Self Control

[Telarus]

Two interesting articles on Self Control that I picked up via Technoccult.net. The first doesn't cite the study it refers to, but is an interesting revelation none-the-less.

This leads me to the idea that Zazen type meditation is a type of 'Self Control exercise" that actually strengthens and increases the ammount of sustained self-control one is capable of.

Well, of course. But while self control is exhaustable, the only way TO change is to push through it to develop more concentration and focus. Lazy isn't those people who push and loose it. Lazy are those people who don't push at all.

You know, that really makes me wish I'd gotten away from my ex roommate earlier.

This is more than peer pressure.  Since it suggests that it can actually work counter to what the social group wants, or effect things the social group doesn't care about.
