There is a common misunderstanding that emotions cause us to think illogically But recent scientific thinking, reviewed by psychologist Roy Baumeister and his colleagues, has placed emotion at the center of wisdom. One reason is that most emotion is felt after an event, which apparently serves to help us remember what happened and learn from it.
The Highly Sensitive Person
Elaine N. Aron Phd
“How I always wanted to make sure that nothing bad ever happened to anyone. I look at Hillary, and Aaron, and I think about all the bad stuff they’re going to have to face. And other kids, too. All sweet and pure and bright, and how they’re going to have to go through what happens to everyone, but shouldn’t. I wish I could be there to stop whatever bad’s going to happen.”
“Like Holden Caulfield?”
“Right: catch them as they go over the rye field. But he wanted to because he thought adults were phonies. I don’t think that. I think adults are just overgrown kids who maybe looked in the funhouse mirror and believed what they saw.”

Raphael’s name can be translated as “Medicine of God,” “Healing power of God,” or simply, “God heals.” Some people have even translated it as “Ointment of God.” His name may be derived from the Hebrew word rophe, which means “doctor.” The Hebrew word rophe (or rapha) means “to restore,” “to heal,” or “to make beautiful.” Raphael is traditionally associated with the Sacrament of Penance, as Confession and forgiveness are aspects of healing.
