Attorney General, Eric Vaillant, spoke today at a press conference in Douai, northern France. The French police discovered the corpses of eight new born children in a village in northern France and have detained the parents who are in their 40s police said.
What do you think Vaillant is expressing here? I will share my thoughts below in the coming days.
Dr. O’Sullivan talks about how wizards can’t get objectivity in their personal lives.
For me, there are times when I am unable to be objective because I am emotional and I have to work to overcome it, but my ability is by no means flat-lined in my personal life. I find I can get objectivity, if I continually look in the mirror and stay honest with myself, and I work to remove any emotional bias I may feel, if I am seeking the truth. Sometimes that is hard for me to do when it involves matters of the heart. I have to work extra hard at it, but it is something I am very conscious of. If someone is not conscious of these two elements, I could see how it could affect their personal life.
I think the wizards are no different than other people in this respect. Anyone who struggles to look in the mirror and who can’t delineate their emotions will face difficulties in their inner circle because they can’t see the truth. What do you think?
Atlanta Braves’ Melky Cabrera at batting practice yesterday. How does his expression make you feel? What do you think it means? See my answer in the comment section in the near future.
Dr. O’Sullivan talks about how people who lie to their friends are less accurate in lie detection. I found this fascinating and it supports what I see in life. The more a person deludes themselves and others, the more removed from reality they become, and the more difficulty they will have in seeing the truth. It’s a good reason to be honest, if you ask me.
One audience member asks if any Truth Wizards have admitted to lying a lot themselves. I am perplexed that so many people ask this type of question, as if because we can see lies, we are good at lying. It’s mortifying really. This question comes up a lot!
Dr. O’Sullivan said it best when she said, “Actually, they are extremely honest people…I think as people they try to live their life in a very principled way…they value honesty.”
Stay tuned for Part 3 tomorrow. Thank you, Russ, for the links.
Here is an interesting picture of Ryan Ketzner as he arrived to Warner Bros’ and their premiere of ‘Flipped’ on July 26, 2010.
It’s an interesting picture because he has a unilateral smile going on, which is a classic element of contempt. However, could it just be a simple smirk?
