Do we really LEARN from experience?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 21 Jan 08

There are a number of sayings (and "wisdom") in the world that suggests we learn from our experiences, and supposedly get smarter as we progress through life. This morning, I was reading a article on a web site, about...

Has Society Become Hypersensitive?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 1 Jul 07

I believe it's a good thing that society has certain "protections" built in, to prevent people from just randomly saying and doing hurtful things to others. Principles like "equality" and "non-discrimination" helps us all live...

Invasion!

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 8 May 07

Do you have any "invasive" people in your life? Maybe I should explain a bit further. I am talking about the people who seem to have NO awareness, at all, of personal boundaries. I am NOT talking about the "malicious" people...

How COMMITTED are you to your own ideas and values?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 27 Apr 07

Many of us have a pretty good sense of what we want, and where we are going in life. We have ambitions, desires, wishes, goals, personal values and so forth. We may have a vision of the sort of career we want, what kind of...

Why are there so few public CLOCKS in the US?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 19 Apr 07

I was born and raised in Denmark, and I lived in several European countries before I was 18. Eventually, I came to the US at age 20 to go to university. There's something interesting I have noticed, in the 25-odd years I have...

Making Money Online: Who actually BELIEVES this stuff?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 17 Apr 07

I just finished responding to someone's discussion about making money, and taking out a loan. It got me to wondering about something. As you all know, we get served up "content based" advertising with every time we load a page...

Running TOWARDS vs. running AWAY from-- what do you do?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 15 Apr 07

OK, so it's Sunday morning here, and I am in a "thinking" frame of mind. And I got to thinking about what motivates people, on a very deep level. One of the things I have noticed about people, is that there tends to be two main...

Has WORKING become too important in our lives?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 13 Apr 07

The other day I was talking to a friend on the phone, and in the middle of our conversation he got another call. This conversation was taking place at around 6:30 in the evening-- and after a brief pause, he came back on to tell...

Ever stop to wonder about HOW MUCH you've written on myLot?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 12 Apr 07

OK, so I was a bit bored, this morning... and got to thinking about writing and participating on sites like myLot. It seems to me that it's a pretty good bet that most people who are regular contributors here-- beyond just a...

Mixed feelings about AGE DIFFERENCES in relationships

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 11 Apr 07

I realize there have been lots of discussions on myLot about age differences in relationships-- people seem divided on what is "OK" and what is "creepy." Recently, I have found myself re-visiting the "age issue" from a closer...

How do you handle ANGRY and SHORT TEMPERED people?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 5 Apr 07

I think most of us experience anger at some time or another-- I know I certainly do. Many psychologists believe that we feel anger when some kind of personal boundary has been violated... anger is a natural way of being reminded...

What is ART?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 31 Mar 07

On the surface this may seem like a very simple question. Recently I was part of a discussion with a group of people where we explored this topic-- and it was anything BUT simple. What makes something "art?" Where is the line...

RESPECT: Is it something people DEMAND, or EARN?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 30 Mar 07

A few weeks ago, I started a discussion that asked whether TRUST is "earned" or "freely given." Many people shared their opinions, and a wide range of perspectives came to light. This week, I'm curious about people's approach to...

When is "cheating" really CHEATING?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 30 Mar 07

When you write, when is so-called "cheating" REALLY cheating, and when is it NOT? The other day I got a slightly "angry" email from somebody who was upset and said I had "copied" them because I blog entry I had written had...

What do you feel about BRAGGING and SELF-PROMOTION?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 30 Mar 07

I came across this quote, the other day: "If you are GREAT, you don't need to TELL people; people will tell YOU." I got to thinking about how we perhaps all have someone in our lives who's forever talking about their good...

When does ASSERTIVENESS become ABRASIVENESS?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 14 Mar 07

When I was maybe 8-9 years old, a relative taught me to "stand tall, look 'em in the eye, and tell 'em what you know!" Although it varies somewhat from culture to culture, many of us have been taught that we need to learn how...

Does part of your life feel like a LIE?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 6 Mar 07

As children, and as "responsible" adults, we are taught the value of being truthful. Some debate can be had, as to what exactly "truth" is-- and whether "telling the truth" and "truthfulness" is even the same thing. Not all...

FIGHTING for Peace... what???

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 3 Mar 07

It's possible that I'm the only person who finds this slightly odd, but here it goes: When I lived in Texas, the man living two houses down the street from me was a political activist. We're talking "activist" with a BIG "A."...

What makes you HAPPY?

Denmarkguy @Denmarkguy (1845) • United States 1 Mar 07

The issue of "happiness" is an ancient discussion-- so I'm not exactly covering NEW ground, here. Probably, happiness has been discussed (in SOME form) on myLot, before. Yet the issue of happiness is central to our lives. The...
