the impact of words greater than the impact of actual behavior??

My opinion;
Impact of words is greater if you are using them via Telephone.
But this also shows your behavior.

So over all , why would you separate those two?
They go hand in hand together.

As of your soul question;
You do not heal a soul in active life duty.
(Broken soul is some old folklore saying)

Have fun at your Psi classes :)

finally somebody questioning.

first of all. it wasn't wrong, but wasn't right either.
On the emotional stability scale, i have a very high score. Therefore for me it was true. If you are emotional unstable, easy things can get to you. Some extreme example. Our both cats get run over, before our eyes. you probably would start crying, and your emotions would take over. As for me i wouldn't cry, nor would you see a lot of emotion, which doesn't mean i don't have them, it just means, i don't have them as forceful or strong than you have.


secondly bullying.

i thought i wrote, that the bad guy bullied the girl, with words, to make the point that even a total stranger can hurt you really bad, with just words.
and yes there are a lot of types of bullying. and not all of them as you might have suggested depend on verbal communication. :)

Third: the broken soul.

As for me i believe in the paradigm of cognitive neuroscience. Yes you are right, i do not believe in a soul, nor do i believe in god, i believe in nature.

I believe a that what we call soul, arises from millions � of neurons sending information. don't hate me for it, i won't say anything about religion either. :)

Well, if u still follow, i just gave the 'soul' a physical organ, the brain.
and know the real question, i would like to answer.

can words, hurt the brain as much, as a punch can hurt the liver?

i put in words, that everyone understands, without explaining. but i was wondering when somebody would start question things. :)

It's often the case that you psychologists are more crazy than anyone
But I think Psychological abuse is possibly worse than physical abuse.

On a happier note, a simple ' I love you' possibly means more than a bunch of flowers.

So I'll go for words

yes, bad example given. i seem to have only bad examples. :-p

but there we go separate ways, i believe that the brain itself, the organ, can be damaged by words. because the brain literally is millions and millions of neurones. and the mental state, is based on these neurons as is also your voice in your head. which most people call 'self'.
therefore..new thoughts must, new behavior, must be found by building new connections, since the brain is unable to regenerate neurons. the connections between neurons get stronger when you use it.

and now imagine a thought that is self distructive, but it stays in your mind, for a long long period of time.

think it through for yourself. it is just a hypothesis, and not proven what so ever.

thank you jackie! :)


That would be interesting to study. I have read a book from Dr. Renard who is on a similar wavelength to you. He states that emotional trauma can cause different physical dysfunctions..thus even different types of cancer.
Who knows ?

That's what I was saying, somewhere in the middle of my reply. Guess you didn't understand it.

negative words leave a lasting damaging impact. it takes multiple positive phrases and actions to even begin to erase the damage
