i have spent too much time on here over the xmas hols, thanks mainly to our rotten uk weather.. i am back at work tomorrow, where i can at least talk with other science grads who actually understand how the world works, and where i can have intelligent conversations about cosmetic ingredients.

yes cosmetic ingredients!

i know that what i do is not making an enormous difference (except for eczema sufferers), but trying to debate stupidity on here over the last 3 weeks has been totally fruitless and frustrating.

Reminds me of the universal answer for eveything

Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental

some are so skilled at reading intent of mind

I remember many a JW saying the same thing. Next you'll be talking about "drilling a hole in their heads to pour in the 'truth'." You're not a JW anymore. People don't have to believe or not believe as you do or don't.

This is the mental attitude to take to avoid frustration for sure.

There is a difference between being exasperated and being frustrated however.

So let’s define the terms..... To exasperate someone is to ask them to do (or believe ) something they cannot do. To frustrate someone is to ask them to do (or believe ) something they do not want to do

A toddler, for example doesn’t care if it is cold outside. All the explanations in the world aren’t going to convince him of this. If you want him to wear a coat and he is refusing to put it on, just put it on him. If, on the other hand, you try to teach your toddler to tie his shoes, you will exasperate him. He doesn’t have sufficient coordination or mental problem solving ability to accomplish this. Sometimes we try to advance our children too fast.

In both cases however the above advice is invaluable ..stay calm why let anger get the best of you ?

We may be astounded or even shocked by a belief if we there after attach a strong emotion it can lead to frustration

We may be astounded or even shocked by opinion... but if we attach a strong emotion to it

Frustration is a feeling within us that we can control if we so choose .... because it is a that something is beyond our control that we don't like

If we truly have confidence our belief we will not feel threatened. Conviction gives peace

We may be astounded but if we attach a strong emotion this is what could lead to frustration for sure

Astound...To astonish and bewilder
