I Power
Scientific Research & Self-Development Activism
Moving Foward
Since I have joined I Power I have consistently been active reading the old and new discussions. This post though, is to encourage new members (such as myself) to add more to the discussions as well as creating your own. This is my first post and until recently I had always avoided making a post; being that everyone on here seemed far more advanced in their writing style and that I was young. I have always realized that there can be a contribution from everyone and this is mine. So I ask all you members who read regularly and those who do not, to contribute your thoughts to I Power, to help the site and future sites to flourish with your information, experience and stories. You only have something to gain. Take the criticisms well and grow so that your post may inspire someone, someday as many on here have you.

Everyone has something to give. Writing style doesn't trump good information. I'm looking forward to seeing your future posts.

Anthony D replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."An issue in the context of your reply is the so-called "mad/bad debate". And it very much plays into the perception of these rather extreme forms of criminal behavior.

Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Interesting. I think that just being aware that our behavior is not always justified and taking on some personal responsibility can go a long way."
Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Maybe I take empathy and attempting to understand such actions by people to the extreme, but I think it is important to understand the causes of such behavior. You do bring up a good point about school shootings Nathaniel, in that the media makes…"
Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."I agree with the principle to an extent. However, in the case of school shooters, I don't think it can be justified. Same with rape. There's definitely a line, but like you said, those are the most extreme cases.
