Desire and oil

We know many people better stewards of our energy (desire) are created, but what they really want is to use it to benefit them.

The title is explained in the video because I comment that desire is our source of energy, similar to the way oil is also a source of energy.

We all have desires and some countries have oil.

Just as it would be logical that the oil producing countries to buy oil elsewhere, it would not be logical that each of us is guided by the desire of others instead of considering, respect, obedience, self- desire.

Perhaps the individual situation is more serious because what we actually happens is that others come to tell us how we should use our desire. Ie: it sometimes happens that others (parents, teachers, politicians) want to use our desire for a certain way and not another.

Returning to the case of oil country, the situation would be that other countries will say to Venezuela, for example, you need to sell oil at half the price.

In fact, what happens to those who try to manage our own desire is something similar to the example I just mentioned about Venezuela, as indeed is the desire of others take advantage of us. As someone proposes selling the cheapest oil, who advise us, trying to lead our actions, never do it for our benefit but for the benefit of them.

I will put other examples: Parents suggest their children to study certain subjects and leaving others; so do in affective aspects: suggest certain companies and try to turn others; advertising, obviously trying to influence our desire to do what to them for you.

In short, many people who know better stewards of our energy (desire) are created, but what they really want is to use it to benefit them.

Gastronomy and news

The explicit cruelty in the media and Facebook may intend to compensate our insensitivity (for adaptive and healthy saturation), or you can respond to the fact that those who post them retain child psychology, considering that small property scenes that an adult could not tolerate without bristle.

Just as our palate becomes accustomed to certain taste intensities, without which the gastronomic pleasure not happen, I propose to think that cruelty we see on the news (and on Facebook), responds to a kind of insensitivity that suffer viewers (and friends on Facebook).

The media need to call our attention and for this they have to excite, provoke such strong emotions as the tastes of those who prefer spicy food, because without plenty of salt and pepper are the bland, tasteless, inedible.

However, it has not only increased in cruelty explicitly informational and Facebook - to offset our adaptive insensitivity. I propose to consider another cause.

It is said that education has become less effective in most of Latin America. That is reflecting that we are emotionally immature. We are intellectually underdeveloped than before.

Child psychology has, among other features, a special inability to understand the pain of others. They can, given their lack of emotional and neurological maturation, understand how much suffering like a wounded or sick. For small and there are no terrible scenes there for adults. If we look at the classic tales find their protagonists suffer many ailments, to the delight of the children.

In short, I propose to think that our insensitivity may be caused by saturation of stimuli (such as a healthy adaptive response) and also because many people, perhaps those who post on their walls very cruel images are so emotionally immature that are enjoyable, so similar to how children find funny that the wolf eats Little Red Riding Hood.

Socioeconomic inequalities

Humans compare us for our availability of money, basically arbitrary reasons. What we do need is to link both either by love or by hate. What we need is essential so feel that we are part of a group (family, society, guild).

One thing is that there are people located below the line of poverty, homelessness, and can not have a decent life and another is a scandal to do with that situation.

We are all different and broadly conform huge groups, we differ: million patients think of the millions of healthy, millions of ugly think about the millions of cute, millions of families with many children think of the millions of families they can not have children, millions of poor in millions of people think they do not know what it is to have money shortage.

On this last point we live in a scandalous situation. The other differences are equally or more dramatic than the amount of money available, but it is in this aspect that the situation is more dramatically.

The comment I make them in the video relates to our way of interacting is through the feelings that inspire us mutually.

Both love and hate are feelings that are links, either attractive or repulsive, but thanks to them we consider the other.

Broadly speaking, we may say that we love those who are like us and we hate those who are not like us. In the background we have a matter of tolerance or intolerance to different... different to each of those love or hate.

The amount of money available is an indicator that differentiates us, but we have chosen quite arbitrary. We can not think angry with those who have better health, more beauty, more children.

In short, in this article I propose to think that we live dramatic socioeconomic differences that confront us and we both distressed, perhaps capricious, possibly absurd and despotic. What we need is to differentiate the background to stimulate a feeling of attachment or rejection, with which to be associated as members of the same species, because we are essentially gregarious, social, can not live alone, we need friends and enemies, to feel we 're alive.

The camouflage of the psyche

It would be a serious mistake to say that the mood of the people is reflected with vivid clarity paying attention to how to describe the world around them: if you think that everything is bad is because your mood is negative and if you think all is very well is because your mood is positive.

Several times I have referred to the phenomenon of contrast necessary for our sensory perceptions may occur: white on black, sound of silence, salty about bland, smooth over rough cold to hot.

This also happens on an intellectual level: seems terrible when something happens in a context of serenity, amorality seems aberrant under very restrictive criteria, anger is less significant in chaos, sadness individual is minimal when all are equally sad someone not very smart if our attention is in a group of gifted, a bad actor goes unnoticed if among others, in a chorus of saints seems willful renegades.

Almost all my comments on the implications of these phenomena include some mention of Gestalt psychology (1).

Now I comment an observation that anyone can confirm with your own experience.

Imagine the state of mind of a person is very negative, because it goes wrong in life, because your health is precarious, because it has a bad temper, or whatever.

If that person can reasonably live with your discomfort, you may be able to make objective observations of reality, but if you do not want others to know of his bad mood, because he feels shame, because that will increase the discomfort, or because those around him they threatened him that he can not continue bothering with his petulant temper, it is likely that observations of reality might not be as objective, but instead, try to show everything as disastrous, chaotic, vile, hellish, corrupt, lacking respect, full of menacing hazards.

Why make such negative comments ? Because in fantasy claim to believe, (and make others believe) that he is fine but what is wrong is the world, the environment, society, people, country, period.

If we return to Gestalt psychology discussed above, we would say that this person, so that your character difficulties go unnoticed, so that no one perceives, describe the environment with features such as unpleasant mood. If this is black color, then painted black everything else so no one can perceive it, to go unnoticed. So everything looks bad, as bad as it feels. Camouflages the fact that his mental health to go unnoticed.

The left sinks the poor


When we have a government of the left, the rich live in a stimulating environment and the poor in a discouraging environment. So what is happening (the rising inequality between rich and poor), is distinctly average, expected, inevitable.

As you can tell by the number of articles that I published with reference to this topic (1), is something that worries me, it takes me, excites me, inspires me, enrages me, gives me the creeps.

The reason for such interest could be summarized by saying that : poverty develops rich territories, while in very poor areas increase the chances that the population is working, industrious, creative, connected, compassionate, disciplined, lover of money, comfort, thrifty, farsighted.

Since a few years ago left ideology is gaining power to the point of being democratic rule in many countries that were traditionally ruled by right-wing governments. Until now the U.S. has a president (Barack Obama, the Democratic party), which could be classified as the most left-wing in the history of that country.

In parallel, international organizations dedicated to observe the economic poverty of the people, are finding that more and more poor, that more poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer.

This could be explained, in accordance with the tenets and raised in articles published previously (1), that a leftist government becomes the scene of the rich in a stimulating context (aggressive predator opponent, detrimental from the point of view of tax policy) and, simultaneously, a discouraging context, (perks, aids, handouts, tax relief, exemptions, favoritism) for the poor.

When we have a government of the left, the rich live in a stimulating environment and the poor in a discouraging atmosphere. Therefore, the rising inequality between rich and poor that we are checking is distinctly average, expected, inevitable.

Good artists and mediocre

Successful artists are not the best, are the ones who influence us the benefit of their sponsors. Unsuccessful artists are not always poor: surely are people who do not benefit those who would lead them to fame.

Artists are people who change our thinking, we realize it or we do not realize.

The Beatles changed the way we are from the 1960s, the cinema has imposed some beliefs, reaffirmed others and destroyed a few.

The literature gives us stories in which a main character has enough features for us to identify with him and, without realizing it, we adopt some of its features, ideas, ways of reacting.

I would say that the maximum power of the United States is not sustained by arms but is sustained by neurons in each of us that were colonized by various art forms, especially film and literature.

In turn, artists are people who have the gift of using an actor language (speech, features, gestures) we sneaks into the mind without being able to control it. We eat what we like and why we like becomes an essential part of our environment: We bought Beatles records, look a thousand times the movies where the heroism of the cowboys are lifted, the romance of the Italians, intellectuality, refinement and glamor of the French, the severity of the English and Germans.

Everything I say to the cinema, necessarily also applies to the theater, soap operas and literature.

Happen very often: reach the fame painters, filmmakers, writers, sculptors, we do not like. The explanation for this phenomenon is not a little strange that we suffer ignorance to make a proper assessment, but these artists are placed in seats of prestige because his art conveys these messages indecipherable ending educating ourselves, adoctrinándonos forming our opinions, adhering to certain ideologies and neglecting others, all of which occur because the messages of these artists come to us again and again because they want to occur the big capitalists, the governors, religious, political, any powerful messages found in the art of the chosen why promoters suits them.

Similarly we happen to some other artists we like but, strangely, do not get as successful as you would never choose. This occurs because their creations are not in the interests of those who might sponsor them. Just for that.

In short, do not reach the fame artists we like but the best help to the powerful (ideologies, religions, capitalists).

Award who dies

Not only indebtedness is hard to explain, also know why anyone waste their money on gambling, or systematically lost fortunes, or insolventa repeatedly.

Those who study these phenomena we go groping in near total darkness. We know that there are causes of all phenomena, we have some hypotheses that get along with psychoanalytic theory (1), but the fact is that little or nothing can be done for people with these uncontrollable behaviors.

In the video associated with this article I propose to think that the overhang can be an unconscious action to alleviate the fear of death.

Note, for example, how compulsive gamblers (gamblers) behaviors have mystical, kabbalistic, religious, devotional, magical. They feel protected by imaginary characters 'that sometimes leave' sudden death causing them equivalent to losing everything.

When these people lose everything and feel die mythical resurrection encourages them to keep trying, for which sobreendeudan.

One can imagine the fantasy is clinging to life better if many people pray that they pay all that you owe them. If you believe, as many people, that prayers are effective, on debt trying to form a club of creditors who pool their mystical forces and pray asking God to live until cancel... which never will because it is intended to be Highlander (like any human being).

The trigger of this article is the vaccine a few years ago and discovered the usual lenders (banks, credit cards, financed goods sellers).

This vaccine consists of a life insurance contract, which must be paid by the same debtor, so that in case of death creditors to recoup unpaid debt by charging the insurance company.

Thus, if a creditor actually they prayed for spiritual help their customers, they stopped because we were already concerned about the life or death of the debtor, knowing that in the event of death, the outstanding debt will be canceled by the company insurer.

In short, those sobreendeudan thinking that creditors will force the debtor to have a long life, and will have no need to resort to this procedure because it would be useless creditors no longer care about the existence of debtors. Of course, the insurance company does not care because at the costing who borrows to pay, they indemnify all claims (cancellation of debt by death) and still earn enough.
