CHANGE OF MIND

It was Dr.M himself who personally handpicked Datuk Badawi but how soon his support for the Premier waned.His unending scathing critisms and disagreements with the newly formed Goverment.Although Dr.M made his point,the disappointing thing is this- he claimed that after his resignation he would not exert his influence on the next premier or on UMNO.He was finished with politics.And the majority of Malaysians believed him.But then Datuk Badawi was a disappointment too. He claimed that the romantic rumours about him and his present wife were not true.There was nothing between them.And then,suddenly- announcement of their marriage- splashed all over the daily news.

When all is said and done, the best guarantee of a long and healthy life may be the connections you have with other people.John Cacioppo, a neuroscientist at the University of Chicago and coauthor of a new book, Loneliness:Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection, talked with U.S. News about the latest research on how relationships affect physical health.

You point out that, oddly enough, loneliness also makes us less socially adept. How?
Lonely adults have the same social skills as nonlonely adults, but they don't deploy them as appropriately. We think that lonely individuals feel threatened, and because of that feeling of threat, they're not certain they can trust others. When you see something positive happening to others, you're not sure if you're included, so you're aloof, demanding, or critical.
