 From the book that opened the way for


Positive Psychology- Authentic Happiness

By the acclaimed Martin Seligman:

The virtues of Humanity and Love

-          The strengths here are displayed in positive interaction with others

-          Friends, acquaintances, family members and strangers

 

Strength 10

                Kindness and Generosity

-          You are kind and generous to others and

-          You are never too busy to do a favor

-          You enjoy doing good deeds for others

-          Even if you do not know them well

-          How frequently you take the interest

-          Of another human being as seriously as

-          Your own?

-          All the traits in this category have at their core

-          This acknowledgement of the worth of another person

-          The kindness category encompasses various ways

-          Of relating to another person that are guided

-          By that other person’s best interests

-          And these may override your immediate

-          Wishes and needs…are there other people-

-          Friends, family members for whom you assume responsibility?

-          Empathy and sympathy are useful components

-          Of this strength

 

Strength 11

Loving and allowing oneself to be loved

-          You value close and intimate relationships with others

-          Do the people that you have deep and sustained feelings

-          About feel the same way about you?

-          If so, this strength is in evidence

-          It is more common, particularly among men

-          To be able to love and to let oneself be loved, at least

-          In our culture-

In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin

  In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin In The Fade has won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film, although in this cinephile's opinion, Una Mujer Fantastica- which has won the Oscar in the same category- Nelyubov or The Square would have been better choices. Having said that, Auf Dem Nichts is a very good, significant, remarkable feature, that attracts attention to violence against minorities, in this case the Kurdish community in Germany. It is therefore not one sided, we do not have only Muslim lunatics killing innocent "infidels", but also some extreme Europeans murdering the other side. The problem is that, unacceptable, horrifying and vile as these acts are, it appears that the overwhelming majority of atrocities are committed by zealots acting in the name of Islam- radical and unrepresentative as they are for this supposedly peaceful faith, although there are passages in its holy book that seem to insist on a violent jihad and ultimat...
