KINDNESS IS HUMAN FACE

World Kindness Day 13th November Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Mark Twain A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money. John Ruskin Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Created in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, a conglomeration of kindness organizations around the world, this unofficial holiday encourages people to be kind to each other and spread happiness, joy and peace through kindness. Considered to be a virtue, and valued in most societies and religions as an important quality, kindness is the act of being considerate, compassionate and empathetic towards other people and living beings. · Be kind and do random acts of kindness. · Smile at strangers and do kind things for them. Give up your seat on the bus to someone else. · Kindness should not only be reserved for our fellow human beings. Be kind to the animals and to the environment as well. . · If you have children in your life, teach them the virtue of kindness by practicing it in your daily life. Kindness Day isn’t just about adopting all the children from your local orphanage – it’s about the little gestures of kindness too. Helping others can restore a sense of humanity, not to mention giving you that warm fuzzy glow inside. Kindness Day was born when a collection of humanitarian groups came together on November 13, 1997 and made a “Declaration of Kindness”. Likewise, on Kindness Day everyone is encouraged to make a similar declaration. Donating books, food or clothes to your local community is a great way to celebrate. However, pledging to commit just one act of kindness is no less worthwhile: hold the door open for a stranger, compliment your neighbour on their collection of garden gnomes, let your partner have control of the TV remote for the evening. Be Kind Always…. --

உளவியல் பொருள்,வரையறை, வகைகள் மற்றும் உளவியல் பிரிவுகள்.

உளவியல் வளர்ச்சி :   ஆரம்பகால உளவியல் தத்துவம் மற்றும் உயிரியல் இரண்டிலிருந்தும் உருவானது. இந்த இரண்டு பாடங்களின் கலந்துரையாடல்களும் அரிஸ்டாட்டில் மற்றும் சாக்ரடீஸ் உள்ளிட்ட ஆரம்பகால கிரேக்க சிந்தனையாளர்களிடமிருந்தே உள்ளன. "உளவியல்" என்ற சொல் கிரேக்க வார்த்தையிலிருந்து உருவானது  ஆன்மா , அதாவது "வாழ்க்கை" அல்லது "மூச்சு" என்று பொருள். இந்த வார்த்தையின் பெறப்பட்ட அர்த்தங்களில் "ஆன்மா" அல்லது "சுய" ஆகியவை அடங்கும்.  உளவியல் என்ற ஆங்கில சொல் Psyche மற்றும் logos என்ற இரு கிரேக்க பொருட்களில் இருந்து தோன்றியதாகும். Psyche சைக்கி என்ற சொல் ஆன்மாவையும் logos லோகோஸ் என்ற சொல் ஆராயும் இயலையும் குறிக்கும் .  ஆன்மாவியல் ( science of the soul)   ஆரம்ப காலகட்டங்களில் உளவியல் என்பது ஆன்மாவை ஆராயும் இயலாக கருதப்பட்டது.ஆனால் ஆன்மா என்பது கண்களால் காண இயலாத, புலன்களால் உணர முடியாத, மனித உடலில் அதன் இருப்பிடத்தையும் குறிப்பிட முடியாத ஒன்றாக இருந்ததினால் அந்த கருத்துக்கு அதிகமான எதிர்ப்புகள் இருந்தன. மனவியல் (science of the mind) அதன்பின் உளவியலுக்கு புதிய...
