가정의 힘, 가족의 힘

가정의 힘, 가족의 힘

왕이건 농부이건 자신의 가정에 평화를 찾아낼 수 있는 자가 가장 행복한 인간이다.

- 괴테 -

전에는 잘 몰랐습니다. 왜 가정에 평화가 있어야 하는지, 왜 서로 사랑하고 아껴야 하는지. 알고는 있지만, 막연했습니다.

그러나 모든 사랑과 모든 평화와 모든 힘은 가정에서 나온다는 것을 조금씩 알아갑니다. 때로 상처를 주고받고 갈등하지만 언제 그랬냐는 듯 눈 녹듯 사라지는 것은 가족이기 때문입니다.

모든 것은 가정으로부터 시작된다는 것, 가족이 나의 힘이라는 것, 명심합니다.

Sundries: 위로와 힘

Sundries: 위로와 힘

당신이 사람들에게 위로 받는건 지금의 눈물 때문이 아니라 지금까지 나눈 웃음 때문일지 모릅니다. 힘들 때 결국 힘이 되는 것은 당신이 살아온 모습 입니다.

- 김신회 '남의 사랑 이야기' 중에서...

웃음 나누는 불금 되시기 바랍니다.

Sundries: 좋은 행복, 해로운 행복

Sundries: 좋은 행복, 해로운 행복

삶의 가치는 행복으로 말합니다. 그래서 행복은 무조건 좋은 거라고 생각하는데 그것도 어떤 종류의 것이냐에 따라 좋은 행복, 해로운 행복으로 나뉜다고 합니다.

미국 노스캐롤라이나 심리학과 교수팀의 연구결과에 따르면 우리 몸에는 '나쁜 행복'이 존재한답니다. 면역 조건이 동일한 80명의 성인을 대상으로, 사회적 교류나 성취감으로부터 오는 '목적지향적 행복'과 맛있는 것을 먹는 등 단순히 욕구를 채우는 것으로부터 오는 '쾌락적 행복'을 구분해 면역 세포에 차이가 생기는지 실험했답니다.

그 결과 쾌락적 행복을 느낀 사람들은 혈액 단핵구 세포에서 스트레스와 연관돼 면역력을 약화시키는 염증발현 유전자가 증가하는 반면, 목적지향적 행복은 이 유전자가 억제된다는 것을 확인했답니다. 정신적으로는 쾌락적 행복이든 목적지향적 행복이든 똑같이 느끼지만 신체는 어떤 행복감인지 이미 인지하고 달리 반응한다는 것이지요.

쾌락적 행복감을 가질 때 신체는 감정적이고 무의미한 열량 소모를 많이 한다고 합니다.

폭염과 열대야에 힘든 계절입니다. 그런데도 날씨 좋은 가을보다 독서량이 더 많다고 하는 통계를 보면 목적지향적 행복을 더 많이 느끼는 계절인 걸까요.

생각하기 나름, 이 여름도 얼마든지 즐겁게 보낼 수 있을듯 합니다.

재능을 백만장자처럼!

재능을 백만장자처럼!

재능이 있거든 가능한 모든 방법으로 사용하라 쌓아두지 마라. 구두쇠처럼 아껴쓰지 마라. 파산하려는 백만장자처럼 아낌없이 써라!
