Day One: 26 January 2017

I attended a funeral in the early morning, in a Catholic chapel. It was a traditional Requiem Mass, so there were several hymns involved. All of these except one were sung in a call-and-response manner, accompanied by an organ, with a lone soprano singing the verses, and the congregation singing the chorus sections. The last hymn, the recessional hymn, was sung by everyone all the way through. As is usual for hymns, they were slow and quiet in nature, and had one single line of melody, as this was not a professional choir. This was live music, accompanied by ...

Awareness of another person is accompanied by an emotional assessment of the person, an attempt to understand things, predict changes in behavior and model their own behavior.

Thus, self-awareness and empathy are the key conditions for teamwork and interpersonal communication. In this case, one needs to understand the very essence emotional ...

When this initial shock wore off, I let myself sink into the song even more deeply. I ...

The Matching Hypothesis of individuals selecting a mate that is within a similar range of attractiveness as themselves is a justifiable phenomenon. The more individuals share in common the more successful they are likely to be in their relationships.
