Just saw this on the bottom of a new new casino site...had a laugh.
Somewhat off topic sorry...
'psycological injuries'
This topic often comes up with friends.
Can you really 'hurt' someone's feelings. And if so can you equate that to physical harm? If you can't equate it to physical harm, it's not relevant to anything important.
My current thinking leads me to believe that our emotions evolved as a warning sign of real physical danger. Not something tangible that can be harmed.
And this evolved 'warning sign' has become mixed up with physical harm somewhere along the line.
I think what's happened here parallels what people in the past thought about love; i.e. love is not a chemical reaction but something else.
If you watch Judge Judy, she never asks for payment for 'psychological distress.' She sticks only to the tangible stuff.
I think she is like this because she recognises it as baloney.
