- 3992: Writings of Confucius, Hammurabi's Code Of Laws, And Egypt's Book Of The Dead

In Confucius' writings, he never actually says the word "justice", but he does say "Great Man cherishes excellence; Petty Man, his own comfort.

- ... that used in the awake state. He believed this was what dominated the dreaming mind. He described this "process" as characterized by more primitive mechanisms, by rapid shifts in energy and emotion, and by a great deal of sexual and aggressive content derived from childhood.

The individual goes from awake to stage 1, then to 2, 3, and finally 4, the deepest ... theory based upon his belief that the surface content of dreams is the meaning and that deep symbolic interpretations has little importance, as what Freud had believed.

Other pillars held ears of wheat, oats and barley, gigantic bunches of red and white grapes, great livery pots of claret and white wine, sea fish in quantity laying upon fresh grass, and the last pillar was devoted to the arts. There were arms and music explained by a blue-clad poet ... here. Let Housewife be carver, let pottage be eat, a dishful each one with a morsel of meat.

- ... reason, many psychologists believe that when a child is psychologically abused in schools, it will have a far worse effect on children all throughout their lifetime, and quite often lead to stress related diseases (ulcer, depression etc.) and may even lead to suicide.

Yet, now in retrospect, I no longer consider him to be the great adventurer that I saw him as in my childhood. On his seven voyages, Sinbad encountered every obstacle one could possibly think of. He and his crew met up with: a fish so large, many mistook ... land to another. Yet, on each of these trips, something incredible happened to him and his crew, resulting in a dead crew and a fantastic story for Sinbad the sailor. Secondly, all of Sinbad's great adventures occurred sequentially. In other words, he went immediately from one adventure to another without so much as a nap in between. This man never had a quiet boat ride in the entire span of ... or some other accident after all. Sinbad was a mythic hero; a hero for everyone with a love for adventure. But now, I tend to think that Sinbad the sailor may not have been the great adventure that he has been made out to be. Maybe there is more to the tale of Sinbad than we know.
