Happy people

Happy people are more successful shoppers, study says
A new study found that people who are in more positive moods make faster and more consistent decisions.

If your answer to feeling blue is to go shopping, you might have a problem — and not just of the hoarder variety. A new study published in the Journal of Consumer Research found that it’s better to shop when you’re in a good mood because you make more consistent, wiser choices. So while retail therapy might be soothing, bummed-out trips to the mall also might explain all those strange outfits in your closet.
Study authors Paul Herr and Derick Davis of Virginia Tech, Christine Page of Skidmore College and Bruce Pfeiffer of the University of New Hampshire conducted the research to focus on one of the most basic interactions in decision making: how one’s mood affects the appearance and assessment of objects. For example, a puppy might be the most adorable thing on Earth when you’re happy, but when you’re annoyed you might see the little guy as nothing more than a yapping poop machine.
“There has been considerable debate about how affect (moods, emotions, feelings) influences the quality of people’s decisions,” they wrote in the paper. “We join this debate by looking at affect’s influence on a very basic element of decision-making: deciding if an object is liked or disliked.”
The study itself was pretty straightforward. The research showed test subjects pictures of positive things, like said puppy, or negative things, like diseased feet (yes, really), to manipulate the subjects’ moods one way or the other. After, the subjects were shown pictures of everyday objects and told to pick positive or negative adjectives from a list to describe those objects.
People in a positive mood were both faster at picking adjectives, whether they were positive or negative, and more consistent, meaning that when shown the same object they were less likely to change their previous positive or negative assessment of it. There wasn’t a metric for whether the answers were right or not, because none of them are clearly correct. Everyone perceives things differently, so while we might find a vacuum as a positive thing, someone else mind it abhorrent. Plus, it’s the same situation when you’re out shopping anyway.

未知

甚麼都是未知的,在這號稱不確定的世界中
要不要往前呢? 要往前吧?
時間在還沒打完字時就過了,浪費了多少時間?
要不要繼續? 要繼續吧?
有了目標,有沒有最快的捷徑可以到終點?
如果知道了結果,現在有沒有盡力的必要?
生活然後又生活,用盡一分分的力氣
我過的,妳過的,他過的以及她過的
用甚麼做支撐?輕描淡寫的提到愛? 用愛嗎??
我是的,妳是的,他也是以及她也是
好愛,然後只好盡力

高潮

高潮像是漂浮在空氣中的塵
伸手握住了所有 攤開遺失了所有
獲得的滿足 消失的空虛
轉身就過 或者再嘗試索取又得到
愛情不就像是如此 感覺也不過就是如此
一波一波的疊起 一陣一陣的感受
然後 還記得 會記得 會留下 會遺忘
