Do you ever give it a rest?

I'm not on topic because this is an old thread.

I don't even remember the original point. I've written dozen and dozen of threads and I can't spend all my time re-reading old threads.



But you should learn to give it a rest....The fact that you can't indicates you are hyper-competitive.

Read the bible. God institutes the Sabbath as a day of rest for a reason....

People need their rest.

A person with 18,210 posts telling me to give it a rest. Heh.

So the Devil on earth can grab steering wheels? I didn't realise he had Dominion of earth in a similar way to our Lord. Good to Know.
If he is so powerful why don't you worship him? serious? They both do nasty stuff, both are all powerful, both look after their own.

You should learn to change gears in your mind for your bodies sake if nothing else not just on the poker table, y'know.

Didn't you know thinking on a high level can be exhausting. Some people even lose brain mass as they age.

So learning to rest could be very advantageous to you in your chosen profession. Actually, I don't know anyone who can afford dementia or Alzheimers.

God likes to keep our minds busy 6 days a week but he gives us the 7th to rest and take care of ourselves and re-connect with Him. He must have some purpose that's good for us and not just for Him. Because looking out for His people always seem to be the first thing on His mind.

I might have been wrong.

I haven't thought about that event a lot in my life recently.

So please just drop it because I haven't been thinking on it lately to have a clear recollection of the impression that those events made on me.

But I did drive over the patch of ground where the accident occurred and its a very high traffic highway. There are no potholes on that traffic circle.

It's the opposite, btw.

People who think too much are putting themselves at increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer's. You heard it here first, folks.

I didn't say that.

I said thinking can be tiring.

Not getting your rest puts your brain at risk.

Quotes:

Every animal sleeps, but why the brain needs sleep has remained a mystery. Neuroscientists now believe sleep is not only crucial to brain development, but is also necessary to help consolidate the effects of waking experience – by converting memory into more permanent and/or enhanced forms.


Sleeping problems are almost always involved in mental disorders, including depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, as well as head injury. And symptoms are strongly influenced by the amount of sleep a person gets. Difficulties may arise from the drugs used to control symptoms of a disorder, or from changes in the brain regions and neurotransmitters that control sleep.

I think the accident where I am suggesting there was a pothole, was the accident that your friend (not you) had where he insisted the steering wheel jerked out of his hand. Sorry I wasn't clear I was talking about two different events. Hopefully I didn't misread and am not misremembering your earlier recollection. We can drop it.

Sleeping =/= refusing to think about stuff.

Responding just because I'm tired of the whole Myers-Briggs personality test getting a free pass. When I was in graduate school for my psych masters years ago, the MB was already thought to be of dubious value and validity. It's fun, I guess, in a pop Psychology Today / Astrology type way but that's about it. Here's a summary from a researcher from Indiana University. TLDR for all but the most interested.

http://www.indiana.edu/~jobtalk/Arti...evelopmbti.pdf Conclusions
In a recent review of the MBTI, commissioned by the Army Research Institute, it was concluded that the instrument should not be used for career planning counseling. The Institute's analysis of the available research showed no evidence for the utility of the test. Indeed, with respect to career planning they note that "the types may simply be an example of stereotypes."

The MBTI reminds us of the olvious truth that all people are not alike, but then claims that every person can be fit neatly into one of 16 boxes. I believe that MBTI attempts to force the complexities of human personality into an artificial and limiting classification scheme. The focus on the "typing" of people reduces the attention paid to the unique qualities and potential of each individual. Many readers may be surprised by my interpretation and objections to such a popular test. It has been my experience that this reaction stems from how they view the MBTI. In many cases, the popularity of the instrument is interpreted as an indication of its accuracy and utility, which then leads to wider use and less inclination to question the foundations of the test. As a consequence, the MBTI has become a popular instrument for reasons unrelated to its reliability and validity.

The publishers do a very good job of promoting the test and providing support for its users. The MBTI also has much intuitive appeal. The descriptions of each type are generally flattering and sufficiently vague so that most people will accept the statements as true of themselves. If you tell people that they are "innovative thinkers and good problem solvers, and good at understanding and motivating people, but may have trouble following through on details of a project," they will believe that the statement is an accurate description of themselves regardless of the truth of the statement. This phenomenon is known as the "Barnum Effect," named in honor of the great entertainer. Because of its apparent simplicity, the MBTI may be misused unintentionally by some people. A manager, for example, may come to believe that only certain personality types are appropriate for specific jobs. After learning about type, such a manager may conclude that only ISTJs make good accountants whereas the best people for the sales force will be the ESFJs. Thus, the type label may bias a manager's decisions on hiring, firing, evaluating, and promoting. Similarly, employees may use type labels inappropriately. Thus, one might feel that "She's an INFP, so
I will never be able to work with her on an assignment," or that "I'm an ESTP and don't do well when it comes to details." etc ...

Splendour doesn't care about facts. She believes what she likes to believe.

So? It's just a start at understanding things.

Like the theory of evolution.

It doesn't tell all things.

Btw, the MBTI makes no hard claim imo. You can test out as more than one personality type. But then again...some knowledge is better than no knowledge, isn't it?

Or else so many people wouldn't depend on science which hasn't answered all questions yet has it?

Fine and good, I'm all for just a start at understanding things for all of us, but your posts are very definitive and authoritative. If you complain when someone responds that you posted a different view a year ago (since your view is ever refined and evolving) then my response is, in that case, humility is in order. In that case, why should we wholeheartedly invest in what you say now, in the present, as truth, when it might change in the not too distant future? Humility, you see what I'm saying? Much the same could be said for JWitnesses who claim a false worlds end at various points. I might argue, that the 1914 date was wrong, the 1975 date was obviously wrong, but now you say 2014. Well, maybe ... but you can't expect perfect confidence, and you should be somewhat humble in expressing this item as fact. No?

I don't post on here to argue though I got caught up in it for a good long while.

When you deliver the Gospel you're not delivering an argument you are delivering the most important thing in the world: God's love for the world.

Love is the strongest substance known to man. The proliferation or lack of it makes all the difference in human development.

Do you really think God should entrust the delivery of it to a weak minded person?

Sense, this makes none.

Well then if your mind can't compute the weightier matters in life maybe you should be quiet and think longer about things before speaking (posting).

The ability to really think is acquired over time.
