Las 11 diferencias entre las mujeres inmaduras y las mujeres maduras
1. Las
mujeres inmaduras quieren controlar al hombre en sus vidas. Las mujeres
maduras, saben que si el hombre es realmente suyo, no hay necesidad de
control.
2. Las
mujeres inmaduras te gritan porque no las llamas. Las mujeres maduras
están demasiado ocupadas y sólo se limitan a decirles con poemas y
mensajes dulces que la recuerdes.
3. Las
mujeres inmaduras monopolizan el tiempo de su hombre. Las mujeres
maduras se dan cuenta de que un poco de espacio, hace del tiempo juntos
algo mas especial.
4. Las
mujeres inmaduras no perdonan y se castigan y castigan por el rencor, en
cambio, las mujeres maduras perdonan, ofrecen su hombro y un pañuelo.
5. Las mujeres inmaduras tienen miedo de estar solas. Las mujeres maduras lo utilizan como tiempo para su crecimiento personal.
6. Las mujeres inmaduras ignoran a los buenos hombres. Las mujeres maduras ignoran a los malos.
7. Las
mujeres inmaduras lastimadas por un hombre, hacen que todos los hombres
paguen por eso. Las mujeres maduras saben que fue sólo un hombre y nada
mas.
8. Las
mujeres inmaduras se enamoran y persiguen sin descanso. Las mujeres
maduras saben que algunas veces el que tu amas, te amará y si no,
continúan su camino sin rencor.
9. Las mujeres inmaduras te hacen que vuelvas a casa. Las mujeres maduras hacen que quieras siempre volver a casa.
10. Las
mujeres inmaduras dejan su agenda abierta y esperan a que su hombre
hable para hacer planes. Las mujeres maduras hacen sus planes y cariñosa
mente notifican a los hombres para que ellos se integren como mejor les
convenga.
11. Las mujeres inmaduras leerán esto y harán una mueca. Las mujeres maduras lo compartirán.

Siga o seu instinto
De forma mais ou menos subconsciente, os recém-casados sabem à partida
se o seu casamento irá ou não funcionar, conclui um estudo.
Uma equipa de psicólogos norte-americanos conseguiu avaliar
experimentalmente as atitudes subconscientes, em relação ao seu cônjuge
dos dois elementos de uma série de casais casados de fresco. E conclui
que, embora as pessoas não queiram – ou não o possam – dizer
explicitamente o que sentem, lá bem no fundo elas sabem instintivamente
se vão ou não ser felizes na relação. Os resultados são publicados online, esta quinta-feira, pela revista Science.

Romantic Functioning and Depressive Symptoms Among Early Adolescent Girls: The Moderating Role of Parental Emotional Availability
"This study tested associations between adolescent romantic functioning
and depressive symptoms and predicted that adolescents with emotionally
unavailable parents would be most likely to show an association between
poor romantic functioning and depressive symptoms. Data collected from
80 early adolescent nonreferred girls (average age of 13.45; SD = .68)
and their mothers supported predictions. A higher frequency of romantic
experiences (e.g., going on dates) and poor romantic competence were
each associated with higher levels of current depressive symptoms.
Moreover, these associations were most strong for girls with emotionally
unavailable parents."

O Mito de Sísifo - A Liberdade e a Justiça
"A revolução do
século XX separou arbitrariamente, para fins desmesurados de conquista,
duas noções inseparáveis. A liberdade absoluta mete a justiça a
ridículo. A justiça absoluta nega a liberdade. Para serem fecundas, as
duas noções devem descobrir os seus limites uma dentro da outra. Nenhum
homem considera livre a sua condição se ela não for ao mesmo tempo
justa, nem justa se não for livre. Precisamente, não pode conceber-se a
liberdade sem o poder de clarificar o justo e o injusto, de reivindicar
todo o ser em nome de uma parcela de ser que se recusa a extinguir-se.
Finalmente, tem de haver uma justiça, embora bem diferente, para se
restaurar a liberdade, único valor imperecível da história. Os homens só
morrem bem quando o fizeram pela liberdade: pois, nessa altura, não
acreditavam que morressem por completo."
Albert Camus, in "O Mito de Sísifo"

acrescenta outros zeros. Se finalmente se confidenciar que ele é bom na
cama, ela escreve um 1 antes dos zeros todos."

Five Easy Pieces (1970)
"A drop-out from upper-class America picks up work along the way on
oil-rigs when his life isn't spent in a squalid succession of bars,
motels, and other points of interest."
" The film is an intense character study of an alienated, misfit drifter who seems to have no specific direction or place in life. Jack Nicholson brings to life Robert Dupea, a man who has considerable natural musical talent, but has rejected that life and his family who is also musically talented. There are hints throughout the film that Robert had great promise as a concert pianist if only he had stuck with it. He contains many of the creative personality characteristics that would predispose him to musical greatness. Psychologists who study creativity have found that generally creative people contain a number of specific personality characteristics. Robert contains many of them, but has generally abandoned creating anything."

Bertrand Russel - Código de Conduta
Bertrand Russell propôs, na sua autobiografia, um "código de conduta" liberal baseado em dez regras de ouro, à maneira do decálogo cristão, para viver uma vida feliz.
1- Não tenhas certeza absoluta de nada.
2- Não consideres que valha a pena proceder escondendo evidências, pois as evidências inevitavelmente virão à luz.
3- Nunca tentes desencorajar o pensamento, pois com certeza tu terás sucesso.
4- Quando encontrares oposição, mesmo que seja de teu cônjuge ou de tuas
crianças, esforça-te para superá-la pelo argumento, e não pela
autoridade, pois uma vitória dependente da autoridade é irreal e
ilusória.
5- Não tenhas respeito pela autoridade dos outros, pois há sempre autoridades contrárias a serem achadas.
6- Não uses o poder para suprimir opiniões que consideres perniciosas, pois as opiniões irão suprimir-te.
7- Não tenhas medo de possuir opiniões excêntricas, pois todas as opiniões hoje aceitas foram um dia consideradas excêntricas.
8- Encontres mais prazer em desacordo inteligente do que em concordância
passiva, pois, se valorizas a inteligência como deverias, o primeiro
será um acordo mais profundo que a segunda.
9- Sê escrupulosamente verdadeiro, mesmo que a verdade seja inconveniente, pois será mais inconveniente se tentares escondê-la.
10- Não tenhas inveja daqueles que vivem num paraíso dos tolos, pois apenas um tolo o consideraria um paraíso.

A estética da transgressão presente em todo o desenvolvimento da película de Andrzej Zulawski possui uma ressonância psicanalítica profunda."

Não Deixes Que Metam o Nariz na Tua Vida
"Quando falas ou simulas falar de ti próprio e
amalgamas passado, presente, futuro, há sempre os que perguntam se o
que contaste é verdade ou não. Nunca indagam se vai ser verdade.
O que lhes interessa é saber, com a curiosidade dos intriguistas, se o
que se passou (ou parece ter-se passado) se passou mesmo
contigo. É um erro de gente vulgar. Parasitários ou não, qualquer
invenção ou patranha, qualquer «mentir verdadeiro» é acepipe
biográfico, é pretexto para te enfileirarem na nulidade biográfica que é
a deles próprios e tecerem incansavelmente histórias a teu respeito.
Não te deixes seduzir pelo gosto da conversa. Essa pequena gente não merece a mais pequena atenção, nem tu precisas de espectadores para o salutar exercício diário de falar por falar.
(...) Não deixes que metam o nariz na tua vida. Caso contrário, vais ficar cheio de gente, com a sua vida escassamente interessante. O tombo da vida vulgar já foi feito por escritores como Camilo. E tenho a impressão de que, no essencial, a vida vulgar continua a mesma.
Desunha-te a escrever (olha que já tens pouco tempo!), mas fá-lo com a discrição e a reserva de quem não se dá às primeiras. É outro exercício salutar."

A Armadilha – O Que Aconteceu ao Nosso Sonho de Liberdade / The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom (2007)
"A Armadilha – O Que Aconteceu ao Nosso Sonho de Liberdade é um documentário
produzido pela BBC, dirigido e escrito por Adam Curtis, conhecido por outros documentários incluindo “The Century of the Self”
(O Século do Eu) e “The Power of Nightmares” (O Poder dos Pesadelos). A série explora o conceito e
a definição de liberdade contemporânea, transformada "num modelo simplista dos seres-humanos como criaturas egocêntricas, quase robôtizadas, e que deram forma à ideia actual de liberdade."
Episódios:
Curtis examina a difusão da teoria dos jogos durante a Guerra Fria e a forma como os modelos matemáticos do comportamento foram adaptados ao pensamento económico.
Reiterando as ideias do anterior episódio, o realizador desenvolve temas como o das drogas como o prozac e a difusão de listas de sintomatologia psiquiátrica, e de como a ansiedade e a depressão foram usadas para normalizar o comportamento e tornarem os humanos previsíveis, como máquinas.
O último programa foca os conceitos de liberdade positiva e liberdade negativa introduzida nos anos 50 por Isaiah Berlin. Curtis explica como a liberdade negativa pode ser definida como liberdade sem coerção e a liberdade positiva como o poder de atingir o potencial de cada um. Tony Blair, que havia conhecido as teorias de Berlin, nos 1990 argumentou que ambos os conceitos positivo e negativo de liberdade podiam ser mútuamente compatíveis, o que viria a ter graves consequências.
O Século do Eu (2002)
"Esta aclamada série de Adam Curtis examina a ascensão do consumo,
tendo como pano de fundo a dinastia Freud. Para muitos políticos e
empresários, o triunfo do EUA representa a expressão máxima da democracia, onde o
poder finalmente passou a ser exercido para o povo. A ideia é dar às pessoas o sentimento de estarem no comando, mas estarão realmente? O século do EUA conta
a história não contada e às vezes controversa do crescimento da
sociedade de consumo de massa na Grã-Bretanha e os Estados Unidos. Como
foi o consumo criado, por quem, e com que interesses?
A dinastia Freud está no coração desta história social. Sigmund Freud, fundador da psicanálise, o seu sobrinho Edward Bernays, que inventou as relações públicas, Anna Freud, filha devotada de Sigmund e o neto de Sigmund, Matthew Freud.
A Obra de Sigmund Freud sobre o tenebroso mundo do subconsciente mudou o mundo. Com a introdução de uma técnica para sondar a mente inconsciente, Freud forneceu ferramentas úteis para entender os desejos secretos das massas. Inconscientemente, a sua obra serviu como precursora para um mundo cheio de doutores políticos, magnatas, marketing e a crença da sociedade de que a busca de satisfação e felicidade é o objectivo último do homem."

Com a introdução de uma técnica para sondar a mente inconsciente, Freud forneceu ferramentas úteis para entender os desejos secretos das massas. Inconscientemente, a sua obra serviu como precursora para um mundo cheio de doutores políticos, magnatas, marketing e a crença da sociedade de que a busca de satisfação e felicidade é o objectivo último do homem."
