Yet another study has been published to show how our insecurity can even impact something as physical as the feeling of pain. The study of 382 teenagers showed that those who were more insecure had a tendency to amplify the degree they felt pain: We found that adolescents with insecure relationships tend to be more ‘alarmist’ about their pain symptoms; they have a tendency to amplify the degree of threat or severity of their pain. This amplification leads to more intense pain and more severe depressive symptoms. In other words, the more insecure a teen reportedly was, the more intense pain they complained of, often in the form...

Norman Vincent Peale and his wife, Ruth Stafford Peale. I’ve enjoyed that particular publication in good times and bad. One of the aspects of it I think I’m most fond of is that it embraces all religious faiths, without showing prejudice or preference so none are segregated or left out. This matter of finding our way in life, following our own guideposts, seems to be independent of any particular religious faith. Faith is faith. I apologize if that offends any of you; but it is my belief as I have lived a considerable number of years and witnessed the hardships of the Jews over the years, the bigotry toward the Catholics in some parts of the country and the judg...

The good times may not be as good as they once were, but we have a tendency to lower our standards a bit and just settle for a comfortable day. Bad times, well, those can range from miserable and difficult to “Oh, dear God, will this day never end?” It’s a difficult situation to explain to those who don’t know how miserable life can be. If you explain it too much, you’re a whiner. If you don’t explain it at all, they think you’re depressed or nuts. Finding the middle ground is a tricky business for most of us. Since we don’t live in a bubble, communication is often necessary in order to explain our behavior to our loved ones, getting the message across to ou...
