Say That Again

 Actor Humphrey Bogart did not say, "Play it again, Sam," in the 1942 film "Casablanca." His co-star, Ingrid Bergman, said to the piano player at "Rick's Cafe Americain Nightclub," "Play it once, Sam, for old time's sake. Play 'As Time Goes By.'" The misquote is memorable. But, how did folks believe that Bogart said it?


"Me Tarzan, you Jane." This quotation is explained by an interview in which actor Johnny Weissmuller said that his role in "Tarzan the Ape man" did not require his skill as an actor. Explainable, yes, but he did not provide the quote in the film.


William Shatner, playing Captain Kirk in the TV series and films titled, "Star Trek," did not say, "Beam me up Scotty," in any of them.


What did Tom Hanks' character, "Forrest Gump" say about a box of chocolate? Web Search to see if what Gump said in the film is what you heard. These are harmless mis-quotations, but sometimes a misquotation of a real person might change a human outcome.


Web Search, Matthew 28: 16-20. Jesus, three days after his crucifixion and death, defeated death. He appeared to his surviving eleven disciples, as he foretold. Disciple Matthew quoted the resurrected Jesus. You will not find, "Now go forth and grow the Christian Church," among Jesus' words. Yet, many Christians believe that Jesus commanded his disciples to do that. Rather, he told his disciples to go out and make more disciples of (I think the meaning is "in") all of the nations. This command opened up the path to salvation for everyone, not just the Hebrew People to whom Jesus was sent. These verses are known as "The Great Commission."


Matthew wrote what he heard (the way he remembered it). Matthew also wrote Matthew 18: 20, which (I believe) describes the Christian Church as at least two people who cooperate to worship God (in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Jesus said in these verses that he would be there with them. That fits with verse 20 of Matthew 28: 16-20. To me, the emphasis appears to be on a disciple who knows and can teach the commands of Jesus to another person who is willing to learn, to accept, and obey the teaching, which enables that second person to become a disciple and teach someone else.

Can Developmental Trauma Cause Someone To Disconnect From Their Needs?

 What someone may find, that's if they were to step back and reflect on their life, is that they are often out of touch with their needs. Or, perhaps, to be more specific, they are often out of touch with certain needs. This can mean that they will typically be aware of their survival needs and even their intellectual needs, but that could be about as far as it will go. As for their emotional needs, then, these could generally be ignored. It's Automatic Still, this doesn't mean that this is something that they will consciously choose to do. They are then not going to think, 'right, I'm going to ignore my emotional needs now', as this is likely to be something that they won't even be aware of. Consequently, a number of their needs will be overlooked and this is going to have a detrimental effect on their well-being. They can end up being aware of the effect of being this way but be oblivious to the cause. The Outcome There is the chance that they will ofte

Can Developmental Trauma Cause Someone To Feel Helpless?

 In general, someone can have the inclination to feel helpless , and this is likely to make it hard for them to live a fulfilling life. What this comes down to is that they won't feel as though they are able to do anything to change their life. This is likely to show that this is more than just something that they feel, though, as it could be something that has permeated their whole being. It is then not just going to be that they feel helpless; they will be helpless. Going Upwards If something does happen and they end up feeling differen t, it is unlikely to be long until they fall right back down again. When this happens, it might take a little while for them to adapt to how they feel. The reason for this is that experiencing a sense of power will have allowed them to feel good and then, to go back to how they were before will be even harder, if only for a short while. Due to this, they might prefer to stay as they are. For Example There are a number of things that might allow t
