what they wouldn't call me to my face wrote:I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
'Til they got a hold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
And I'm gettin' shot down
And I'm feeling mean

No more Mister nice guy
No more Mister clean
No more Mister nice guy
They say he's sick, he's obscene

My dog bit me on the leg today
My cat clawed my eye
My mom's been thrown out of the society circle
My dad's had to hide
I went to church incognito
And everybody rose, the reverend Smith
He recognized me
Punched me in the nose

No more Mister nice guy
No more Mister clean
No more Mister nice guy
They say he's sick, he's obscene

Cooper wrote this about the reaction of friends and family
toward his on stage persona.

The maniac he plays on stage goes over well with his audiences,
but the folks in his mother's church groups
were unsure how to handle it
and were uncomfortable talking about it.

The cult is noted for chanting its phrase or ritual:
Ph'nglui mglw Cthulhu wgah'nagl fhtagn",
which translates as
"In his house Cthulhu waits dreaming."[12] This is often shortened to "Cthulhu fhtagn", which appears to mean "Cthulhu waits" or "Cthulhu dreams".[13]

Here, in this thoughtful and provocative study,
Thomas Scheff defines catharsis as a therapeutic process
that discharges repressed emotions
and is signaled by certain kinds of laughing, crying, and analogous responses
reflecting discharge of fear and anger.
The effects of catharsis are the decrease of tension
and the clarification of thought.
Dr. Scheff then introduces the concept of distancing
(the extent to which the individual is an observer of his or her emotions)
to formulate the conditions under which catharsis occurs.
I an individual is optimally distanced,
it is then possible to achieve "double vision":
being simultaneously and equally a participant and an observer.

This deity belongs to the mandala of Guhyasamaja tantra,
the "Secret Assembly" - the gathering of 32 deities.
This particular practice purifies all transgressions
in the relationship with one's spiritual guide.

In general, validation is the process of checking
if something satisfies a certain criterion.
Example would be: checking if a statement is true (validity)

Validation should not be confused with verification.
Validation can sometimes be measured by applying procedural objectivity,
but verification is usually subjective

In psychology and human communication,
validation is the communication of respect,
which involves the acknowledgement
that the other's opinions are legitimate.
