of the Messianic promise. By John%26#039;s time, according to him, they did. I.e., their thinking had moved away from Truth, and all their thinking something was Truth when it wasn%26#039;t, didn%26#039;t hold water with God, according to John.
C. S. Lewis makes a similar point: if a person thinks herself to be a good fried egg, and she isn%26#039;t, all the thinking in her world won%26#039;t make it so.
If God Is, then there is a standard beyond our opining.
%26quot;The Great Divorce,%26quot; C. S. Lewis,
%26quot;Expecting Adam,%26quot; Martha Beck, Ph.D., and
%26quot;Testimony of Light,%26quot; Helen Greaves, may be of interest.

On a difficult project, are recruitment procedures watered down ?
%26quot;There鈥檚 no doubt that the office bully is the pure embodiment of office rage 鈥?he lives and breathes it 鈥?and is in a completely different class from the rest of us. His underhand tactics and constant vying for power and control can completely destroy workplace harmony, and he should be dealt with swiftly by your company鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.%26quot;
If there%26#039;s difficulty staffing a project - if the project needs skilled staff in short supply, mightn%26#039;t recruitment procedures be watered down and allow in unsuitable staff ?
On a difficult project, are recruitment procedures watered down ?
From personal experience, I can give a resounding YES!

Most managers have less than zero technical skills (that%26#039;s why they went into management in the first place) and most of them seem to honestly believe that %26#039;more bodies equals getting it done quicker%26#039;.

Reply:The actions of others makes one assumption that is often incorrect and that is that we are aware of all the information involved and the decision making process.
It is easy to render a decision about the actions taken with only a sliver of the information.

Why do we all have diffrent voices?
Its very rare to say that somebody sounds like someonelse.
Why do we all have diffrent voices?
Our ears are able to distinguish significantly more wave forms than are needed to interpret language. Our vocal cords, mouths and noses are physical instruments that change over time through their use. Our brains learn by imitating others but we do not succeed in exactly copying what we hear. The difference between the thing we try to copy and the sound we produce is easily distinguished by our ears.

Babylon philosophy ?
How did Babylonian philosophy influence Western philosophy? I%26#039;ve been trying to find a good website, but haven%26#039;t had the best of luck..
Babylon philosophy ?
It looks like they didn%26#039;t get nearly as far as the Greeks did. Pre-Grecian civilizations like Babylon and Sumer aren%26#039;t remembered for their philosophy because they relied more on mythology and because they didn%26#039;t have the freedom of speech that Greece was to have. Most intellectuals worked for the king%26#039;s court.
There is a section on philosophy in the wikipedia article on Babylonian literature. They did figure out some logic, which enabled them to do astronomy and medicine and may have had some influence on the Greeks.
