Few days ago I took part in a demonstration in front of the Russian embassy in Warsaw. Several hundred people gathered in front of the building. I saw demonstrators with Polish, Ukrainian and even Russian flags. Many people were holding banners with anti-war inscriptions. For example: "Stop Russian Aggression".  When I came back home in the evening I watched the news on TV. I saw that there were also some protests against the war in Russia. However, many participants, including old ladies, were arrested. I learned that there are twenty years of imprisonment for protesting against the war.

I realized that in Poland you can at least participate in demonstrations and express your opinion. It is important that we have the right to do so.

    And it hasn't always been like that ... We are where we are as a society because some people fought against the authoritarian rule of pro-Soviet governments. So I'm glad you appreciate your right to demonstrate freely!

Should Lydia's husband be arrested?

           From legal point of view Lydia’s husband should be arrested, because he let his wife die. On the other hand he was depressed and he was not able to take reasonable decisions, that’s why his behavior could probably be justified.  Lydia presented a toxic personality.

However, he couldn’t make her satisfied and happy, as she was simply a mental-ill person. Several times she tried to commit a suicide. In my opinion she should be under hospital’s control.

"Five ways the pandemic surge in hand sanitisers may not be great news in the long term"

 Tonight I read an article entitled "Five ways the pandemic surge in hand sanitisers may not be great news in the long term" It is true that the use of hand sanitisers and other antibacterial and antiviral cleaning products has sharply increased worldwide since the pandemic started. It has certainly helped to stop the increase in viral infections, however, it has some side effects. I learned that one study found that the regular use of ethanol to sanitize hands resulted in relatively low but measurable levels of ethanol in the blood. While this was below acute toxicity levels, continued use can result in "chronic toxicity", increasing the risk of health problems such as eczema or skin cancer. It can even be fatal at times. Repeated use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause antimicrobial resistance and increase other infections. Research has also shown that ethanol leaking into lakes, ponds, rivers and oceans can harm aquatic species. I believe that despite the

Borderline personality disorder

Obraz
Borderline personality disorder is a disorder that includes, but is not limited to, mood instability, identity disturbances, feelings of unfulfillment and emptiness. This dysfunction is characterized by the prevalence of negative feelings, fear of rejection, abandonment and disappointment, the inability to build stable relationships with others, and an inconsistent image of "me" distancing myself from certain feelings. Borderline personality disorder manifests itself both in a person's beliefs and in their behavior. The patient experiences alternately anxiety, anger, frustration, sadness, shame and boredom. These emotions generate stress, which further strengthens the negative attitude and perception of the world. Misunderstandings and paranoid symptoms often appear under the influence of severe stress. They may require hospital treatment. Borderline personality disorder is also characterized by the inability to cope with stress and crisis on its own. Instead of actin
