A human being is a complex creation. To gain a state of control and to handle and most importantly to reason its actions and reactions, each human being has developed its own spectra of emotions which are revealed every moment in their life.
An Emotional Response is the reaction of the body to a situation primarily given by an outer influence such as other individuals, groups, things or entities. But the Emotional Response is only one variant of this spectra of emotions. Emotional Responses consist out of two known procedures called „Grief“ and „Stress Reaction“. In terms of psychology, an Emotional Response is not a psychiatric disorder or depression.
Grief
Definition: Grief is defined through a common, intense and painful reaction to loss, death of a loved one, family member or friend.
Symptoms: The symptoms generally occur immediately, or maybe one month after and up to one year from the time of loss: Numbness, Loneliness, Sadness, Guilt, Shock, Anxiety, Anger, Agitation, Crying, Insomnia, Restlessness, Withdrawal.
Treatment: People may talk about and share feelings with the person, and they must tolerate emotions. To allow enough time to pass this situation is important, and an occasional counseling will overcome this situation. Sometimes a symptomatic or brief use of medication is necessary, too.
Stress Reaction
Definition: A Stress Reaction is known as the „normal“ reaction to a disaster, trauma or highly stressful life event.
Symptoms: The symptoms occur immediately after the event and may continue for a period of time, too: Disbelief and shock, Irritability and anger, Sadness, Feeling powerless, Feeling indecisive, Crying, Headaches or stomach problems, Difficulty sleeping.
Treatment: One must alleviate emotional distress, and be able to promote problem-solving techniques in order to help the person. When the individual gains comfortable feelings, it should continue to get back into „usual routine“. However, to seek counseling is helping, too.
Another form of an Emotional Response is a rather understandable method of reacting to an influence to the individual. For example, various colors evoke certain reactions in viewers. Nevertheless these reactions are culturally specific. Nearly in most western countries, brides often wear a white gown as a symbol for purity and widows wear black as a symbol of their sorrow and mourning. However brides wear black in many asian cultures. Colors seen as influence to the individual are leading to a response of the individual, which is known as Emotional Response. The individual who is experiencing the color will be in a moment of pertained emotion. It may be excitable or sensational in a personal defined degree as an emotional nature will lead to a reaction to the input given. The following list will give general examples for the most known colors:
Red – danger, stop, negative, excitement, hot
Dark Blue – stable, calming, trustworthy, mature
Light Blue – youthful, masculine, cool
Green – growth, positive, organic, go, comforting
White – pure, clean, honest
Black – serious, heavy, death
Gray – integrity, neutral, cool, mature
Brown – wholesome, organic, unpretentious
Yellow – emotional, positive, caution
Gold – conservative, stable, elegant
Orange – emotional, positive, organic
Purple – youthful, contemporary, royal
Pink – youthful, feminine, warm
Pastels – youthful, soft, feminine, sensitive
Metallic – elegant, lasting, wealthy
Even today, I lack to see a realistically drawn Emotional Response in movies, books or theatre as how it is described in detail through psychiatry. I beg to differ that any author of major scope has been able to represent the state of deepest „Grief“ or „Stress Reaction“ to a reader, except scientific reports or documentations concerning patients and their behavior under psychiatric and medical treatment. Nevertheless, an Emotional Response on the level of sudden input requiring a sudden output is seen in almost every movie or book. As an audience requires interesting stories, most authors prefer to include common behavior and expand this situation to fit the circumstances of an Emotional Response. A main character may react differently to the set situation as the audience would. The author will achieve the interesting moments which concerns with the audience’s own personal situation, while the audience itself is allowed to understand its own mistakes or the faults of the main character as a lecture to the individual.
As you can see, the understanding of an Emotional Response requires a definition of the terminology. To expand this in most details is fairly possible, but would completely out-leap the given task to compile a small summary. I do not believe the outcome of a situation is important, to where things could have been handled better as they have failed or been a failure itself. Compared to the result, the lecture drawn from the result is the most important key to understand. In my experience, there is no movie, book or anything else that is comparable to my personal expectations to an Emotional Response. The ways of „Grief“ and „Stress Reaction“ are too complex to manifest within a story, and the original input-output setting of an Emotional Response is fairly legit but usually done incomplete to grant me resolve.
In concern of my personal acting, an emotional response drawn by most individuals is not necessarily compatible to me. I have learned that emotions are functional. Emotions can range from a silence hymn to an outburst of rage. To cover these personal feelings, its Emotional Responses and emotions in general means to understand me, and react with more control than other beings may do in their life.
Most people cannot conduct nor want to understand this as I proclaim myself as an emotional soothed being while acting with others. As one has created an understanding my personal Code, the thin line will be created from „no emotion“ to be full of emotions as the key towards emotional existence is peace. Peace itself is known to be a state of tranquility or quiet. This peace may be the result of freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions, and a state of harmony in personal relations. Why am I able to do this, act in this way, and be it? Because I choose to, and because I am. But even if there is a moment of achievement through this objective ability, I know that I do indeed fail. It is the way I choose.
Off to Berlin
LebenThe two of us are leaving today for Berlin. We’re expecting a 4 hours trip until we’re able to meet with Kat’s uncle and aunt and her little cousin. Fortunately, they give us shelter – or we’d have to pay for some expensive hotel rooms. Of course we’re going to take our laptops with us and we plan to make many photos with ourselves and Berlin in the cam’s focus. Sadly, we’re not going to have some kind of mobile internet connection to blog from the trip, but I might prepare some postings in Word for later. Until then – have a good time! Byebye ;)
I-Pod, I-Hate
Social MediaHow to reset a frozen I-Pod? How not to throw it against the wall? How to soothe your girlfriend if she’s angry and making a fuzz about it? These questions stroke me this morning… and her comment was nothing else but „my fucking I-Pod hates me“. I-Hate it too. Even Apple has some suggestions for this thing, but I tried it hard – following their instructions a dozent times, but the little I-Hate did not change anything into the Apple logo. Why not? Why in this life not? If I put it closer to my ear, it sounds like an old cassette tape being rewinded… for hours. I hope the batteries will empty soon and we can start it all over. What a joyful morning. Her laptop dismantled our souls, the I-Hate tuned nothing on, and I have to go to the doctor to get my results.
CPU Hibernate
WebOkay, this machine is a blast. A few days ago we threatened the laptop already to be reformatted again, and surprisingly the LAN worked shortly after we made our threats to the machine. Now after Kat slammed the laptop onto the couch with a load of furious comments, she set it off all power and gave it some time to feel like RIPing. Nevertheless, I had some time to soothe her a little bit, and after all I digged up some information about a WinSock error by googling a little bit. For some reason the 169.254 IP addresses the WinSocks malfunction might have caused this type of problem. And after threatening the laptop to get a bash by WinSocksXPFix.exe, it worked fabulously again. Threats are the key to maintain your control over the machines. I’m going to get a severe brain damage… I think.
Tech Support Needed
WebWe have a problem. Currently, the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo D 8800 Notebook of my girlfriend Katharina will not recognize the LAN anymore. It’s not the cable as it works properly with my laptop, but apparently the hardware LAN port of her laptop or the software recognition to detect a LAN of Windows XP Home. Instead of detecting the 100 MBit LAN or detecting whether a cable is plugged in or out, it constantly claims a 100 MBit LAN is active (even if no cable is plugged in) with a (windows internal?) IP Address of 169.254.xx.yy! I recognize this weird IP set… so if anybody has an idea on how to solve this problem, please let us know. On another note, her I-Pod is freaking out. She told me its normal with that shit thing, but I wish there was a way how to crush it’s digital skull and bones.
Syndication Template Error
BlogkulturApparently, an error has tweaked the Blogspirit system within the templates (Design > Advanced settings). The „Syndication Rss2.0“ template links are showing the atom.htm file while editing, viewing the original version and restoring the original. I strumbled across this problem as I noticed the RSS feed was encoded in UTF-8 while I prefer to encode my feed in ISO-8859-15 to show special characters found in the German alphabet. I hope Blogspirit is going to fix this link error soon!
Der Tag
LebenWas für ein wunderschöner Tag, an dem man noch das schneeüberzogene Dach des Nachbarhauses erblicken kann, die Sonne nur selten hinter dem diesigen Wolkenschleier hervorblitzelt und man in der wärmenden Wohnung das ganze Treiben der kleinen Gestalten draußen in der Kälte beobachten kann. Katharina sitzt neben mir und bearbeitet ein paar Bilder, äußert sich aber auch derweil mit makaberen Worten und Zoten über ihren Zeitvertreib. Ich blogge natürlich – was soll man im langweiligen Internet denn ansonsten so tun außer Blogs zu lesen und zu schreiben? Heute mal wieder auf Deutsch, weil’s ja so schön ist!
Was war bisher passiert? Ich ließ mir heute morgen Blut abnehmen zwecks einer Routineuntersuchung. Soetwas soll man ja ein paar Mal machen und nicht ewig vor sich hin schieben. Meine Ärztin war noch nicht in der Praxis, also hatte ich das Vergnügen mit den Arzthelferinnen. Es ging ganz schnell vorbei, und ich war anscheinend 200ml Blut ärmer. Dabei fiel mir auf, dass mein Blut eine schöne tiefrote Farbe hat. „Häm-Häm“, dachte ich mir nur. Auf dem Weg nach Hause rutschte ich etwas über die Strasse und war froh, doch wieder daheim zu sein.
Katharina klickt, oder vielmehr die Mousetaste ihres Laptops. Sie benutzt wohl eher wenig das Touchpad um etwas anzuklicken. Klick klick, klick klick. Nun hat sie auf meinen Blogeintrag (während ich am Schreiben bin) geluschert und so getan, als würde sie nicht lesen. „Ich wollte nur einen Kuss“, hieß es daraufhin, „darf ich dass nicht?“ Und nun kommt es von wegen „Ich darf ja nicht gucken… ich darf dich ja nicht mal angucken“ mit einem grinsen von einem Ohr bis zum anderen. Ehrlich gesagt stört es mich nicht, wenn sie hier reinschaut. Aber wenn ich soetwas wie diesen „LIVE-Report“ mache, ist es ein wenig hinderlich. Jedenfalls hat sie ihren Kuss bekommen in mehrfacher Ausführung. Nun will ich noch ein wenig weiter rummachen und blogge mal lieber später weiter…
References for Knowledge
Unicum AkademieTo perform their acts in courage and determination of your personal code, all of us are aware of some darker side within ourselves and others. We are aware of the ways of good and evil. The good one as seen in light, and the evil one as seen in dark.
In our modern world, people may never ignore themselves and their enemies – enemies of nature, enemies of society, enemies of small problems, any kind of enemies. However, you may not ignore yourself and your own mistakes and errors. Instead, you must learn from them and realize what you have been doing to gain an awareness to prevent such cause of failures again. Not that it is unavoidable to fail, but it is limiting the chances once you adapt the known knowledge with the unknown one.
To overcome ignorance grants knowledge. Knowledge of all sides of the matters. You see the knowledge, you know it – and you will be able to commit yourself to be able to create peace while knowing your emotions including both good and evil ones. Ignorance is not a bliss.
Wiser Ignorance
Unicum AkademieIn contrast to history, modern society has included the full rights and acknowledgement of the disabled or handicapped people. The most striking concept to accept and understand these equal members of society can be seen in these paragdims:
1. Don’t use demeaning terminology in dealing with those who have a handicap.
2. Do not help people with a handicap in a deferential manner.
3. Treat people with a handicap in a normal way.
4. Let people with a handicap do things for themselves.
5. Don’t lecture people with a handicap on how they ought to be unless you really know how they are.
6. Put your evaluation priorities on something higher than a physical disability.
7. A person’s personality, character, spiritual acumen, and mental ability are all of more importance than physical prowess.
8. A person with a handicap is first of all a „person“ and needs to be defined that way rather than by a deficiency.
Ignorant Fools
Unicum AkademieIgnorance is usually seen as a trait of the people who rather prefer to accept things as they are than changing their world. The simple acceptance often results in blind fools who follow a strong lead. Such ignorance can be a bliss for the people who dominate the ignorant ones. Its not a strength of character, but more of a failure. But a strength of a character is among other criteria the knowledge itself.
What knowledge is will be certainly defined in the next issue, however I want to explain why ignorance leads to failure in reflection of historical events.
Seen historically, the condition of being disabled by nature or accidents has often been viewed as tragic. However, long ago in pre-industrial times, people with disabilities were often not allowed to support themselves or their families. Instead they were seen as social dependents, objects of pity, or in other words a kind of recipients of charity. Through such utmost ignorance and fear of others, of these disabled people, many disabled people typically were seen as beggars or indigents. The terminology of „having a handicap“ itself is said to derive from „cap in hand“. It is revealed as a posture often associated with panhandling.
In early America of the 19th century, society assumed a paternalistic approach toward people with disabilities. A common problem for people with disabilities was a seperation from society in asylums, hospitals, and state schools. Disabled were seen as patients or clients who needed curing with usually no real effect to enhance the life of the disabled. In these institutions, medical professionals and social workers were considered the primary decision-makers, rather than the people with disabilities themselves.
A system with an effect of excluding people with disabilities from the larger society was established. The assumption that people with disabilities needed to be rehabilitated from their „problems“ was usually commonized by people with disabilities in any event. An implied perception of something that was inherently and permanently wrong with them made its way to their minds, and the minds of the whole populace. No room for integration, and later no allowed right for the perpetuation of myths regarding disability and inequality became truth.
