the stranger jornal 3: my new world view

1. Healthy people are born with a equal capability of experiencing pleasure and dis-pleasure, people may experience this pleasure at the beginning of life, at the end or distributed through life.
-ex. playing video games while having HW to do gives you pleasure now, but later you will experience displeasure from not completing your work(possibly guilt, or others not liking you or other factors)
2. Most people need some Almighty power or greater purpose in order to live sanely, while others do just fine without. which is just fine.
- many people need to have a religion to stay healthy, but many people don't need religion. people need to respect each others spirituality in order to avoid conflict.
3. people need to learn from each other and from themselves in order to live and grow. people must also learn from history and especially from all cultures.
- so there are no negative stereotypes, and prevent repeating mistakes.
4. we are all influence by each other and our relationships, no matter how insignificant, it contributes to future events, actions, and thoughts for life.
- its all about chaining. like someone seeing a good deed, which get them into a good mood, then they may possibly do another good deed. and the chain goes on.
5. every behavior enacted by a person is environmentally and genetically influenced.
- like if someone had a depressed mother, and had just been through a divorce. they might experience a long term state of depression
6. always be prepared. you can never determine wether or not something will happen so you should bring everything you can to prepare.
- like if you are going to walk the dog. you never know if he is going to #1 or #2 so you always bring a bag
7. in order for proper psychological development, one must acquire an understanding of the world around one.
- with out this understanding, one may have irrational ideas and problems communicating or developing in life.(also functioning in our society)
