actually, my relative says Freud largely reversed his position on sexuality motivated psychology... towards the end of his life. Healthy work, and healthy love speak for themselves.
I finally came up with a regret. If I could be a little kid today, I would be much more kind to the other little kids that had problems instead of making fun of them. I would have been a lot more friendly to the girls who were not the most beautiful. I probably still would have made fun of grownups behind their backs, but I would have been a lot more respectful of them to their faces. In short, I would have treated people better.
"Do not pursue what is illusory - property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade and can be confiscated in one fell night. Live with a steady superiority over life - don't be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn after happiness; it is after all, all the same: the bitter doesn't last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing." "Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag." -Alexander Solzhenitsyn I'll meet Alexander half way. I'll pursue those fine things in life such as friendships and knowledge, at the same time as enjoying the more worldly and terrestrial pleasures. I can understand his sentiment though, living the majority of his life in a time and place where things were easily confiscated.
Perhaps we can all start by treating people better on these forums. We share one thing, no matter what - we will all end up the same. That can be a humbling thought.
These are just anecdotes "recorded" by a nurse. There is a good reason why the western world established scientific approaches: It minimizes the subjective influence on results. All that can be learned from this article is how a single person (Susie Steiner) sees the world and which values she wants that others should estimate.
