I know that's considered unfashionable, we could use a flashy new 'disorder' symptom criteria list or accept that - I must find that more interesting, if only for the rewards.
I Claudius, the series on T.V, fascinated me....
I recently attended an interview,
I liked the title of the job and the prospects were great
Lots of challenges, a whole range
With a favourite addition
Autonomy
Oh and the ability to enhance the job, find new things to include (great when you're eventually going to get bored and start looking for something else you could do as well), something new and interesting.
I even liked the boss, she reminded me of Ann, who I worked with once
I thought we got on, you know... clicked
I did wonder - would it sound very childish and probably very off putting? Otherwise I would have asked her would she like to be friends anyway.
Courtship behaviour exists in every species, doesn't it?
I ask because, I'm wondering if I could be wrong. Great piece of advice that, given to me by someone special, who said, "Never forget to consider the possibility that's you're absolutely wrong". That just makes sense.In fact, it's the only intelligent way to prove anything conclusively.
My Maths teacher, Mr. Williams, told me two things that I've never forgotten. The first was the word, "Tangent". I thought, "Yay! AT Last.... a word that perfectly describes my way of thinking, in a way that other people can understand".
Also, "Every problem has a solution". He explained that was the basic principle of logic, that it is irrefutable, and mentioned cause and effect. I thought that made perfect sense too.
For example, last night I had a disagreement with my two youngest sons. They told me that they both believe that plants, such as grass/trees/ or at least most of them, were asexual things. Firmly, when I asked, "You both believe that? Why?" they assured me this is what they've been taught in school science.
Now, I only took Biology as one of my O Level options, and the teacher got embarrassed talking about stamens and fled the class (on the one occasion when sex was mentioned) after the boys started to giggle as he stood there blushing, but the general impression I definitely had was that this was proof that some species have both male and female reproduction organs.
There was another disagreement about the source of the word 'Pleasure', when it was invented, according to my 18 year old, they invented that as a reward, due to the survival instinct. Apparently it's impossible to have discovered it by yourself and there's no obvious reward for procreation.
Considering that again, I'm not sure how many ways I could worry about that comment.
