“You drive them into total collapse. Fear turns into despair, despair to panic, and then panic into utter submission. It’s incredible, the power of psychological warfare. And all it takes is a couple of bombs.”
“However, I also must order you to attend a weekly psychological meeting with me to work on homicidal impulses. As a war general, you must curb them if you are to be successful.” Auntie’s exuberant smile said she wasn’t actually concerned about curbing any impulses.
I was half-worried that Sadie would become more intense if she met with Auntie.
The little alpha said nothing, just glared back at the woman with a stony expression.
“I have to disagree. It wasn’t homicidal. It seemed logical,” Aran said loudly from beside Sadie.
The blue-haired boy put a serious expression on his face, but it was clear what he was doing.

I have searched everywhere to find an answer to my question, 'Is there enlightenment?' , but have never questioned the search itself. Because I have assumed that goal, enlightenment, exists, I have had to search, and it is the search itself which has been choking me and keeping me out of my natural state.

Ibn Sina made full use of his deep knowledge of human psychology in curing patients. Once, a young woman suffering from paralysis of the arms was brought to him for treatment. When he came to know that she did not respond positively to the earlier treatment given to her, he applied a psychological device and asked her to stand in the presence of the people assembled about him.

Ibn Sina has clearly pointed out that the physical health of man is closely related with his inherent and acquired psychological emotions. He further revealed that much of natural disposition of the mother is diffused into her children through breast-feeding.
