Outworking my competition and being ruthless has worked well for me up to this point. I expect no quarter and at the same time none should be expected from me. metaphysical mumbo jumbo doesn't seem to work well in all the examples i've seen. look at the pope. fucking fake.

http://psychcentral.com/news/2012/0...-policy-for-mental-physical-health/42733.html Honesty might be best policy for mental, physical health By Rick Nauert PhD Senior News Editor Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on August 6, 2012 A provocative new study suggests that telling the truth when tempted to lie can significantly improve a personâs mental and physical health. University of Notre Dame researchers presented their study, called the âScience of Honesty,â at the American Psychological Associationâs 120th Annual Convention. âRecent evidence indicates that Americans average about 11 lies per week. We wanted to find out if living more honestly can actually cause better health,â said lead author Anita E. Kelly, Ph.D. âWe found that the participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies, and that in turn was associated with significantly improved health.â In the study, researchers evaluated 110 people over a 10 week period. Thirty-four percent of the sample were adults in the community and 66 percent were college students. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 71 years, with an average age of 31. During the investigation, approximately half the participants were instructed to stop telling major and minor lies for the 10 weeks. The other half served as a control group that received no special instructions about lying. Both groups came to the laboratory each week to complete health and relationship measures and to take a polygraph test assessing the number of major and white lies they had told that week. Researchers discovered that over the course of the study, the association between less lying and improved health was significantly stronger for participants in the no-lie group. For example, when participants in the no-lie group told three fewer white lies than they did in other weeks, they experienced on average about four fewer mental-health complaints, such as feeling tense or melancholy, and about three fewer physical complaints, such as sore throats and headaches. In contrast, when control group members told three fewer white lies, they experienced two fewer mental-health complaints and about one less physical complaint. The pattern was similar for major lies, Kelly said. Compared to the control group, participants in the more truthful group told significantly fewer lies across the 10-week study, and by the fifth week, they saw themselves as more honest, Kelly said. When participants across both groups lied less in a given week, they reported their physical health and mental health to be significantly better that week. Researchers discovered that a week with less lies was also correlated with improved personal relationships and enhanced social networks. At the end of the 10 weeks, participants in the no-lie group described their efforts to keep from lying to others in their day-to-day interactions. Some said they realized they could simply tell the truth about their daily accomplishments rather than exaggerate, while others said they stopped making false excuses for being late or failing to complete tasks, Kelly said. Others said that they learned to avoid lying by responding to a troubling question with another question to distract the person, she said. Because the findings are new they will be submitted for scientific review and publication later this year, Kelly said. Source: American Psychological Association
