Study Finds Female Beauty Is Male Drug
Brain scans show a man's reaction to seeing beautiful women is similar
to an addict's when he get his fix.
The study seems to be proof feminine beauty affects the male brain at
its most basic level.
Pictures of attractive women activated the same reward circuits in the
brains of heterosexual men as food and cocaine.
The study may help prove we are born knowing what is beautiful and what
is not.
Dan Ariely, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a
co-author
of the study, said: "This is hard-core circuitry. Beauty is working
similar to a drug."
In a second, related study, men were shown random pictures of women for
several seconds, but could extend or cut the viewing time by pressing
keys on a keypad.
Attractive women were viewed an average of 8.7 seconds while others
were
viewed for 5.2 seconds.
The men worked frantically to keep the beautiful women on the screen,
each pressing the keyboard an average of more than 6,700 times in 40
minutes.
A researcher said: ''These guys look like rodents bar-pressing for
cocaine."
Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General
Hospital
have published their work in the journal "Neuron".

UGLINESS...
I didn't look at the mirror...
I have a new perspective about beauty and ugly now... I still remember the first day I was in this office. My being brought up in Karnataka made it more than sufficing to making the whole experience as crappy as possible.. I remembered that only beautiful people have the rights to be good hosts or receptionists ... so called front office...
the best ideas were deep necks and full blown cleavages and beautiful faces.
Welcome to Hyderabad... forget aobut the cleavages you would want to even cover their faces...
today I have my receptionist sitting side by me... I wouldn't even let her wash my clothes... coz I think it would become dirty... haha....
this was me 3 years back... today I have a new perspective... beauty is something that comes from the inside...
thanks to someone I met just a couple of months back, I finally cant differentiate between people as Ugly and beautiful.. what happend to me .. did anything change yes.. ME :( how is another thing... I have become something that one special person wanted / wants me to be...
acceptance was crap for me just an year back and today I accept myself as what I am ... and accept also that I have got what I deserve, well that is another notion....
this is definitely just a beginning of self-realization

Win Lose
Wow ... what a concept... you lose to win you win to lose...
I think there is not much difference...
but there is definitely something that will tell you, that you lost. that is when you stop trying, or should I say stop fighting for it.
The day before I got my fortune it read
you are getting your way to success in your own soft and humble way, well that is right
it sucks there is nothing that can beat what you can give up for what you aim for.
Well even if you won't win it should not matter you would have atleast lost more than what you deserve, doesn't sound quite like a proposition. But that's how it is.
You most of the time wait a little too long planning on how you can do it right. Take this ... the more you wait the tougher it becomes and the more comfort you want to have the lesser comfy it gets.
Let me know if that is not right

Acceptance
I just heard on TV... Never let anybody make you feel you don't deserve what you want.
Is it somebody else or is it just us that makes us feel the way we actually feel ...
or is it that there is some unknown force that acts upon us to make us feel the way we do..
I guess the momment we start interacting with one another we also have our senses running with us that may be evident or not but their effect is very inherent.. this should obviously lead to the fact that we are all bound by some external force that makes it's presence felt with the instances that we experience...
well why do we want something. is it our love towards the thing that we want or is it the love towards us and making us to feel better by haveing that something.
if it is the former it is okay but if it is the latter than it is always us an not anybody else. we decide that we want somethign and start going after it and eventually there can be two results one is to have it and the other is not to have it...
if we are just having it for the sake of it then it doesn't make any sense the momment you get it.. but if it is for us (the feeling of getting)... this can go on for sometime and now just like any other addiction .. you start wanting more.
who am I bluffing ... it is the way things are ...

love and hate....
what do you make of this... is there any of it at all or is it just about getting what you want and not getting what you wanted..
you feel the extreme urge to do anything for something or somebody; it doesn't matter whether what you are going to get back out of it. there is always an urge deep inside to do it all... express your complete self ... impplore your own self in somebody or something...
This must be the reason for a living or is this living!!! we all want to find a cause for our lives, and absolutely want to have a goal that we can look up to and move towards... and believe we are moving ahead or behind...

Sometimes you repent for doing somethings.
This has always intrigued me .... sometimes you repent for doing something.... or sometimes you repent not doing something, that you didn't do only because you didn't want to repent doing it...
This gets to your nerves... what you are doign may seem right at that momment but our brain plays tricks calculates the past and teh future of your deeds... and now... makes you take a decision for that momment ... which you may repent later..
Here me correctly ... you may repent later or feel proud that you took the decision..but the former is always true... at least in my case...
thinking about something only makes it worse... just letting it go also doesn't help possibly only way to do it is to take that absolute step of adequacy...

Today... The queen
I have always been a great admirer of the Monarchs... possibly because of British cinema... or should I say the glorified views on the Monarchs ...
Today I figured out ... time has changed... and what I know was true only a couple of centuries back...
Look at this.. the over hyped adultress Diana... or the queen who is no more than just somebody who wears the crown...
This has changed everything... we are no different than them... we are just living in a dream that someone ... somewhere else is just better... and drowning ourselves with loads of CRAP...
Think about it...

Conversations you want to have ....
Lizzie-> oh hooooooo
Lizzie-> golden opp missed
/Unknolwledge naaa
Lizzie-> :D
Lizzie-> ??
/Unknolwledge it is not worth it to keep what's not yours
/Unknolwledge :-)
Lizzie-> why not
/Unknolwledge well it is not right :D
/Unknolwledge you can't digest it
Lizzie-> well all fair
Lizzie-> u can
Lizzie-> if its given , it should be taken
Lizzie-> ;)
/Unknolwledge some how I believe that if you can't have somethign wholeheartedly it doesn't stick for too long
Lizzie-> if u can have it , ten snatch it
/Unknolwledge I don't believe in that too.... snatching will only make you have it but can't hold on to it :-)
Lizzie-> well at least u have it
Lizzie-> so its ok
/Unknolwledge hm... it actually doesn't make it any comfortable having it ... knowing inside that you don't have it righfully
Lizzie-> when it come to attainment all fair in right n wrong
/Unknolwledge hm... if it comes to that then the whole idea of righteousness is rediculed... and the fact that it would make it more materialistic wouldn't give any room for us .... differentiating as humans....
Lizzie-> when u want some thin and can actually get it, being human or demon is all a myth
/Unknolwledge teh whole life is just to see the brighter side it and warding the dark off... and possibly spread the light through to more ....
/Unknolwledge Well it is my perspective on it ...
/Unknolwledge doesn't actually have to matter how it has to be though
Lizzie-> darkness n brightness , depend on individual perception
/Unknolwledge absolutely...
/Unknolwledge tht's where it all leads to...
Lizzie-> we see things hoe we would lik to envisage it
/Unknolwledge all darkness and light are right within us...
Lizzie-> no
Lizzie-> not always
/Unknolwledge they are always... we can listen to what we actually like ....
Lizzie-> well some time s we r made to listen to
Lizzie-> tats an exception
/Unknolwledge hm...
/Unknolwledge exactly ... we get opinions ... but the decision is entirely ours
Lizzie-> decisions are forced n v are left wit no choice
Lizzie-> ie its also called sacrifice
/Unknolwledge well need arises to do a greater thing then it may ask for a decision that may not exactly what we have in mind ....
/Unknolwledge even then all we have to do is choose ... and it may be sacrifice but then it is still a conscious decision ...
Lizzie-> but tats when one should cling on to one s own ,
Lizzie-> sacrifices for others , make living no point
/Unknolwledge for some are born great .... some thrive for greatness and for some ..... greatness is thrust upon them...
/Unknolwledge the ones that we are reffering to in here are the last ones
Lizzie-> greatness is granted to all , depends on hoe we classify it
Lizzie-> n it differs
reach2app is idle for 0:00:00
/Unknolwledge absolutely tht's what teh person who sacrifices feels upon the greatness being thrust upon...
Lizzie-> well .....
Lizzie-> sacrifice is not always greatness
Lizzie-> its sometimes absolute despondency n lack of ur own spirit
/Unknolwledge and possibly makes sense to sacrifice when it is only worth it ... or entirely convinced that it was worth it...
Lizzie-> yup
/Unknolwledge and that would be something that would be repented as long as one lives if the sacrifice is not for greatness
Lizzie-> but its not worth the effort
/Unknolwledge WELL I believe it is worth it ... if you know what you are doing ...
Lizzie-> repentance , regret n remorse is all u get for sacrifice
Lizzie-> not worth it at all
/Unknolwledge possibly if you accept your sacrifice... then it wouldn't be repentance...
Lizzie-> u d be playin wit so many lives
/Unknolwledge depends on what the sacrifice is ...
Lizzie-> acceptance would be forsed
Lizzie-> watever it is
Lizzie-> does not matter
Lizzie-> it deals wit givin up something
Lizzie-> unless tat somethin is important to u
Lizzie-> then it ok
Lizzie-> OR else ................................ hmmmmm .........
/Unknolwledge for what I know it is got more to do with giving up the thing that you want the most .... that would make you grow above.... it ... and tehn it wouldn't be a sacrifice ...
/Unknolwledge huh... I am teaching you bhagavadgeetha :D
Lizzie-> when u give up the thing u want the most its called depravity
Lizzie-> u d be hollow 4 as long as u live ,
/Unknolwledge yes... we need to create that space in us so that we can reach out to the one ... and fill him in us...
/Unknolwledge the more we desire the more we want we are always filled ... may it be wealth ... pride or knowledge... for us to go any greater we ... unlearn..
Lizzie-> u dont need to unlearn anythin
Lizzie-> enlightenment jus happens
Lizzie-> if we r willing to let it happ
/Unknolwledge yes... we can start by atleast making some space in us so that the enlightenment can reach to us
Lizzie-> enlightmnt makes space
Lizzie-> u dont m=need to crate any space 4 tat
/Unknolwledge it does...
Lizzie-> nope
/Unknolwledge possibly it is when you knwo that you are in teh right direction... that you start giving up (making space) ... and your actions are controlled by an unknown power (enlightenment)
/Unknolwledge and you also know that you are merely a part of teh being and not exactly in control of anything
Lizzie-> well when ur rite
Lizzie-> u create a space in others
Lizzie-> and as for control
Lizzie-> we r all contollled by a mighty force
Lizzie-> we jus dont realise it
/Unknolwledge well the realization is always very evident ... we just have to start seeing it ...
/Unknolwledge and as you said when it happens it hapens
Lizzie-> u will not see it until ur destined to
Lizzie-> till ten we r guided
/Unknolwledge I agree on that absolutely
Lizzie-> oh noooooooo
