I was awakened this morning at 7 by the noise of a nearby children’s school having a program -the microphone was louder than the children! At first, I got irritated because I slept late at 3am drafting articles. Later when the teacher started talking about health, I became interested when she said that being healthy doesn’t only mean absence of disease. Then, she mentioned the World Health Organization’s definition of health as being “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. I will illustrate how fragile this Health Triangle can be.
The mention of the words social well-being started me thinking:’so if a person cannot be socially healthy because of negative home environment, it would follow that his mental health will suffer too. Then if his mental health suffers, then surely his physical health will suffer too’! What a spiral. So that’s how fragile personal health can be. It’s like saying ‘When my toe hurts, my whole body suffers’, which of course is true.
So the gist is: Having a peaceful home environment is VERY IMPORTANT. Which, unfortunately, isn’t my case. I can even say that I live in a den of snakes.
You see, in our compound, there is a thief that has struck four times.
And the thief is evidently a close friend or a relative; the thief only robs one thing at one time, not all valuables at one time.
What if I catch the thief and violence ensues? My mother has hypertension. She might suffer a stroke and even die. So revenge and counter-revenge follows, which could now be called a clan war. See what petty theft could spark in a negative environment? I even have a neighbor who boasts that he isn’t afraid of police. Maybe he isn’t afraid of the army and the feds too. Any takers? I’m near taking on his challenge. A cop should do that first. -pochp 11/ 20/ 09

I took a personality test at Ipersonic and this was the result:
Independent Thinkers are analytical and witty persons. They are normally self-confident and do not let themselves get worked up by conflicts and criticism. They are very much aware of their own strengths and have no doubts about their abilities. People of this personality type are often very successful in their career as they have both competence and purposefulness. Independent Thinkers are excellent strategists; logic, systematics and theoretical considerations are their world. They are eager for knowledge and always endeavour to expand and perfect their knowledge in any area which is interesting for them. Abstract thinking comes naturally to them; scientists and computer specialists are often of this type.
Independent Thinkers are specialists in their area. The development of their ideas and visions is important to them; they love being as flexible as possible and, ideally, of being able to work alone because they often find it a strain having to make their complex trains of thought understandable to other people. Independent Thinkers cannot stand routine. Once they consider an idea to be good it is difficult to make them give it up; they pursue the implementation of that idea obstinately and persistently, also in the face of external opposition.
Independent Thinkers are not the type who easily comes out of his shell. Speaking about their emotional life is also not one of their strong points. Anyway, social relationships are not particularly important to them; they are happy with just a few, close friends who find it easy to share their intellectual world. They find it difficult to establish new ties. In love, they need a lot of space and independence but this does not mean that their partner is not important to them. Independent Thinkers often make a cool and reserved impression on others; but this impression is deceptive: they can hardly bear it if people close to them should reject them. They prefer a harmonious, balanced relationship with a partner who shares their interests and with whom they can realise their visions.
