This week in Abnormal Psychology the teacher gave a lecture about different theorists and about psychology in general. I found it interesting when Proffesor Welkowtiz talked about how he recently treated a patient by examing the physiological, psychological and social factors that were bothering his patient. Also this week in class we did different activites. On Thursday's class we did an activity were students in the class talked to each other about a problem in there life but the teacher had us try and look at the positive aspects of our own problems rather then the negative aspects. This was a good exercise to try because it seems to me that there is probably at least one posivitve factor that can come out of most problmatic situations. Chapter 2 of the Essentials of Abnormal Psychology contains a lot of information about the physiology of the human body such as genes, the central nervous system, the brain, the peripheral nervous system, and neurotransmitters, which I think should be a lot of interesting information to cover in the Abnormal Psychology textbook.

creating a life of meaning and compassion

...life in itself has no meaning, for its purpose is an opportunity to create that meaning, therefore:
...to die
...to simply live until one dies (there is no universal or celestial purpose)
...nature taking its course (the wheel of time keeps on turning)
...whatever you see you see, as in "projection makes perception"
...there is no purpose or meaning whatsoever (see nihilism)
...life may actually not exist, or may be illusory (see solipsism or nihilism)
...to contemplate "the meaning of the end of life"
