A mind ( /ˈmaɪnd/) is the complex of cognitive faculties that enables consciousness, thinking, reasoning, perception, and judgement — sometimes considered a particular characteristic of humans.
A long tradition of inquiries in philosophy, religion, psychology and cognitive science has sought to develop an understanding of what mind is and what are its distinguishing properties. The main questions regarding the nature of mind is its relation to the physical brain and nervous system - a question which is often framed as the Mind-body problem, which considers whether mind is somehow separate from physical existence (dualism and idealism ), deriving from and reducible to physical phenomena such as neurological processes (physicalism), or whether the mind is identical with the brain. Another question concerns which types of being are capable of having minds, for example whether mind is exclusive to humans, possessed also by some or all animals, by all living things, or whether mind can also be a property of some types of man-made machines.
Psycho is slang for a person who is psychotic or psychopathic. The term is often considered offensive or derogatory. However, when used within compound terms such as 'psychology' or 'psychotherapy', the word refers neutrally to the psyche (mind or soul).
Psycho may also refer to:
In geology, rock or stone is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of minerals and/or mineraloids.
The Earth's outer solid layer, the lithosphere, is made of rock. Three majors groups of rocks are defined: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. The scientific study of rocks is called petrology, which is an essential component of geology.
Rocks are generally classified by mineral and chemical composition, by the texture of the constituent particles and by the processes that formed them. These indicators separate rocks into three types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. They are further classified according to particle size. The transformation of one rock type to another is described by the geological model called the rock cycle.
Igneous rocks are formed when molten magma cools and are divided into two main categories: plutonic rock and volcanic. Plutonic or intrusive rocks result when magma cools and crystallizes slowly within the Earth's crust (example granite), while volcanic or extrusive rocks result from magma reaching the surface either as lava or fragmental ejecta (examples pumice and basalt).
Hot breath, rough skin,
warm laughs and smiling,
the loveliest words whispered and meant -
you like all these things.
But, though you like all these things,
you love a stone. You love a stone,
because it's smooth
and it's cold.
And you'd love most to be told
that it's all your own.
You love white veins, you love hard grey,
the heaviest weight, the clumsiest shape,
the earthiest smell, the hollowest tone -
you love a stone.
And I'm found too fast, called too fond of flames,
and then I'm phoning my friends,
and then I'm shouldering the blame,
while you're picking pebbles out of the drain, miles ago.
You're out singing songs, and I'm down shouting names
at the flickerless screen, going fucking insane.
Am I losing my cool, overstating my case?
Well, baby, what can I say?
You know I never claimed that I was a stone.
And you love a stone.
You love white veins, you love hard grey,
the heaviest weight, the clumsiest shape,
the earthiest smell, the hollowest tone -
you love a stone.
You love a stone, because it's dark, and it's old,
and if it could start being alive you'd stop living alone.
And I think I believe that, if stones could dream,
they'd dream of being laid side-by-side, piece-by-piece,
and turned into a castle for some towering queen
they're unable to know.
And when that queen's daughter came of age,
I think she'd be lovely and stubborn and brave,
and suitors would journey from kingdoms away
just to make themselves known.
And I think that I know the bitter dismay
of a lover who brought fresh bouquets every day
when she turned him away to remember some knave
