When you view another person as less than human, you feel entitled to do whatever you want to the person. Fear of those who are different can lead to mistreatment; fear of losing power and privilege can lead to inequality; fear of change can lead to close-mindedness; and fear of pain can lead to desperation and betrayal. Why do some feel guilty about hurting people who have hurt them over and over without seeming to care about the consequences? Many of us actually have a conscience and care about people. Some prefer to deal with problems in private, but that is not always possible and it can be embarrassing when you are trying to help a person and when they do something bad, they run and hide. However, deep down you know that person is hurting and being a good person you do not want to hurt them in return. And although people may know what is going on, it is still very embarrassing to get upset with another person and the perception of being means and knowing that you might have made someone sad, can in turn make you sad. When you combine unhealthy fear with a lack of empathy, you open a psychological door that allows people to harm others without pangs of conscience. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 7

We are all ready to be savage in some cause. The difference between a good person and a bad one is the choice between the cause. The lack of human companionship or the loss of a loved one can have serious effects on our physical and mental well-being. And, somethings can trigger painful memories, especially when the person has not apologized nor paid for the damage. Some people will do things they know hurt you because they know that it will alter your life and because you pain. And others allow them because they need money. Sometimes we can tell people who hurt us have good inside, there is a light hidden deep inside the dark shadows. Both light and the dark sides unite us all. The unconscious is not just evil by nature, it is also the source of the highest good: not only dark but also light, not only bestial, semihuman, and demonic but superhuman, spiritual, and divine. Even if other people have hurt us or behave in ways we do not understand, why should try to be kind to them because traumatic brain injury can alter the way a person acts, feels, or thinks. An individual may not be able to express himself like he was able to in the past. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 7

Just like many people see others who look perfectly normal, but they are autistic and we may be unaware. However, because the people look perfectly normal, we expect them to behave in certain ways and community the way we do, but they may not be able to. A normally empathic individual will be particularly prone to experiencing sadness when others around him or her feel blue, fear when others get scared, or happiness when others are upbeat. And some people do not communicate verbally as others do. They speak with their eyes, facial expression, and the like. And so, learning to forgive others is to make sure we do not coldly exploit them or hurt them when they may need us most. Basic human emotions such as fear and anger, all of which serve a variety of adaptive survival function, send some down the path to the dark side. Good people can lose touch with their own moral concerns for many reason beyond their control when they do not learn to forgive and try to understand others. That is why it is important to rise to the occasion when friends and others need you most, especially if you know the worse days are behind you. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 7

There was once these two little boys, and they both were pretty normal. However, one went away to Summer camp and suffered a traumatic injury and his friend did not know. When he came home, the boy who suffered the injury looked angry and made faces at his friend and then would vanish for weeks, then return and just look at his friend and walk away. So, of course this created conflict between the two. Then the boy who went to Summer camp, let the air out of his friend’s bike tires and locked his bike so he could not use it. And the boy got so upset that he yelled and screamed at his friend and did not want to talk to him anymore. However, later on, he found out the boy who went to Summer camp suffered an injury and had late set autism. And he did not know how to verbally communicate. So, he would do things like let the air out of his friend’s tires so he would not go anywhere and get hurt. And he would vanish because he was sad and liked to spend time alone in his room watching the TV. Different strengths contribute to our virtues. People judge heroic acts in terms of how altruistic those actions are, the degree to which they involve selflessly helping other is not always clear. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 7

We have to remember that just because people look normal, it does not mean that they do not have physical, mental, or verbal limitations. One delightful discovery we will make when we learn to accept others and ourselves as we are, we discover that our capacity for love is far beyond what we ever dreamed. The more we let go of our expectations of others, the more loving we become. As this happens, our life will become transformed. We look different. People respond differently to us. We are relaxed, happy, and easy-going. People are attracted to us because they feel comfortable and happy around us. As we let go of the negative, we come into our own power. So, the boys we talked about earlier, the one who was not autistic finally realized his friend has changed. When he saw him one night and said, “Hello,” and his friend just opened his mouth and tried to say, “Hello” back, but the words did not come out. No one told him that his friend had went through some changes because it was a private matter. What made him finally let go of his anger and see that something was different is because he did not want to be a bully, too. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 7

Love is the most powerful of the emotional vibrations. For love, people will go to any lengths and do things that they would never do for any amount of money. When I turn to God and by belief accept what God reveals, the miraculous atonement by the Cross of Christ instantly places me into a right relationship with God. And as a result of the supernatural miracle of God’s grace, I stand justified, not because I am sorry for my sin, or because I have repented, but because of what Jesus has done. Having the reality of God’s presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually. Our problems arise when we refuse to place our trust in the reality of God’s presence. If our everyday decisions are not according to His will, God will press through them, bringing restraint to our spirit. Then we must be quiet and wait for the direction of His presence. It is generally recognized that children need love, and if they do not receive it from their biological parents, society has an obligation to help them. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 7

Similarly, when adults suffer from interruptions in dialogue of life—when they are bereaved, experiencing divorce or separation, living alone or lonely—they too need help, and it is in society’s collective interest to provide it. How many persons we meet in houses, whom we scarcely speak to, whom yet we know, and who know us! How many we see in the street, or sit with in church, whom though silently, we warmly rejoice to be with! Read the language of these wandering eye-beams. The heart knoweth. We must also remember another aspect of the connection between health and companionship, everyone’s life is unique. No two people experience precisely the same social support, either in childhood or in adult life. Thus, while overall health trends can be assessed by examining mortality statistic in large populations, eventually that macroscopic view must be complemented by an examination of the unique social experiences of the individual. In order to bridge this gap and examine how human relationships affect the healthy status of individual people, we must focus on the individual through his unique life experiences. #RyanPhillippe 7 of 7
