Thanks for your post, the article about twin studies put and end to a sort of discussion there and it's great. Thanks for sharing! I will see the doc later.

you should get to the chatroom more often,they have made it simpler and it doesnt require to register as it used too

How are you?

Thanks for the quote. However, now I am somewhat confused: doesn't Einstein's theory of relativity address the fact that time itself is subjective, that is, that it can be experienced differently depending on one's point of reference? Wouldn't time be moving very slowly for something or someone travelling at the speed of light, contrarily to moving not at all?

woah, thanks for the recommendation, had no idea about this site its awesome

Thanks . All those thing are my goal and I hope that everyone can strive for them.

that'll work.

	It is so crazy that as humans we can fall in love so deeply with people that don't love us

All I have to say, lesson learned.

I have experienced love three times in my life. Once with my ex wife, with whom cheated on me, lied to me about it and how long it was going on, I later found out and still stupidly married her despite my gut screaming at me NO, and my head going you can make it work, it's the right thing to do, all of her family is here. Then ignored me and my pleas to her to show me she truly still loved me. Eventually years of my feeling neglected made me believe I was in a loveless marriage reflecting more so on how she cheated on me and lied to me in the past reinforcing my current feelings of neglect. My conclusion was she had never loved me. Thus receding my feelings for her. I even thought about just staying with her despite how I felt, but would not be fair to either of us.
My first, and one I lost my virginity to, I spent a significant amount of time apart with no contact. I returned to find she moved on and had another boyfriend. I respected her decision later to find out she dumped him the very next day after seeing me and threw herself at me. She eventually had a friend of hers ask me if I wanted to be with her. My immediate thought was she has such little self respect and fear of my rejecting her that she had to have her friend ask me and that she was willing to leave someone she had committed to be with to be with someone with whom she hadn't seen in so long. So based on that conclusion said no I don't and moved on.

My third and current has not changed, to whom which I have never felt this strongly for. Which actually added to my initial analysis of my feelings of love 4 years ago.

Excellent

I think a large problem with the psychology of modern warfare is the impersonal nature of it all. People locked in deadly combat don't know eachother at all, are often using impersonal tactics (bombing/shooting), and are simply following orders. Outside of the immediate fight, two enemy soldiers really have nothing against eachother.

In contrast, combat situations in the natural world, or pre-modern-era, were immediate and personal. You likely knew your enemy from a rival tribe through previous raids, fighting required lots of close contact, and the benefit to you and your family was clear.

While I'm sure this confusion does occur, I think it largely depends upon the person's belief-system prior to the life-threatening event. Some cultures raise warriors who believe in a violent, cruel world.

What is more common, I hypothesize, is overwhelming after-effects of direct trauma. Losing a parent is difficult...losing a dozen close friends in a few minutes is devastating. My Grandfather has no internal confusion over his actions in World War Two and maintains a firm grasp on reality, but he's still plagued by flashbacks, sometimes re-living the horror almost 70 years later.

I think the Samurai tradition encapsulates it well. The infamous warlord Nobunaga Oda was praying at a Kyoto shrine in 1852, when one of his generals surrounded the temple with elite soldiers; a coup. Nobunaga fought the first few men who entered the temple, but when he realized he was hopelessly outnumbered, he and his retinue committed seppuku.

Situations that trigger the survival-response can be severe enough to overwhelm that survival-response, yes.

I wouldn't consider my stance as representative of the general 'male approach' to selecting partners, I am a perfectionist and it also reflects in this. Remember me saying "All a man needs is a healthy woman"?
Well, the 'trick' there is that I define/determine/decide what/who is "healthy" or not, hahaha. About the standard "good looking persons", I don't follow such tendencies and, in my opinion, nobody should. I mean, every person has individual tastes, they have to stick to it, no matter what others like/dislike or think(as long as isn't hurtful to anyone). To me, there are no generally ugly or beautiful people but different. Some like chocolate, others hate it, despite what the majority says, if you like it, you should go for it. To go deeper into the "ugly people have to be conformists", ugly is subjective, there will be always some who are attracted to certain features. As long as those considered "ugly" are relatively healthy and take good care of themselves, chances are that they will find a suitable partner, given the proper conditions (no discrimination against her/his appearance, cultural background or something along the lines -no prejudices-).
