Instincts > Intellect?
I have been thinking a lot recently about the immigrants who first came to America. They didn't really just come here and adapt to our country because it was here and they wanted to conform so that they could take advantage of what could be given to them. They came to America because they wanted be the way we were. They didn't want our welfare, etc - they wanted our tolerance, our diversity, our opportunity to be whatever and whoever they wanted.
There's no place like that now. No place to go and just be yourself, to do whatever it is that you do, to live how you want to live, to love how...
Giftedness (another psy DB topic)
My own thoughts about "giftedness" have been rather sketchy. Based on my experience with friends who tested as "gifted" (i was home schooled except for 6th grade and one quarter of 9th grade, and so was never classified as "gifted" or not), I figured it had something to do with being relatively smart (smarter than the average child) and willing to work hard. I figured I was just as smart as these gifted friends, but maybe not willing to do so much homework, lol, so I wouldn't want to be tested as "gifted."
After reading about the characteristics of giftedness, I see that being "gifted" is...
Negative punishment (psychology class discusion board topic)
"Negative punishment" somewhat backfired with me as a child. Points were taken away from my "team" for "backtalk" (questioning the rules) - unfortunately for my team and the adults trying to get me to blindly obey, I simply ceased to care about the game, declared them unfit teachers and stalked off to sit by myself (anticipating that this is what they would eventually try to "punish" me with, anyway. Usually they gave the team (now minus one girl) back the points, lol, and I became quite comfortable in my own company. This pattern continued throughout my childhood - if an athority figure...
A work in progress
They say that Jesus loves you
and that He has "plans for your life"
They say in the womb He formed you
that He has purpose in all of this strife
He doesn't want much from you
just your body your soul and your mind
It's not much to give
It's all already His
They say it all works out in the end
For those who love and serve only Him
And when the cancer and the pain is through
When your intellect has completely left you
After you give up the ghost
He'll preserve your soul
You'll be forever worshipping Him
When all the tears are dried from your eyes
And...
