John 18:37-38 πŸ“– Then Pilate said to him, β€œSo you are a king?” Jesus answered, β€œYou say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the worldβ€”to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, β€œWhat is truth?” After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, β€œI find no guilt in him."
Strike and WoS are wildly popular among bitcoiners, but also wildly centralized and custodial. They're convenient, but you trade for that convenience with your liberty, privacy, and responsibility. What gives?
Something I was totally unequipped for before becoming happily married: understanding the natural differences of men and women in libido. For women, libido so much depends on hormonal cycles, and she becomes most sexually interested during the times she is most fertile. Man, on the other hand, is far more "ready" and consistent. In and out of season, he is open to his wife. Therefore, men must learn to live in natural respect and patience with this difference and not take it personally. Women are beautiful creatures and God's gift to man - the perfect companion. Practice self-control and live with your wife in an understanding way. #Biblestr #Psychology #Christian #Marriage #MasculineFrame
One of the most replicatable phenomenons in the discipline of #psychology is the undeniable effectiveness of prolonged exposure therapy, coming out of the behaviour sciences. If you have conditioned avoidance to a stimulus based on a bad experience with it, the only cure to that fear and subsequent avoidance is a progressive safe re-exposure to that thing again to re-train your brain with a positively different association. This cure applies to developed fear of: β€’ Environments β€’ People β€’ Food β€’ Animals β€’ + more Your mind will tell you to avoid exposure, but if you know better life is on the other side of this barrier, you must cognitively distance from this thought, buckle up, and do what matters. The alternative is watching a better life go by the wayside - your mind will point it out to you, too. In this way, avoiding pain creates a pain feedback loop. ~~~~~ Fascinatingly, we also have pre-conditioned aversion to some things such as spiders, some would-be foods, and snakes. It's not all tabula rasa in the human brain. Some of our responses are innate and usually very beneficial for our survival.
Since I work from home from a computer, Saturday's tasks of cooking, tidying, washing, mowing lawns, and fixing things are a welcome relief. Has anyone else read that physical leisure has high quality of life returns for office workers? Likewise the opposite is true: a man who works hard physically finds it most restful and streas-relievinf to read, study, or otherwise engage his mind as a hobby during his off-hours. T.S. Elliot opined: "variety is the spice of life." #Psychology
