Admittedly, the act of crying helped me relieve stress and improved my mental health when I was in my twenties. I was sometimes a crying drunk at a party. Thank goodness, that article reminded me of how good it is even for adults to CRY!! ‘Catharsis’—Aristotle called the experience—it’s a purification or cleansing of minds particularly through pity, sorrow and sympathy. Ancient Greek people knew how to relieve stress through tragedies (and comedies). Oh, has anyone watched ‘Song For Marion’? I highly recommend it if you want catharsis. It’s a sad yet beautiful movie... Cheers!
Yes, catharsis is a good thing for everyone. And there are many ways to get it. For example, playing the drums also relieves stress (for the drummer, but may cause stress for the listener!!)
There was a mistake last time. Proud and arrogant of Taira Family go before a fall."おごる平家は久しからず" Art is to conceal art."秘すれば花"(add Japanese)
This week: Don't put all your eggs in one basket. <--> Nought is never in danger. Though, the more danger, the more honer or Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
To deceive a deceiver is no deceit.
P.S. I wonder it will take five decades to get out of the plateau. He is a teacher, a mentor or a catalyst? Anyway, practice makes perfect!
