Bitter, Party of One

Posted on September 8, 2009 by D3 Support

Bitterness is an emotional state of resentment combined with anger. It’s usually chronic, in nature. A bitter person feels entitled to something he or she didn’t get — whether it’s a specific courtesy or something as unspecified as happiness. Bitterness … Continue reading →

Educational Concentration Camp

Posted on September 7, 2009 by D3 Support

I feel for the parents who don’t want their children in public schools to be “brainwashed” or otherwise exploited by the politician-in-chief, who at least originally planned to give a speech calling on children to support his policies. However, these … Continue reading →

Just a Little Unwell

Posted on September 6, 2009 by D3 Support

Some people don’t like to be treated well. Why is this? There can be many reasons, depending on the exact psychology of the person who craves mistreatment. One reason is low self-worth, obviously. The form this takes is: “I’m not … Continue reading →

Pull the Trigger?

Posted on September 5, 2009 by D3 Support

The latest and greatest approach being tried by advocates of socialized medicine? The trigger. It’s an appropriate analogy, because giving government the keys to the entire practice of medicine, forevermore, is the same as pulling the trigger on a gun … Continue reading →

Realistic Optimism

Posted on September 4, 2009 by D3 Support

Realistic optimism consists of two parts. The first is that you face facts, at all times, and consider all relevant facts. The second is that you assume the positive is more powerful and more relevant than the negative. Even when … Continue reading →

Health Care: The Answer is Staring Us in the Face

Posted on September 3, 2009 by D3 Support

A government-run health plan is not merely “too extreme” or “overdoing it.” A government-run health plan is precisely the opposite of how it should be. The government “controls costs” by forcing doctors and patients to behave in ways other than … Continue reading →

You Can’t Not Decide

Posted on September 2, 2009 by D3 Support

You can try to escape choice, but you still cannot escape deciding. To decide not to make a choice is still to decide. So you might as well face it–and choose.

Manners Matter

Posted on September 1, 2009 by D3 Support

Manners are primarily for the sake of the person who practices them. They enable the person with manners to have a respect for human association, which means to make his or her own associations more comfortable and satisfying. You show … Continue reading →

Help With Your Independence

Posted on August 31, 2009 by D3 Support

The issue isn’t whether to “get help” or to be independent. That’s a false choice. The issue is whether to help yourself, or to find someone to help you help yourself. Helping yourself is fine. But there’s nothing wrong with … Continue reading →

The Psychology of Productivity

Posted on August 30, 2009 by D3 Support

Do you define your work–or does your work define you? Your work is supposed to “work” for you. Ideally, it fulfills you and provides meaning and purpose for you, along with a good income. Worst case, it enables you to … Continue reading →

Really, No Question

Posted on August 29, 2009 by D3 Support

“It’s [BS]. It’s disgraceful. You wonder which side they’re on,” said a Congressman from New York about Obama’s plans to prosecute members of the CIA who went after 9/11 terrorists. I don’t wonder which side he’s on. Do you?

Help on the Way…And Its Name is YOU

Posted on August 28, 2009 by D3 Support

The last thing an individual — or a society — needs is a “guru.” Or a savior. Or someone to rescue them. The very notion implies one of the natural, inevitable human state as one of helplessness. “I’m helpless and … Continue reading →
