Unnecessary writer wish

Those who study a book can try to understand the author's desire and tried to meet the desire of his mother.

Our mother is as essential as distressing character.

Learn to love her.

This so strong, gregarious feeling important and if we are lucky enough, feel along life allows us to engage in personal relationships with our families, spouses, children, co-workers, colleagues.

We can not miss the opportunity to add to the feeling of love that inspired us our mother and we will have for the rest of life, is closely associated with convenience : we love our mother because she met us promptly something that caused us discomfort (anguish, pain, worry). Therefore, our love will always reappear to whom we provide quality emotional, tangible, practical life.

With our mother, not only learn to love but learn how it feels to want to know what you want who gives us that much needed quality of life and we would like to control.

If she were a man, it might be easy to know what you want, but the anatomy and physiology of them are so complex that trying to understand them is like trying to repair a space shuttle counting only with a screwdriver and pliers.

When faced with a difficult text to understand, we fall back into that old uncertainty and the first thing that comes to mind is to try to interpret what did you mean confusing writer.

The task is to correct the child with his mother, but incorrect in the adult. This does not have to figure out what the author meant but should settle autoobservar what ideas the text suggests. Your own ideas are the ones that matter to you. Those that had the author and do not matter.

Buying needs

People make us equal costs for problems, difficulties, or make efforts to be exposed to equity risks.

Strangely enough, sometimes paid to have problems.

In fact it is rare that someone says it as I just did. For example, when playing with an electronic game we can expect to pay significant amounts in buying more difficulty levels.

Although it is known that it is never said in this way, when we pay the costs of a sports club, are paying to walk on a treadmill, pedaling furiously on a bicycle without wheels and the like.

I return to the opening paragraph and repeat, sometimes paid to have problems, difficulties, work, to sacrifice, to sweat. In these cases correspond then modified Biblical conviction to make it “gain problems with the sweat of your brow" instead of "earn your bread by the sweat of your brow".

As we see, to some extent is normal purchasing problems, it is normal to spend money on acquiring difficulties, shopping is known risk practitioners performing gambling.

Here we enter the door pathological buying such problems.

The gambling business is negative where the( ironically named) investor buys equity opportunities suicide.

People who buy small or big problems, like us. There are people coming from another galaxy: they are human beings who evaluate their actions with different criteria that we use to evaluate them.

Just as we feel good that someone pays the fee of a club to go to sacrifice and we think the person making wrong bets in a casino, they all say they are doing things right.

Just change the views.

'Husband looking like my mom'

Women are likely to seek the company of men with similar age and maternal affection.

Let's think for a moment that human couples are formed between a woman and a man that she chooses.

In our species the males are usually larger than females.

That man is almost always older than her in age.

Why women choose older male with her?

- There is a longstanding belief that men are emotionally more immature than women. This would lead us to think that to match the emotional maturity of the two, he should have lived longer. In other words, a 30 year old man is as mature emotionally as a woman of 20.

- This asymmetry in ages offset a negative characteristic of marriage : consists of an even number of members.

It is noteworthy that any institution must make decisions together an odd number of members to avoid ties that would paralyze action.

It is therefore likely that the woman, known inhabitant of a society in which most conflicts are resolved by the use of force, elect a man with more life experience ( older ) to defend the family members who suffer from attack, taking command given their greater wisdom.

In other words, the woman chooses a man capable of leading the family group in critical situations.

- The less visible reason for this choice makes the woman is completely unaware. Therefore it is only possible to develop a hypothesis.

Women are likely to seek the company of men with similar age and maternal affection.

The laws that we try all the same

The population function as if we were words and laws seek to act similarly, as if we were looking.

For psychoanalysis people are like us depending on how we achieved by language.

I say otherwise you and I are Hispanic, speak the same language, but, however, giving the words we speak slightly different meanings.

Furthermore, different peoples, as we write the words indicates the Royal Academy but utter a particular way.

In addition, each of us, individually, evaluates the words as personal emotions, memories, associations.

Also, and this is important, each of us works like a word that others give them personal meaning. For example: the word means JohnDoe:

- For a "good fellow, funny, punctual";

- For others it means "good partner, bored, jealous";

- For other means "father, grim, frightening".

The same Mr. Juan Perez is like a word that others assign different meanings that affect Juan Perez in his social life.

Of course, in turn, Mr. Juan Perez has their own opinions on others.

Like other words also seem worthy of a definition, then Juan Pérez define:

- Your boss saying it is "arbitrary, not as bad as the previous, emotionally unstable";

- Your marriage partner defines it as "exciting, good mother, jealous";

- And your child defines it as "typical teen, messy, loving".

Mr. Juan Perez, with their personal definitions of these people, is also generating them different ways of participating in society.

We can then see how this human attitude reciprocally define generates a dense network of links woven with linguistic expressions.

The laws seek to act in the same way as if we were looking.

The dissatisfaction with the status of women

Women tend to be monogamous but when frustrated with the status of women could mimic male polygamy.

As I mentioned in another article, I propose a point of view that human females, in a similar way like other mammalian females, are those which, when in heat (ovulating) call upon any man for that fertilizes.

They, when a woman seduces to become father of her children attend almost inevitably leaving aside other commitments loyalty previously agreed with another woman and their families.

In other words, if a man is invited to a different woman impregnate his wife, though he will almost certainly know of that can lead to his loss of the pre-arranged marriage.

Women do not choose anyone as father of her children. Somehow they selected with great determination and may even abandon their native vocation if you can not do with the man chosen.

Males, however, hardly choose but serve all women sexually seduce him.

Sometimes events occur that would dispute these descriptions. I refer to the times they want to have sex indiscriminately with any man. When this happens usually not exceed a few (but striking) experiences.

What happens to a woman who acts in a manner so rare?

From my point of view, they can act that way because they want to cause a nuisance to the man who defrauded. Very often, applying the old law of retaliation, falling into a kind of erotic debauchery to avenge fellow who violated a pact of mutual exclusivity.

Women tend to be monogamous but when frustrated with the status of women could mimic male polygamy.

The desirable uncertainty of capitalism

The uncertainty caused us giddy capitalist dynamics may be a desired attribute but consciously reject.

The day that any human being succeed in creating another human being from primary minerals, only then can we begin to think we know something about biology. For now we can only make a sperm fertilizing an egg outside a woman's body. We begin to learn something important when we are also able to create an egg and a sperm based on mineral elements (carbon, oxygen, hydrogen).

How to live without many concerns we join those who say that we have already touched technological ceiling, try to imagine that our medicine passionately knows everything and if there are still deaths, this is due to a slight technological backwardness we are point to beat.

However, our psyche also demand uncertainty, insecurity, incognito. Maybe do not do it consciously but the brain does not know everything seriously looking for he fears both complete happiness and to death.

In some neuron have the idea that complete peace, that perfect serenity, the continued well-being, are more like death than life.

It is very likely that the phenomenon depends on a life off-on, high-low, happy-sad, quietly restlessness, and so on binary type motion. In sum: the life phenomenon as a mechanical watch works with an inaudible ticking.

Article recently published (1) I mentioned some possible explanations of why capitalism is presented as a longest others (real socialism, Nazism, fascism) system coexistence.

In this article I comment that uncertainty that makes us the dizzying capitalist dynamics can be a desired attribute even consciously bother us so much that we reject.

Married people are more controllable than single

It is easier to convince citizens marriages singles. Machiavellian recipe is infallible, we defend like we benefit.

Self-preservation governs us individually and also to species level. Not only take care of our physical, but feel a strong vocation to have at least one child.

Women have these instincts, (individually the conservation and preservation of the species), more developed than men. It seems so be consistent : if they take 80% of effort, means that men take care of the remaining 20 %. If these percentages were real, we can ensure that they are striving four times more than us (4 multiplied by 20% = 80%).

They suffer overload is partially offset by a tolerance threshold higher than men's pain. For this reason, the subjective perception of effort does not preserve the proportion of 80 and 20, but they not only seek to become pregnant but in many cases help men with all the problems that we grow to meet this meager 20 %.

However, men and women live in pairs is just a habit that sometimes has become mandatory because the rulers that suits them the governed should walk in pairs because we are so weak and controllable.

I return to a comment I made in another article (1) about Cartesian dualism, that belief almost universal that humans are the sum of a body and a spirit, has survived to this day as if it were an unquestionable truth, for believing that we are weak and controllable.

It is easier to convince citizens marriages singles. Machiavellian is the infallible recipe (2), we defend like we benefit.

Transient health of capitalism

The actual longevity of capitalism could be explained by the wisdom to understand how we are really human beings.

In previous articles (1) I mentioned that, right now, capitalism is still a form of successful socio- economic organization. Something that brings health to the capitalist system is that it is designed for the interaction of people as they are and not as they should be.

From my point of view, socialism conceives a nonexistent player in reality but exists in the imagination of idealists, among those who would like us to be generous, honest, tolerant, caring, frugal, modest, restrained, respectful, humble, simple, moderate, enthusiastic, disciplined, helpful.

I repeat : the human being who imagine the Socialists only exists in the imagination of the Socialists, but does not exist in reality. Worse, most of the ideologues and promoters of socialism does not know that they have the necessary to live in that system characteristics.

On the contrary, capitalism sees a greedy, individualistic, hypocritical, unprincipled, prone to evade the rules, power-loving, comfortable, proud, cunning, fanned, pliable, quite unfaithful to ethics and morality, hedonistic man, funky but may risk when the gain is tempting, and eventually corporatist mafia, pretty greedy if it were not to succeed as trying too niggardly.

In other words, the (temporary) good health of capitalism could be explained by their realism and the (transient) poor health of socialism could be explained by their idealism.

Suicidal ambition of capitalism strongly conditioned to stimulate technological change destroy themselves and immediately recreate it.

As the system is exposed to so sudden and sometimes radical changes, followed by a rearrangement that seems to have toned, reliable prophecies are almost impossible and uncertainty is the predominant state.

News rereading arising

Watching the same movie several times or reread one book often bring us new details because, imperceptibly, we have changed.

Many people believe that not worth reading more than once the same book or listen to the same lecture several times.

If those do not reread or reescuchan do because they think they know the book or chat, they are wrong. If these do not review what they know they are going to get bored in a hit.

With books, lectures and films something happens that a majority has experienced: the second time is different from the first.

Our mind because of the assumption that the recording remains the same and confused that we, the readers or viewers, are also the same.

This is where our assumption fails: that change us, but we believe it or not we accept it or bother.

Resistance to change include the fear of losing our identity, we are no longer who (presumably) are.

What is certain is that receiving a second experience is always different from the previous one, and so several times. Depending on which stimulus involved (important book, movie complex, humorous lecture), we can find little or much data, scenes, interpretations, we had not understood, recorded, remembered.

Without exaggeration: with dedicate certain works is preferable to devote time to reread the same time new ones.

Perhaps the first approach we were more immature than in the second. Maybe in the second access we have capitalized some of the first reading and that predisposes us to understand better what we do not understand.

Something similar happens with people: usually preferable to have few friends to dedicate enough time to have many superficial and almost unknown relationships.

Capitalism and the fear of dying

Apparently live more (combined number of years of life with intensity), those least prevent death.

The failure of communism did not determine the triumph of capitalism. Common sense says yes, but common sense is characterized as very convincing while false.

The greatest challenge to the capitalist system began when he lost his faithful companion, real communism of the Soviet Union (1989).

Left alone, capitalism faces a trial by fire. Since 1989, all the errors and horrors occur in this regime. Happiness too, but that does not count because the good news is no news.

From my point of view the greater longevity of capitalism due to its vocation of death. Note that communism ran as the system always rule the world. The same thing happened to Nazism ran as eternal and immortal child and suffered death.

Capitalism is deadly, ruthless, brutal, cruel, indifferent to the early death of his pampered participants. Serious and committed to capitalism governments do not practice protectionism traders who disappear devoured by competition, bad luck, incompetence.

The capitalist doctrine itself seems to have mechanisms extremist and desperate defense. The free market left to act as its main ideologue (Adam Smith) called the invisible hand.

Freedom of economic agents goes so far that could work against the regime itself without anyone stopping them. The laws regulating transactions protect operators from other operators, but there are no laws that protect the capitalist system from other systems.

Perhaps individuals with the same thing happening : live longer (combined number of years of life with intensity), those least prevent death.

About envy and guilt

A richer, less envy and guilt to more poverty, more envy and innocence.

Think of all humanity and organicémosla by material wealth.
We'll place a few at the top rich and the many poor at the bottom.

Not that the rich are above the poor, but this design caused us a triangle, in which vertex is the world's richest human being and base are the millions of poor.

To avoid irritating our logic, this triangular least if we bother with the base down and point upward, because if we invest we would start to lose time thinking how a triangle or a pyramid, not lose their balance if it is based on as little as is the base vertex.

Therefore, this geometric figure has a base down to not be distracted by thoughts that are irrelevant. No way that pyramid is claiming that the poor are less than the rich. What is reasserting itself is something we all know : the rich are far less than the poor.

If you managed to imagine that triangle, then I suggest you think about how people living at different levels and what the feel they are above you and those below feel.

We might think that the one at the highest point you have not jealous because he is not up to anyone to envy and could also think that the one on the bottom you have the maximum envy because almost all are better than him.

In turn, the upper can feel more guilty than anyone and that is on the basis that no more innocent.

Drawbacks of the Information Age

In the 'Era of knowledge and information' were exposed to demonstrate how little we care about people and medicine.

Apparently we are in the 'Age of Knowledge' (or information). This means that, thanks to Information Technology, whose main tool is the Computer, more people have data, knowledge and abundant and instant information.

This change seems wonderful, but for many it is unfriendly for reasons that are not always clear.

Let me give two examples:

Facebook informs us daily the list of people today Birthdays. In a column on the right, add a link so we can send greetings to each of those people.

Before the 'Information Age', we need not greet anyone was unreasonable because many dates to remember: now, if not welcome, we are saying almost explicitly, "I do not care today fulfill years. Maybe not me 're interested in some way. I do not want".

In short: In the 'Age of Knowledge' were exposed to display how little we care about people in general (and some in particular).

Preventive Medicine, in this age, has significantly increased the facilities so that all who have access to a computer or a Smart Phone (Smartphone), we can make an appointment with a medical center where we can practice their own routines of preventive action.

Before the " Information Age "we could argue that we did not have much time to make that reservation, or we did not have much money to go to agendarnos and then also perform studies: now, if we do not expose us to the recommended tests are saying almost explicitly", “I do not care Preventive Medicine. Guárdensela!."

In short: In the 'Age of Knowledge' were exposed to display how little we care about Preventive Medicine.

Garage sales and consumerism

The American people use garage sales for various purposes, all very generous, funny, capitalist, consumerist, militant, consistent and effective.

If we accept that perfection does not exist and that happiness can be reduced to some very special moments in the life of a human being, we can lower the expectations to become "tolerant of reality as it is presented to us".

In other words, I'm trying to say that we could live a little better if we did not believe in perfection (health, links, our own performance) and if we did not expect a happy state 24 hours a day, Monday to Sunday.

Days past I published an article (1) in which I tried to explain how the social justice of consumerism works. As confessed in the video, actually trying to explain why most of the people we like and do not like capitalism socialism.

Americans often have houses with garage, but their vehicles are parked in the garden or on the street because they do not fit in those rooms that are intended. These spaces are usually crammed with things that were never used or hardly used or that were never removed from their boxes, which were received as gift negligible.

In suburban areas is a tradition to go out garage sales, ie the display and sale of spare and all that anyone could buy.

Why is this funny feature of what might be called philanthropic consumerism?

- The result of the sale could be donated to a church;

- Potential buyers have seen many other useless things;

- If you find something interesting, will implement its ability to dribble people who usually never negotiate anything;

- The poorest can stock.

Social justice consumerism

A country like the U.S. capitalist consumerism needs to live in dignity and to spread the wealth as well as possible.

I'll tell you a description of capitalism.

I say "tell them" because this is not an academic vision, based on what they say the Nobel Prizes that are out there convinced and convincing others that they know the truth.

Between you and me, with what you know and what you propose as an interpretation, see what we can understand.

What every community needs to live in peace, with the lowest possible level of conflict, with the highest quality of life possible, with the least effort, with the feeling that justice prevails, where possible parenting and which also there are sufficient grounds for fun. In short, we need to live in a place where we have a decent life, that reasonable efforts sue us where fun and do not miss.

Let us agree that the United States form a country where capitalist system prevails.

How do they do that the unemployment rate as low as possible ? Stimulate, through propaganda, all buy as many goods as possible, within the availability of money you have each family.

What do manage to buy a lot? They manage to generate jobs. If Americans buy everything they can do it because they like it, but also because it is a cultural trait that aims to a better distribution of wealth, the more consumption means more production and thus more people can find to work.

The better distribution of wealth is achieved finally buying and buying: why are consumerist.

All would think humanly well spend it, many people want to live there, including underground and nobody transgresses to go wrong.

‘Human ‘is also a title

Although studied to develop a vocation, studied mainly for society to recognize us as BEINGS integrate (humans).

While we all have questions about which came first, the chicken or the egg, I suffer a question like when I wonder if humans act as we could think of, —and then describe in words in our language that we did—, or otherwise, it is language that requires us to take certain actions.

Let me explain it another way:

When we look to end a legal career, pottery or design, we can say to others, no one is entitled to contrariarnos: "I ​​AM counsel”, “I AM potter" or "I AM designer».

My question is whether anyone studied what he studied because he liked it, because it happened to him, because he had nothing better to do or, on the contrary, he studied studied what he needed to say, no one had the right to cross him, "I AM (lawyer, potter or designer)".

Although it seems obvious that all studied because it occurs to us, (for which we are studying as our free will) is admissible assumption that study, first, because we need to BE to others, need to be recognized, because even Sorry we anatomic alive, something leads us to seek our recognition within the community such that we integrate.

As not think we're as free to do what we can think, I tend to think we are gregarious beings, we depend heavily on members of a group feel (family, sports team, nation).

If this were true (which we are deeply social and barely self-sufficient), then, when we seek an identity that others recognize us, what we do is an effort to BE (lawyers, potters, designers). We need titularnos as BEINGS (humans).

Advertising replaced the whip

The ingenuity of the exploiters, appealing to advertising, convinced many that work unnecessarily smart.

When the planet is generous live in an era of abundance. The land is fertile, weather conditions favor plant growth and reproduction of animals we use for food.

Given this bounty of the planet is relatively easy to live, we're happy, happy, relaxed, assured that any such is starving, living conditions are so benign that collaboration between us becomes almost unnecessary, since even the most vulnerable have energy enough to access what you need to survive.

As with any living thing more effort happens, nobody comes to mind, (in booms), do unnecessary work. The living plant and animal kingdom, function well when we do enough, however, in the human species occurs something that confuses us: some people do more than is absolutely necessary.

Surely there are many causes of excessive ambition, the abnormal accumulation of wealth, but propose a single (because not imagine others).

As companies increasingly were suppressing slavery, the ingenuity of many generated ideas on how to get others to strive, to exploit human beings like animals (oxen, horses, donkeys).

The ingenuity of these operators went looking for ways to persuade humans to work more without the pressure of the master whipping his slaves.

In other words: as flogging was banned employees invented the scourge of persuasion, human resource policies.

My hypothesis is that the ingenuity of the exploiters, appealing to advertising, convinced many that work more (be ambitious and consumer) is smart.

Not always seek comfort

The way we deal with problems inherent to gestate sons, appear always have problems and distress reject.

We agree that having children, engender, gestarlos, parirlos, is a natural mandate. We instinctively predisposed to perform these actions.

We know these ventures, (having children), we undergo effortless, worry, depriving us of entertainment, perhaps postpone definitely desires, spend sleepless nights, feel anguish when slow to get their rides, amusements and activities.

Objectively, having children is to seek, and find, great discomfort, discomfort, dissatisfaction, frustration. The question no one to encourage is: why humans we get into these ventures that seem so inconvenient?

The first reaction of many people is usually scandal. The question seems to negatively criticize any culture action approves fervently.

Although it is necessary to formulate sound inadequate to keep going.

No we did this question we could address the hypothesis that humans do not always seek pleasure, amusement, relief, rest, no worries, sleeping every night without interruption.

We are able to say that humans can also enjoy all that amount of discomfort that inevitably will lead the children fertilize.

Moreover, the death of a child may cause the most terrible moral pain which we suffer. Therefore, if we lose this permanent source of discomfort, worries and anxieties, we are worse than ever.

These experiences we have with our children, and I am summarizing as exposure to severe mood disorders that we would never lose, can suggest the hypothesis that not only have children if we upset. Maybe seek drawbacks, problems and difficulties at other times.

Not always reject the anxiety of both want to get away.

For humans the beliefs are true

We all have a set of beliefs about how things are, life, man, but we consider them true.

Hated, disqualified thousand times insulted, Jacques Lacan was a French psychiatrist continues to influence the thinking of those who practice the art of psychoanalysis as if we knew.

The very unfriendly, said: The truth has the structure of fiction.

Do you know what he meant the bastard? I bet you do not know, but think you have an idea, you may be sure which is the only possible interpretation, possibly swear that someone you know knows all that nasty thought and said French.

To begin, do not rule out the hypothesis that Jacques Lacan did not know what he meant, because he was convinced that humans do not speak but are spoken, ie to communicate orally or in writing, that we do not own it seems to us but, on the contrary, something unconscious leads us, governs us, we impose certain sayings, God knows why.

Therefore, when someone said Truth has the structure of fiction, it was not responsible for what you said. For one thing, no one knows, came to pronounce it, but we can ensure that the author really knew what he meant.

In this state, let's see what we can do with the above aphorism.

For myself I have an imaginative interpretation because I am short.

Lacan means that everything we think is part of our personal story. This story is a story ( fictional ) that explains everything. For example, the Communists have a story that explains everything, is fictitious, but they make decisions based on that belief, as Christians believe in the New Testament, etc..

For all, what we call truth is pure fiction.

The brain is positively appraises

Note that the way we think about the reliability of our thoughts is generated by the same brain we evaluated.

Why is it so easy to soothe a sore ingesting a sedative body counter and is almost impossible to break free of anxiety, anxiety, uncertainty?

From my point of view, the human mind can not see what they do not believe. If I did not believe in the existence of tangible objects, as for example a vase full of flowers, we would not see the vases.

In other words, we see the vases because we believe there are tangible objects made ​​by man or by nature.

When we believe that humans are the sum of one body and one spirit we are conditioning our attitudes assuming that Cartesian dualism is true (1). As scientists are human beings as subject to the beliefs as any of us, the pharmaceutical industry has found solutions for somatic difficulties and solutions found for the intangible, spiritual.

I would not rule that suffering technological backwardness psychiatry, psychology and psychoanalysis to obey, consciously or unconsciously, we believe in the existence of a mysterious spirit, magical, heavenly, mystical, inaccessible, belonging to a higher reality, another world.

We are in the minority who assume that the spirit (soul) is a cerebral production, a subjective, an invention that is validated by consensus, for all, in one way or another, we have a brain that secretes those thoughts, with such intensity that homologamos, we consider real and worthy of being integrated into our decisions.

Note that this approval, such confirmation is produced by the same organ we evaluated. Our brain becomes judge and jury.

The brain says he thinks good and we should believe him.

Rugby and capitalist competition

In this article I compare capitalist competition with it's own hardened confrontation between practitioners rugby.

I copy and paste, the Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy, the definition of RUGBY:

Sports practiced, hands and feet, between two teams of fifteen players each, with oval ball to be deposited after the line that marks the end of the field or introduce between a crossbar and two poles that rise above the ends of this.

Some say that this game is played in three stages: 1) training, 2) Competition in the field and 3) A meeting of camaraderie among the members of both teams, to soften any personal discomfort would have been of sporting confrontation and to learn from the mistakes that we point out the occasional competitors.

This game, of English origin, seems to have a feature that, prejudicially, we assign to the English people, this is chivalry, elegance, good manners.

Not to mention that the English people was characterized by invasive behavior, not overpowered many territories far and wide in the world, having tea with the leaders and peoples under that held the most power marine fire and sword ; without forget all this, I repeat, we agree that between rugby lovers there is a mystique which obliges them to themselves, to be honest, play fair, avoid wild violence, even when practicing a sport as violent as this.

When we go out to earn a living, in a competitive market like the capitalist, we are practicing something similar to rugby: melee fight against occasional competitors, trying to bring something as elusive as the money or the oval ball to our pocket or goal.

Philosophy is not theoretical but practical

A school teacher, Oscar Tabarez, leading the soccer team, we are re-educating all Uruguayans.

We tend to think that philosophy must understand a set of abstract ideas, too theoretical and impractical, however, for philosophy can also be understood another thing is like the operating system of our mind.

If we understand that an operating system is the program that allows a machine boba understood with a smart user of almost equal-to-equal, we can summarize these ideas saying by philosophy must understand the body of knowledge, theories, beliefs, prejudices, learning, conditioned reflexes, with which we interpret reality and interact with it.

Therefore, with this other sense of the word philosophy, we conclude that all have some and that without it we could not participate intelligently or in nature or in society.

More precisely, a philosophy is not a theory but a practice.

Uruguay, the country where I live, has a total population of three million -odd inhabitants. In comparative terms, we are less Uruguayan residents a neighborhood of São Paulo or Bogotá, however, struck by the number of football championships won since 1930 until today.

In this country we always talked charrúa claw, meaning we inherited the temple a very combative tribe that lived in this territory before they were exterminated by a genocidal sad memory.

Our players were rude, mean, violent, and cheats and won several championships. Then began an era of failure because in other countries began to neutralize our arrogance with a markedly sporty philosophy superior to ours: nobility, education, respect.

A school teacher (Oscar Tabarez) took over the coaching of sports and our selection is changing the philosophy we all.

The last-minute sale

As buyers and sellers may belong to the same family of similar tastes, the sales increases upselling and satisfactions.

It is conceivable that between sellers and buyers of certain products and services there are some common features; metaphorically, it is possible that they belong to the same family.

For example, McDonald owners are people who like to eat hamburgers, gasoline marketers may be raised in a business like this, carpenters love as much as those who prefer wood furniture that material.

Something that could also add to these ideas is that, to make or sell something, you need to have, as one of the necessary resources, why love is manufactured and sold. Who sells books requires, among other things, enjoy reading and have memory for authors, titles and arguments.

From these considerations arises an explanation of why the upselling, ie the last minute sale, additional sales, the offer complementary.

Surely you already know: this is the offer that makes us who we are selling what we bought:

If we try to refuel the vehicle, we offer a filter, an additive or something else that might be of interest to those who buy gasoline.

The offer comes as generous and timely because, at the time of doing so, we also are reporting an attractive benefit that would not get out of that spot situation.

When McDonald's ordered a coffee, the cashier, almost inevitably, we will offer more. The same applies when we buy a book on Amazon and other buyers tell us that we ordered also bought another book this or that.

As buyers and sellers may belong to the same family of similar tastes, the sales increases upselling and satisfactions.

The balance of poverty pathological

A poor disease can not progress because the good and bad that happens neutralize and immobilize it.

A pathology or disease, are almost the same and refer to an impaired functioning of something or someone.

Think of a pendulum clock. It works well when making a single movement to and fro, the needles move in coordination with the clocks chosen to determine the official time of the corresponding meridian.

That clock is healthy if the swing generates a change in tune with the reference clocks, but is ill if the swing does not generate the expected time change. He's dead if not have the sway.

Now let's see how this metaphor corresponds to the topic that interests us.

Poverty is characterized pathological, although there are income and expenses in the poor economy, the end result is unsatisfactory to their expectations.

The disease has a poor swing of satisfaction and dissatisfaction, as the pendulum of the clock, but not access to the quality of life they would have.

Usually when talking about psychological symptoms, in the psyche of the sufferer, there are two opposing forces (I like - not like, I use - no use to me, I advance - recoil, I have hope, disillusioned me), but so that almost are neutralized or cause improvements that in the medium term, are insufficient. In the case of the watch: the swing of the pendulum occurs regularly but when that information is markedly different to the official one, and the patient, working, saving, worries, but ends up unhappy, anxious, depressed, resentful, irritated, with any psychosomatic ailments.

From my point of view, suffers from poor pathological consistent symptom that is too balanced, the good and the bad of its occurrence prevents movement to progress.
