Alien Covenant is not a good movie and we should stop watching new Alien films because it is so bad.

Not every movie is going to be a real winner winner chicken dinner. To be honest, I liked the movie Bats a lot growing up. And I liked Alien Covenant, even though it was so sad. But everyone has different taste.

Ex-husband wants overnight visits with my daughter.

I wouldn't want it to happen, and I would try to do my best to make sure it didn't. I don't know about legal matters but it's a safe bet to look into it.

But I'm not asking about physical changes. I was referring to psychological, emotional changes. Personality changes. You can't tell if a Zebra has changed it's personality by its physical appearance.

I presume you meant POSITIVE changes..

These are rare, but possible.. I have seen and heard myriads of testimonies from people how God of the Bible changed them - they repented living a sinful life and God changed their hearts, minds, and lives..

I am very much interested in Biblical counselling principles.

Btw, if positive change was not possible, why would there be so many psychologists, therapists, life coaches, guru's etc? They all work with different principles though..

There is hope.. but one must be careful it is not a 'blind ' hope..

Positive, negative. Or neutral. Just, changes. Changes in personality, changes in cognitive behavior. Behavior in general.

I'm not asking about biblical changes - anyone can do terrible acts, ask for forgiveness, and then change their ways. I mean fundamentally do people really change, into an entirely different person, or is just the same person deciding to act differently? And is that even two different things?

I guess it's a kind of difficult question to ask. Maybe even more than to find an answer. Sometimes I wonder if I am the same person now that I was when I was 20, 15, 7, or 3 years of age. I wonder if I will always be the "same" or if I have truly changed over time. Sometimes I feel like I am different, sometimes I feel as if I am the same. I guess it's just a series of development and I won't ever know for sure, uncertain thoughts.

How do you pick a person?

Sometimes you just have to go for it. But be prepared to pick yourself up again. If the ends don't justify the means, then you already know what you want to do.

Can you back this with supporting evidence?

A zebra never changes his stripes. A leopard can’t change her spots. People don’t change, they just reveal their real selves over time. Are these statements common wisdom or gross misunderstandings of human nature?

What about the Frog and the Scorpion? A popular story told to explain that people can’t change their basic nature begins with the Scorpion asking the Frog for a ride across the river. The Frog responds, “Are you kidding? Of course not! I know you, Scorpion, and you would sting me and I’d die. No way will I carry you on my back!”

The Scorpion challenges the Frog, “Why would I do that? If I sting you and you die, we both drown. You have nothing to fear by carrying me across the river.” The Frog decides that what the Scorpion said makes sense, so he agrees to the request.

Midway across the river, the Scorpion stings the Frog. As the Frog gasps his last breath before drowning, he implores the Scorpion, “Why? Why did you sting me, knowing we will both drown?” The Scorpion replies, “It’s my nature.”

But I'm not asking about physical changes. I was referring to psychological, emotional changes. Personality changes. You can't tell if a Zebra has changed it's personality by its physical appearance.

have you ever been so depressed you almost throw up?

No, not really. What is making you so depressed? I've been anxious to the point of nausea, I guess that's the closest I've felt to what you've experienced.

Suicidal or not...

I don't believe you truly think that. There must be some goals or deep rooted desires that you have, even small ones if so. One task to work towards may be all it takes to show you there is so much more to life.

When you lose alot of blood why does your temperature go up?

When the iron in blood comes into contact with oxygen it has a chemical reaction. Maybe the "warmth" or "heat" is just a product of that reaction.

Maybe your right.
That's really interesting to think of blood as coolant like we are engines
I think of us more as like plants

I like thinking of us as plants too! That we are in tune with nature and a product of the natural world around us :) But our bodies are so crazy intricate, I don't understand any of it! We are very machine like
