It’s hard to know how people select a course in life,
Amos said. The big choices we make are practically random. The small choices probably tell us more about who we are. Which field we go into may depend on which high school teacher we happen to meet. Who we marry may depend on who happens to be around at the right time of life. On the other hand, the small decisions are very systematic. That I became a psychologist is probably not very revealing. What kind of psychologist I am may reflect deep traits.

Why Do People Bully? The Scientific Reasons
“In a recent Ditch the Label study, we spoke to 7,347 people about bullying. We asked respondents to define bullying and then later asked if, based on their own definition, they had ever bullied anybody. 14% of our overall sample, so that’s 1,239 people, said yes. What we then did was something that had never been done on this scale before; we asked them intimate questions about their lives, exploring things like stress and trauma, home lives, relationships and how they feel about themselves.”

What happens when a soul gets “lost”?
As Blaylock-Johnson explains, “Soul loss can be defined as a type of fragmentation that can occur after some type of trauma. Psychologically, it can be explained as dissociation, but it’s a way we learn to survive traumatic events.”
Hypnotist and author of WishCraft Shauna Cummins believes this can happen at any time and can also build up gradually. When we become burnt out (physically, mentally, emotionally, and/or spiritually), have strayed from our purpose, or experience something traumatizing, any of these things can cause the soul to “disconnect.”

You can’t judge people only by how they treat you. The true test of character is how they treat those they don’t like or need.
Even if someone is kind to you, proceed with caution if they’re consistently unkind to others.
Selective civility is a sign of deep-seated hostility.

Snake oil
Snake oil is a term used to describe deceptive marketing, health care fraud,
or a scam. Similarly, “snake oil salesman” is a common expression used
to describe someone who sells, promotes, or is a general proponent of
some valueless or fraudulent cure, remedy, or solution. The term comes from the “snake oil” that used to be sold as a cure-all
elixir for many kinds of physiological problems. Many 19th-century
United States and 18th-century European entrepreneurs advertised and
sold mineral oil (often mixed with various active and inactive household herbs, spices, drugs, and compounds, but containing no snake-derived substances whatsoever) as “snake oil liniment”, making claims about its efficacy as a panacea. Patent medicines
that claimed to be a panacea were extremely common from the 18th
century until the 20th, particularly among vendors masking addictive
drugs such as cocaine, amphetamine, alcohol and opium-based concoctions or elixirs, to be sold at medicine shows as medication or products promoting health.
