I agree. We all have natural reactions to weather and our surroundings, especially the colour. A

clear blue sky can make you feel more peaceful; and a bunch of flowers can make you feel optimistic. Cloudy days bring gloom, whilst sunny days bring joy. I'm sure most people will know from personal experience that they're not particularly motivated to do anything on a rainy day. If you're surrounded by things that you like, you're obviously going to feel much happier than being in a cemetery, for example, surrounded by things not so pleasant, such as grave stones. The colours around you play a big part in your mood. Red and violet brings energy into your life. One study found that when evenly matched Olympic athletes competed, those wearing red won significantly more than their opponents wearing blue. Green and Yellow are more upbeat, and brings happiness. You'll find that preschools and shops usually use Green, Yellow, Red, and

Purple to motivate you. Would you rather shop for hours in a colorful shop that boosts your energy, or a boring grey shop? Blue - most favoured colour by many, is very soothing, and brings calmness, as well as pastels. Calming colours are used to decorate emergency rooms, or prison cells, while colours that cause elation are used for weddings or festivals. This all has to do with physcology, as the colours trigger something in your brain that affects your mood.

I disagree. I think this relates back to physcology again. It's all about your mind. I usually eat when i'm bored, so if you keep yourself occupied then you won't think about eating. This is also helpful if you don't have food in your fridge, or easily available to you. It may be really hard if you're in a situation where everyone's eating around you. In Muslim countries during Ramadan, not eating in public is the respectful thing for non Muslims to do. You just need to keep food off your mind. I have gone through days where I haven't eaten food, unknowingly. If you are to go a day without food, remember to drink plenty of water! You don't want to completely malnourish yourself. If you think about going a day without food, you will probably find it hard. If you just do it, you'll realize it's easy.

I agree, it CAN mature a person. But there are exceptions to this statement. Going through a difficult time gives someone experience, and exposes them to the reality of life. Hopefully, if they're guided correctly, and have support of friends/family, they will become confident. It all depends on the person's state of mind, and their support. They'll become mature once they realize that they have responsibilities.

I agree. Money = Greed. Money = Power. Power+Greed=Evil. The evil isn't in the

money, it's in the hand taking it, or the hand giving it, or possibly both.
