Inmate Central, where civil and family-friendly discourse about off-audio topics (other than religion and politics) is welcome.

Dave, these days IMO ALL good news is welcome!...

I suppose it may be simply that ANY news, whether good or bad, needs a context to appreciate it's true relevance...

My personal concern about any issue progressing from a straightforward and sincere appreciation of a good outcome to one which generates any prolonged "Feel Good" reaction is that whilst we as individuals may (naturally) gain considerable emotional satisfaction (and temporary complacency?) from any "Feel Good" experience, that same satisfaction IMO provides an actual functional disincentive to consider what other aspects remain unsatisfactory, and how they could be improved... We would be too busy feeling good to have any such incentive!...

As you will be aware, any postings implying that "everything is rubbish" (from davec and others) get lots of comment from inmates, myself included, confirming the areas where inmates may feel that such comments become "questionable"...

Any "everything is wonderful" implications would naturally be likely to be treated in much the same manner, hence the request for context...


Bill.
