Family estrangement often brings relief at first because people don't walk away from relationships hoping to be unhappy.

But research shows that for many people, the relief doesn't last. Over time, family estrangement is associated with higher rates of depression, poorer physical health, and chronic unhappiness.

We're wired for connection with our kin. When those bonds break, something deep within us recognizes that the relationship isn't as it should be.

Not every family conflict can be repaired. Not every relationship is safe. But before accepting permanent distance as the only answer, it's worth asking whether reconciliation is still possible.

Bill Clinton: “The Palestinians were offered a state. They refused. A state wasn't their goal. Killing Jews was."

This must be shared every single day.

🚨NEW: CNN's Michael Smerconish *OBLITERATES* calls to remove Trump from office🚨

"You'd expect the guy that posts about a whole civilization dying would be simultaneously busting up the White House furniture — but there's NEVER been ANY reporting of Trump like that behind closed doors."

"In other words, it's not that there's a method to his madness — it's that the madness IS his method."

"Trump is capable of EXACTLY what his critics say he isn't: patience, process and genuine deliberation."

"90 minutes before his own deadline, a ceasefire materialized. That's NOT nothing."

"It's certainly not the behavior of someone who needs the 25th Amendment invoked or warrants impeaching."

In 1979, a Harvard psychologist sent eight elderly men back in time and their bodies followed.

Back in the 1970s, psychologist @ellenjl ran one of the most provocative experiments in the history of psychology. She invited eight men in their late 70s and early 80s to spend a week at a retreat. But when they arrived, something felt immediately off.

The magazines were from 1959. The radio played music from the 50s. The TV showed old black-and-white programs. Every last detail of the environment had been wound 20 years into the past.

Here's the twist: the men weren't asked to remember 1959. They were told to live as if it were 1959.

They spoke about their careers in the present tense. They discussed world events as though they had just happened. They carried their own luggage, cleaned up after meals, and moved around like they used to. For a full week, they stopped seeing themselves as old men.

And then something happened.

Their bodies started to change.

Tests conducted before and after the retreat showed measurable improvements across the board. Vision, hearing, grip strength, memory, flexibility, even posture. Arthritis symptoms improved. Independent observers, shown photographs of the men taken before and after, judged them to look an average of two years younger.

After just one week. No medication. No surgery. Only a shift in environment and mindset.

"Your body may be listening to the story your mind tells about what is possible."

The study doesn't promise you can think yourself young forever. But it does suggest something worth sitting with: the body may take its cues from the narrative the mind keeps rehearsing.

Think about how often you say things like: I'm too old for that. My back just does that now. I can't move like I used to.

Those sentences don't land in a vacuum. The body hears them and sometimes, it obeys.

The men in Langer's experiment didn't get a pep talk. They weren't told to think positively or push through the pain. The environment simply stopped confirming the story of decline and without that story running on repeat, something in them opened back up.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Could someone ask him to read the Koran

For example the bits about killing 'infidels', and child marriage. and sexual slavery, and Female Genital
Mutilation, and how husbands may beat wives, and worst of all, how dogs should be banned

This not standard C of E stuff, is it ?

Or even the bit about imposing Islam on the entire country, which might be irony, but I don't think so

A lot of British people don't really want any of this, and the problem is that the Koran forbids compromise

Not even the Scottish Presbyterians are as assertive as this

When the BBC interviews someone as well-informed
and intelligent as Douglas Murray, they should find someone well-informed and intelligent to do it

Not some clown like this

He is very stupid

But perhaps the BBC hadn't noticed

@JebraFaushay Or history

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Well...

Will we ?

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Please, please, read this, dear Lenny

It's real history and puts the whole sordid history of slavery into the right perspective

(Particularly important for people who think Britain started it !!)
