There's a lot of bullshit out there but psychology is not bullshit.

I dunno, when you start getting into some of the more weird Freudian things involving parent complexes, phallic symbols, and such it does get to be a little bullshitty.

When we do something, and it makes us feel good, we want to do it again... and more often. This is why you don't see a lot of Buddhist monks throwing bricks through storefront windows on their path to enlightenment and Lifetime original movies spend more on broken casserole dishes than on acting. The rush of anger is addictive as hell, and letting yourself lash out as a means to control your anger is like drinking to control your urge to drink.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cracked.com/article/85_6-bullshit-facts-about-psychology-that-everyone-believes/"><DIV class="Title2">"Just Believe in Yourself, and You'll Succeed!"</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cracked.com/article/85_6-bullshit-facts-about-psychology-that-everyone-believes/"><DIV align="center" id="Amplify-HighlightDivChild"><IMG width="16" height="16" id="Amplify-HighlightDivChild" src="http://content0.clipmarks.com/images/toolbar/highlight-close.png" /></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F59465C9-825B-44C7-8650-6F250A12AEF0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
