Lemming

As I recall, I liked Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, better than Night by Elie Wiesel.

I don't remember them too well, but as I recall Viktor Frankl's book gave me some philosophical comfort, in some of the ways he looked at his situation during and after, while Elie Wiesel's book mainly just left me down. Not that Night is a 'bad book, from what I remember of it, it's valuable as a book in learning of and understanding part of history, but it's a downer.

Positive thinking though. . . I 'really haven't read that much about psychology, but it seems a fairly logical thought, if a person has verbal abuses and disparagements flung at him all throughout a day, weeks, and months, and years on end. He's going to have problems.

I suppose if a person had sugary thoughts sprinkled on him all throughout his life with no realism ever given to him, he'd have problems as well.

But I don't think positive thinking needs to be backed that far.

Seems enough that a person given positive, but realistic encouragement, maybe with some warnings about dangers, would do the best of the three.

I don't know the answers to your questions.

But you could probably find some users willing to get into verbal discussions/arguments online, with the express purpose of reviewing the debate afterward, perhaps by having a third party ask the two debaters 'separately their thoughts during certain parts of the debate, what their justifications were for why they responded with certain statements, or what emotions they might have felt.

Which could be accomplished by either audio recording the debate, or taking notes.

I think that George Floyd isn't the poor saintly martyr, some people like to icon him as. Though his death is unfortunate.

I think that people with a history of trouble with the police run into more trouble, including when they resist arrest.

My second brother has multiple problems with the law, I worry the police might shoot 'him one day if he does something dangerous or threatening.

I think that the police 'should be held accountable for their actions.

I think that the protestors handled their protests poorly in many places with violence and riots, at a poor time, what with the pandemic and all. But hey, there's peaceful protests in places too.

I think the 'police in many places have handled the protests poorly, though not in all places.

I think the media has handled the BLM movement a 'bit poorly by their often refusal to broach any criticism of some of the movements actions.

But the media did handle the brain fart of an idea made by protestors alright. By that I speak of defund the police, as if many police departments weren't poorly funded enough. The media made the intelligent decision to pretend as though the people rhythmically chanting defund the police meant shift some of the police responsibilities and funds to other methods to help the community.

I think the way in which parts of BLM has been run, has resulted in a boon to the likelihood of President Trump being re-elected.

Hello, I'm Lemming. Actually just popped in here to ask if anyone knows where airmax1227 is?
