You see a lot of pschology everyday you know? It's probably because psycholog is the study of human behaviour but besidest that, many well known psychological practices are either well known or completely logical. We see a lot of pschology also demonstrated and expained on T.V. So I wouldn't be surprised if you walked into a Psychology class and said "Duh" the whole time.
And that is one of the reasons that I love Psychology a lot. But there are other things too that explain other behaviors we may have noticed before. For instance what we do in our dreams or how we sleep and gain sleep, or how we perceive illusions. And there is a problem with that.
Now I know the magic behind most of life's little mysteries, and I have a tecnical terms to explain all of it. It's almost depressing. I actually feel less motivated to read my book because of that, I don't want to know the reasons behind our actions and everything else that happens to us in our whole lives.
The other thing that makes me soooooo mad is the assumptions that our teachers make us make. He isn't telling us that his "theories" are true but he is telling us that they exist and weaving them into our minds so that we start to believe them. (I hate subliminal messaging, and all those sorts of things.)
In class the other day we were talking about people volunteering and he (my teacher) came up with the theory that nobody truly gives up what they have for the good of another. Everything we do is somehow, somewhere self-motivated to help us in some way. That makes me so mad, to think that everybody is naturally mean people and there is no way that we can do actual good.
This made me really mad...and then it got me thinking. It is true that people are born sinful and inherit a sinful nature from Adam. We are naturally bad people and I guess what we do could be self-motivating. Jesus also said that because of our nature we can't even do good things because they are tainted. Maybe that is what He was talking about.
I started thinking about my Psychology class a lot more, and it only strengthened my foundation with Christ more, and more. I guess, I was just caught up with happy thoughts again, ignoring what God told me. He is all around us, and He is awesome.

This post reminded me of these verses...
Romans 7:24-25 "What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!..."
Philippian 2:5 "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:"
Philippians 2:7-8 "but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross!"
Philippians 2:3 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves."
