Sick of Me

How sick of me must you be by now? while you're standing just outside of what your pride will allow, always reaching into yourself to find a new way to understand me. When I'm sure that there's no one else in the world that could withstand me. Yeah, the first person in your life to ever really matter is saying the last thing that you want to hear. And you are listening hard through the splintering shards of your life as it shatters. and you're standing firm and you're staying close and you're seeing clear. I took to the stage with my outrage in the bad old days when you were the "make me mad" guy. But the songs they come out more slowly now that I am the bad guy. and I say, baby I'm sorry that I am so crazy, I am astounded by your patience. But you say "believe or not baby, the joy you bring me still outweighs it." Yeah, the first person in your life to ever really matter is saying the last thing that you want to hear. And you are listening hard through the splintering shards of your life as it shatters, and you're standing firm and you're staying close and you're seeing clear. Tell me how sick of me must you be by now?

How the brain detects the emotions of others: People who are good at interpreting facial expressions have "mirror neuron" systems that are more active, say researchers. The finding adds weight to the idea that these cells are crucial to helping us figure out how others are feeling.

Mirror neurons are brain cells that fire both when you do something and when you watch someone else do the same thing.

Because they allow us to mimic what others are doing, it is thought that these neurons may be responsible for why we can feel empathy, or understand others' intentions and states of mind. People with autism, for instance, show reduced mirror neuron activity during social cognition tasks. New Scientist 12 MAY 08
