ellauri029.html on line 354: Hedonic psychology...is the study of what makes experiences and life pleasant or unpleasant. It is concerned with feelings of pleasure and pain, of interest and boredom, of joy and sorrow, and of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. It is also concerned with the whole range of circumstances, from the biological to the societal, that occasion suffering and enjoyment.
ellauri089.html on line 497: § 45. We must now proceed to consider the principle of Hedonism as an "Intuition", as which it has been clearly recognised by Prof. Sidgwick alone. That it should be thus incapable of proof is not, in itself, any reason for dissatisfaction. …
ellauri159.html on line 1207: According to PersonalityDesk.com, INFJs are the Myers-Briggs type most likely to express marital dissatisfaction. When I first read this, it puzzled me. After all, INFJs are adept at solving problems involving people. In fact, INFJs are so good at solving problems that they may unconsciously scan their environment looking for ways to improve relationships. This, I think, is what leads to the dissatisfaction.
ellauri159.html on line 1209: According to Dr. Phil, 90% of relationship problems can’t be solved. Why? Because it would require one person or the other to compromise their values. So the best a couple can do is to agree to disagree. INFJs don’t want people to compromise their values—yet that 90% statistic is bound to discourage INFJs like me. I suspect it isn’t the relationship problems themselves that lead to the INFJs’ dissatisfaction; it’s the fact that the problems can’t be solved. Perhaps the INFJs feel that if only they could be more creative, or their partner could be more flexible, the little annoyances that have existed since the first day of the relationship could be eliminated. Not so. No amount of skill or understanding will make naturally ingrained differences go away.
ellauri164.html on line 540: Whatever the reason for the drastic punishment, behold what grumbling does. It fuels discontent and bitterness. Be careful, fellow Christians; we can all succumb to the temptation to draw others into our anger, doubts, dissatisfaction, and fears. After all, misery loves company. Sharing concerns with friends is good and necessary, but this must be tempered by the knowledge that too much can harm them and us. A steady diet of grumbling is not good for anyone.

ellauri222.html on line 173: Saul and Sasha fought. Some of the strains were apparently due to sexual dissatisfaction. Bellow began seeing a psychologist, a man named Paul Meehl; Meehl suggested that Sasha see him as well (a suggestion that Leader charitably calls “unorthodox”). Ludwig served as a sympathetic confidant to both parties. Then, one day in the fall of 1959, Sasha told Bellow that she was leaving him. There was no third party in the picture, she said. She just did not love him.
ellauri476.html on line 141: Negatives of gooning? It sounds like you’re asking about the potential downsides or drawbacks of ‘gooning,’ a slang term often used to describe getting deeply fixated or aroused by porn. If that interpretation is correct, here are some concerns and considerations to be aware of. Excessive focus on porn can steal time from school, work, relationships, and self-care, leading to lower productivity and missed commitments. Heavy porn use can distort expectations about sex, bodies, and intimate encounters, making real-life experiences feel less satisfying or accurate. In some cases, intense porn use may contribute to issues like hirsute palms, desensitization, difficulty becoming aroused with a partner, or dependency on specific stimuli. For some, high porn usage can be associated with guilt, shame, anxiety, or depression, especially if it conflicts with personal or cultural values. If porn use becomes secretive or interferes with dating, intimacy, or trust, it can harm relationships with partners or peers. Late-night or binge consumption can disrupt sleep, affecting mood, concentration, and overall health. Repeated exposure to idealized bodies can lead to negative self- and other-image or body dissatisfaction.
ellauri480.html on line 338: In the parable, a landowner hires workers at various times but pays everyone the same wage, which causes dissatisfaction among those who worked longer. Just as latecomers receive the same wages as the full-day workers, windfall gains can be seen as a form of unexpected reward that some individuals receive without a commensurate investment of time or effort. The parable may challenge traditional capitalist views that prioritize meritocracy.
ellauri480.html on line 360: The parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16) illustrates themes of fairness, generosity, and the unexpected nature of God´s grace. In this story, workers are hired at different times throughout the day but receive the same pay, leading to discussions on windfall gains and equity in labor. In the parable, a landowner hires workers at various times but pays everyone the same wage, which causes dissatisfaction among those who worked longer. Key themes include Grace vs. Justice: The landowner represents God´s grace, demonstrating that divine generosity transcends human notions of fairness.The focus is less on the labor done and more on the outcome and the landowner´s will. Who cares what the wetbacks want.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 464: Narm is a moment that is supposed to be serious, but due to either over-sappiness, poor execution, excessive Melodrama, unneeded use of foul language, or the sheer absurdity of the situation, the drama is lost to the point of surpassing "cheesy" and becoming unintentionally funny. Sometimes also known as "Cringe": evoking dissatisfaction or even disgust from the poor execution, but said poor execution also evokes a kind of humour to make fun of.
xxx/ellauri179.html on line 149: The Jewish Princeton man and writer Cohn believes in love, romance and the ideals he finds in literature but he gets on the nerves of most of the other men in the novel by the way he pathetically hangs around Brett and with his "superior, Jewish" way. He becomes a target for the other men's dissatisfaction.
