I never developed a relationship … Continue reading “Can humanity be saved? Saved from itself… Let’s look”
All emotions speak!I have, until a few minutes ago, thought that to be frustrated something needs to be block or hinder you in an action…I am finding out that frustration is actually synonymous with disappointment.
In the famous marshmallow experiment by Walter Mischel. He said that the 30% of the kids that didn’t eat the marshmallow, didn’t even look at the marshmallow.
