Saturday Night For The Freethinker: Telling The Truth And NOTHING But The Truth!

Why do people lie so much? Hiding, convoluting, hurting each other, and then, lying again.

It’s annoying for me, the lying, the fantasies that people create, invent and imagine, for one reason or another.

I rather the harsh truth on my face than a «compassionate» lie behind my back. It’s much easier to tell the truth than a lie. It has less complications and makes you free.

Believing in God or not, being religious or not, that doesn’t make you a better or worse person. Look at this «wonderful» cyclist I used to admire, a lot: Lance Armstrong, an atheist who cheated his entire career to get ahead. He had the guts to say the following… «I hope I would be judged on whether I had lived a true life». Really?!

Learning Wednesday: Depression And Brain Inflammation

depression mental health brain dra martha castro noriega mexico tijuana

Depression Can Cause Permanent Brain Damage!
Depression not only makes a person feel sad and dejected – it can also damage the brain permanently, so the person has difficulties remembering and concentrating once the disease is over. Up to 20 percent of depression patients never make a full recovery.

PROPOSAL SOLUTIONS:

The mere fixation on anti-depressants will not solve this problem as the inflammation is very probably not limited to the brain. Silent inflammation is becoming more and more visible as the driving force behind chronic diseases.
An anti-inflammatory lifestyle with antioxidant-rich nutrition, physical activity, and the avoidance of toxins must be the logical conclusion for starters.

Every day, people are exposed to negative images, stories, and experiences,” says David Fryburg, founder of Envision Kindness. “We know that this exposure is stressful to the viewer—it causes anger, anxiety, depression, and can affect behavior, disconnecting people from one another.

“To help counterbalance the negative, let’s share diverse, positive images. We know that these images have great power to bring out joy, gratitude, optimism, love, and compassion.”
