"Freud points out that if we experience an important loss, we may slip into depression without being able to understand or articulate what is wrong: the missing element renders us mute. Kuzniar suggest that dogs personify the missing element."
"The difference between willing and merely wishing, between having ideals that are creative and ideals that are but pinings and regrets, thus depends on either the amount of steam-pressure chronically driving the character in the ideal direction, or on the amount of ideal excitement transiently acquired. Given a certain amount of love, indignation, generosity, magnanimity, admiration, loyalty, or enthusiasm of
self-surrender, the result is always the same. The whole raft of cowardly obstructions , which in tame persons and dull moods are sovereign impediments to action, sinks away at once. Our conventionality, our demands for precedent and permission, for guarantee and surety, our small suspicions, timidities, despairs, where are they now? . . . The flood we are borne on rolls them so lightly under that their very contact is unfelt. Set free of them we soar and sing."
William James: The Varieties of Religious Experience
Interesting article on why lawyers don't want their children to follow in their footsteps. The basic conclusion is that the profession does not provide enough flexible working. The truth, however, is simply this: much of what lawyers do can seem boring.

Today I read about this actual claim brought by an employee and reported in the Employment Appeal Tribunal - http://www.employmentappeals.gov.uk/Public/results.aspx
The Claimant made repeated references in his claim form to secret video recordings carried out on behalf of the Watch Tower Society; he talked about the Watch Tower Society instigating his dismissal; coming into the Hotel to turn staff against him; spreading rumours about his sexuality; preventing witnesses from assisting him; installing secret cameras in changing rooms and in his room; falsely imprisoning him in a Psychiatric Hospital; and showing the tapes to the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
