Re: "Emotional intelligence"
First, the term itself is contradictory... The word "emotion" means 'to push away.'

The word "intelligence" means 'the highest faculty of the mind, capacity for comprehending general truths.'

So the phrase "emotional intelligence" literally means 'to push away the highest faculty of the mind, capacity for comprehending general truths.'

Second, it is strange to me that women are often ascribed the attribute of "emotional intelligence." Whereas, men supposedly do not have that capacity.

Perhaps women who are raised by only women never develop the necessary reasoning abilities. And men who are raised by only women never develop them either.

So maybe the term "emotional intelligence" is quite accurate as etymologically defined...

Re: "Emotional intelligence"
5 basic emotions. All humans have them.

Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, Anger.

It's how we personally deal with those and coping skills.

Positive coping allows more joy.
Negative coping is usually anger.

So love is not an emotion? What about lust?

WTF is it?

An abusive alcoholic father who beat you was raised by a woman only, thus why he drinks and beats you.

Stop lying to yourself. Men are just as responsible for this world’s problems as women are, and abusive men cause emotional issues in children all the time.

It’s really pathetic that men can’t accept this and feel the need to blame others. It’s just as ridiculous as modern feminism but in reverse.
 Quoting: Gabriel~


As can abusive women too.... (i would agree that it isen way more often though).
There are also plenty of women whom cant accept things and blame others as well.

Whats ridiculous is people who spew garbage and dont even know why nor to what end they do it.

The problem is, men over history dictated society, what world we live in nowadays a vast majority of the construct/system we all libe in is the fault of man. Males often run on pride their ego is their fault. Nearly everything people come on here and rant about in life/society, its a man/men that made it all up.

The next problem is women havent/dont do too much to help sort that out,some kick butt no doubt, way way too many still moan too much. It only accomplishes more distain. Men are the wound, generally speaking, women are salt rubbing into the wound, generally speaking...

Everyone is at fault and all anyone does is blame 'the other camp'. Men and Women both need to accept eachothers downsides, then learn about them, not point fingers, good things happen when people learn things together, nothing happens when its back and forth drivel, the cycle repeats and every one of us just become part of these problems....


A touch off topic.
I feel that we are in a culture where everyone is big on their opinion. We get told its good to have your own unique views and dont be shy to let them be heard which is great and a right everyone should have... The thing is, yes we all should habe an organic (not via propaganda) opinion on things.

But the key is there is a time and place for people laying their opinion down, a lot of people nowadays just want to say their opinion for the sake of having one, one isnt always needed.

Nature blessed us with one mouth, but two eyes and two ears, i think thats a pretty big clue there. Watch and listen twice the amount we speak, then people have the mental space to actually make more concise views and get them across better, men and women need to just accept eachothers downsides sincerely and start leveling out.

Emotional intelligence, its not the opposite of intelligence, it isnt the triumph of heart over your mind, it is the unique intersection of both.
Theres no separation, emotions, thinking and learning are all interlinked.

Confusion is an emotion, being confused often means youre about to learn something new, adding information to make you more 'intelligent'.

You cant have one without the other, emotion and logic should not be at quarrel they are to be bound, then real good things happen, a bit like the male and female atuff i was going on about earlier in this post.

I wish goodness to you. X
