Whenever we use emotional words in the conversation we rarely attempt to confirm if our view of a selected emotional word, for e.g. 'happy', corresponds with someone else's notion of the same abstract concept. Happiness is happiness and sadness is sadness. There is a folk realizing that emotions are something which we intuitively know and comprehend in spite of one's cultural background.  But various disciplines in social sciences have demostrated over and over that folk idea of people rarely ever tells the full story.

It's been so effective it is often adapted by health care facilities and participated by a huge selection of patients, especially people who find themselves coping with serious illnesses.

Words are never enough. We need prayers for Boston, we'd like prayers for Martin?s parents Bill and Denise and daughter Jane. Jane and Denise were seriously injured inside the bomb blast. To think this son was inside the stands regarding his mom and sister cheering his dad home breaks my heart. So senseless.
