 | | Understanding Jealousy | | by balisunset, Aug 7, 2008 | | Your wife asks you to drop some clothes in for dry cleaning on your way to work. You get to the shop and quickly search through to make sure the pockets are empty. You find a few scraps of paper and put them in your pocket, leave the cleaning and drive to work. Later, sitting at your desk you feel the paper in your pocket and start to throw it away. You notice some writing and idly look at it. It is a love letter from someone your wife works with. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 1 |

 | | Understanding Disgust | | by balisunset, Aug 7, 2008 | | It is lunchtime and while you are talking, you fork some lettuce into your mouth. You bite into something soft and succulent that you realize shouldn’t be there. You spit out a half-eaten slug. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 1 |

 | | Understanding Sadness | | by balisunset, Aug 7, 2008 | | Your father is a good man, who has worked hard all his life in a position of middling responsibility for the one company. He is in his mid-fifties and perfectly happy, looking forward to a further 10 years or so until his retirement. He has two or three years remaining to clear the mortgage and is beginning to develop several new interests in midlife. One evening, your mother phones you and says that with no prior warning, your father has been targeted for redundancy and has to leave work at the end of the month. The prospects of finding another job in his line of work at his age are remote. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 1 |

 | | Understanding Happiness | | by balisunset, Aug 7, 2008 | | Imagine that you have just spent several hours writing a report. You tap the final sentence into the word processor and look up. You have no idea of the time and have been completely absorbed in your work, which has been quite difficult but to which you are more than equal. You stretch, yawn, remember to save your work on the screen and then think of the evening to come. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

 | | Understanding Anxiety and Fear | | by balisunset, Aug 7, 2008 | | Picture an elderly man, slowly crossing the road, apparently absorbed in his own thoughts. There is a sudden screech of brakes and the blast of a horn. He jumps out of the way, shaken. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

 | | Understanding Anger | | by balisunset, Aug 7, 2008 | | You are shopping in the supermarket, quietly making your way through the aisles and through your list. Suddenly, you hear screams and shouts and see a red-faced woman yelling at her four-year-old and slapping him time and time again. He is hunched up and crying with pain and fear. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

 | | Fear the Young and Disrespect the Elderly | | by Glynis Smy, Jul 26, 2008 | | Violent youths become elderly citizens. Does the media have a role in the violent acts and disrespect of todays children and will they, the future elderly lose the respect of the young? Is it a vicious circle? | | Comments(8) Liked It: 4 |
