We not only freeze when confronted by physical and visual threats, (…), threats from things we hear (aural threats) can also alert the limbic system. For instance, when being chastised, most people hold very still. The same behavior is observed when an individual is being questioned about matters that he or she perceives could get them into trouble. The person will freeze in his chair as if in an “ejector seat” (Gregory, 1999).
A similar manifestation of the limbic freeze occurs during interviews when people hold their breath or their breathing becomes very shallow. Again, this is a very ancient response to a threat. It is not noticed by the interviewee and yet it is quite observable to anyone watching for it. I have often had to tell an interviewee to relax and take a deep breath during the, middle of an interview or deposition, as he was unaware of just how shallow his breathing had become.
Consistent with the need to freeze when confronted by a threat, people being questioned about a crime will often fix their feet in a position of security (interlocked behind the chair legs) and hold that position for an inordinate period of time. When I see this type of behavior, it tells me something is wrong; this is a limbic response that needs to be further explored. The person may or may not be lying, since deceit cannot be directly discerned. But I can be assured from their nonverbal behavior that something is stressing them; therefore I will pursue the source of their discomfort through my questioning or interaction.
A memorable example of how body language can sometimes be more truthful than verbal language involved the rape of a young woman on the Parker Indian Reservation in Arizona. A suspect in the case was brought in for questioning. His words sounded convincing and his story was plausible. He claimed he hadn’t seen the victim and while out in a field had gone down a row of cotton, turned left, and then walked straight to his house. While my colleagues jotted down notes about what they were hearing, I kept my eyes on the suspect and saw that as he told the story about turning left and going home, his hand gestured to his right, which was exactly the direction that led to the rape scene. If I hadn’t been watching him, I wouldn’t have caught the discrepancy between his verbal (“I went left”) and nonverbal (hand gesturing to the right) behavior. But once I saw it I suspected he was lying. I waited a while and then confronted him again, and in the end he confessed to the crime.
“Eye-blocking” is a nonverbal behavior that can occur when we feel threatened and/or don’t like what we see. Squinting (…) and closing or shielding our eyes are actions that have evolved to protect the brain from “seeing” undesirable images and to communicate our disdain toward others. As an investigator, I used eye-blocking behaviors to assist in
Çoğu kadın ve erkek başa çıkamayacakları roller oynamaya zorlanırlar. Guildenstern'lerimiz bize Hamlet oynar, Hamlet'lerimiz Prens Hal gibi komiklik yapmak zorunda kalır.
Dünya bir sahnedir, ama roller kötü dağıtılmıştır.
Özellikle sık sık banka soygunlarıyla uğraşmak zorunda kalıyorduk. Cuma günleri maaş bordrosu için nakit parayla dolu olduklarında ortalama iki veya üç silahlı soygun yaşıyorduk ve bazen bu rakam beşe ulaşıyordu. Kurşun geçirmez cam Detroit bankalarında yaygın bir uygulama haline gelmeden önce, gişe memurları arasında korkunç ölüm oranlarına tanık olduk. Hatta güvenlik kamerasına kaydedilen böyle bir vaka bile vardı: Bir yönetici, kredi başvurusunda bulunmak için gelen genç bir çiftin önünde masasında vahşice vurularak öldürüldü ve onlar oturup çaresizce olup biteni izlediler. Soyguncu, müdürün saat mekanizmalı kasayı açmamasından dolayı mutsuzdu. Onbinlerce dolar nakde erişimi olan sadece banka çalışanları değildi. Bazı bölgelerde McDonald's gibi zincirlerdeki çalışanlar bile aynı derecede risk altındaydı.

A percentage! What splendid words they have; they are so scientific, so consolatory.. Once you have said ‘percentage’ there is nothing more to worry about.
Yabancı vatandaşlara karşı giderek daha fazla suç işleniyor ve çoğu durumda bunların açık ve hatta mantıklı bir motivi yok...

Moreover, in order to understand any man one must be deliberate and careful to avoid performing prejudices and mistaken ideas, which are very difficult to correct and get over afterwards.
"Devamlı bir şeyler aranırsın, bildiğin, ama unuttuğun bir şeyler. Silik bir anı, kayıp bir hatıra ve onun yarattığı boşluk sadece bir boşluk değil bir yaradır ve acıtır. Çünkü dünyaya gelirken beraberinde bir şey getirmiştin ve onu bir yerlerde yitirdin. Ve bu kalabalık evrende onu tekrar bulman imkansız gibi gözükür. Ama bulamazsan hayatını boşuna geçirmiş olursun; bir acı, manasız bir arzu, dindiremeyeceğini bildiğin bir susuzluk. İşte bu, toplumun her çocuğa karşı işlediği en büyük suçtur. Başka hiçbir suç bundan büyük olamaz. Bir çocuğun güvenini yok etmek tüm hayatını mahvetmek demektir, çünkü güven öyle değerlidir ki onu yitirdiğin anda kendi varlığın ile tüm bağım da koparmış olursun. Güven, seninle varoluş arasındaki köprüdür. Güven, sevginin en saf halidir."
Osho, The New Dawn
"You are always looking for something, something you know, but have forgotten. A faded memory, a lost memory and the emptiness created by it is not just an emptiness, it is a wound and it hurts. Because you brought something with you into the world and you lost it somewhere. And it seems impossible to find it again in this crowded universe. But if you don't find it, you will have spent your life in vain; a pain, a meaningless desire, a thirst that you know you cannot quench. This is the greatest crime that society commits against every child. No other offence is greater. To destroy a child's trust is to ruin his whole life, because trust is so precious that the moment you lose it, you break all connection with your own being. Trust is the bridge between you and existence. Trust is the purest form of love."

Perhaps I might have been able to confide to someone about the crime. But I wondered if in the end I would not be argued into silence by someone in good graces with the world, by the excuses of which the world approved. “What do you mean by not having faith in human beings?” Please do not deride me so.

Starting in 353, the year of Magentius’s suicide, the emperor issued a series of imperial decrees that enforced and expanded the formal persecution of paganism.
First, the rituals of sacrifice carried out by night—and later all sacrifices—were formally banned. According to a decree issued in 354, the pagan temples were to be closed and, two years later, the use of pagan statuary in rituals of worship was condemned. At last, the death penalty was officially adopted as the punishment for what was now the crime of paganism.
