I'm totally, completely amazed that the large majority of people go through life without spending much time or energy trying to figure out the OTHER guy or gal's motivation or reasons or needs or whatever! Take care.

I am amazed at the sheer lack of communication there is between GP's, consultants and care teams!!! and that they all see it as ok to tell enquirers from higher authorities what they want to hear rather than what actually is (or isn't) happening with my care!
Thanks for this!

I am amazed at the stupidity of buracracy these days. It takes months to get anything doe that involvues the county, state, or federal government. And no one seems to care or think anything is their problem! ugh!!!

I haven't been suprised by anything in along time; I'm too young to be this cynical.

Quite understandable if you realize they were "created" by evolution, so "perfection" is not to be expected!

You are one of the limited numbers of truly intellectual people on this planet -- at least according to my impressions.

At my animals (2 cats, 1 dog), each with their own set of quirks. The things they do help keep me center, amused and loved all at the same time.

I am amazed at how much human beings have created in this world, given that, in the scheme of things, we aren't so bright.

I am amazed at how much a heart can hurt.
But I am also amazed at the incredible design you can see in the natural world.

Oh, and I am also amazed at how much a former cat "hater" (myself) can now be totally in love with 2 cats. I am amazed at just how much I feel for them- how much personality they have.
Thanks for this!

One more..
I am amazed at how a neighbor of mine could put her own fun and needs and "happiness" above those of her children. Seriously. I just draw the line when it comes to children.
Thanks for this!

After a session with a small girl and her traumatised family I am amazed at how people can chose, not just bumble into or end up doing evil because that's the easiest thing to do just then, but actively and deliberately chose to do something that even they must realize is EVIL. and claim they believe in my savior. Can't say more. Maybe amazed is the wrong word.
Thanks for this!

I am amazed at the resilency (sp?) of humans. Look at what the members here have undergone and yet we survive and thrive.

I'm amazed at how much we humans are going to learn over the next thousand years. The way a lot of people talk, it's dubious that we'll survive that long. I disagree. Whatever catastrophe shows up, there are such a HUGE number of humans in the world today that I feel sure that a sufficient set will survive to keep human science going. There's never been a plague in the past that took more than one-third of the total population. And even if HALF of everyone died in some catastrophe, OR TWO-THIRDS, there'd still be plenty left over. No, the end of the world isn't going to come quite yet. We still have quite a bit of time. And in that time the fruits of human genius will be many and very, very impressive. To imagine what we'll be in a thousand years, we should think of how people lived a thousand years ago. Quite a change since then. And the change in the future will be even more intense. Take care!
