Pink Whale Challenge: A better, healthier alternative to ‘The Blue Whale’

The ‘Pink Whale’ or ‘Baleia Rosa’ game aims to spread ‘love’ and ‘happiness’ to counter the effects of the online suicide game


Against the backdrop of the growing concern around the spread of the sinister game ‘The Blue Whale Challenge’, a new initiative dubbed as the ‘Pink Whale’ or ‘Baleia Rosa’ game aims to spread ‘love’ and ‘happiness’ to counter the effects of the online suicide game.

Created in Brazil in April, the game has already become popular on the internet, with more than 300000 followers on Facebook and 45000 on Instagram.


“The goal is to prove that the internet can also be used to spread love, that’s why the Pink Whale was born,” says their official website, baleiarosa.com.br.

“You must be one of the good ones. Keep working hard on it,” wrote one social media user. “What you are doing is fantastic, please keep it up” wrote another on Facebook.

Just like the Blue Whale Challenge, this Brazilian game presents 50 challenges to its players, but the effect is just the opposite. While the Blue Whale is all about self-harm, depressing messages and suicide, Baleia Rosa attempts to promote positivity and encourage people to save lives.



The game includes feel-good tasks like “With a marker, write on someone’s skin how much you love them”, “Apologize or forgive someone - you can unblock a friend from social media”, “Yell I Love Myself in the middle of a street” and “Unexpectedly tell your parents or another relative that you love them”. The final challenge is either to help someone/animal in need, or to donate to an organisation.

“The Pink Whale” is available for download on Android and iOS for free.

Korean Artist Beautifully Captures What Real Love Truly Looks Like

When you think about how love is portrayed, you probably think about the first child being born or a wedding day. You may even picture a 50th anniversary! But the unsung heroes of the long term love are those little gestures that make love so full and rich. A Korean artist named “Puuung” wants to bring it all to the forefront.
“Love is something that everybody can relate to. And Love comes in ways that we can easily overlook in our daily lives. So, I try to find the meaning of love in our daily lives and make it into artwork,” She writes.
Puuung reminds us that the little things really do matter.

Enjoy.

An Enchanting Trailer For The Adaptation Of ‘Le Petit Prince’

Littleprince
As you can see, the new adaptation of The Little Prince, the notorious work ofAntoine de Saint-Exupéry, was unveiled today with a first trailer from global film giant Paramount Pictures. The Little Prince, the most read and translated book in the world after the Bible, is undergoing a makeover through the new adaptation expected to be released on 7 October 2015.
70 years after the publication of the famous book, which follows the mystical journey of a magical prince from outer space, the project takes the form of an animated film that appeals to modern technical achievement. Perhaps most importantly the new version should appeal to the modern audience of snotty kids who are now notorious for having short attention spans and hating the written word.

Le petit Prince : une nouvelle bande-annonce...

Thanks to the director of Kung Fu Panda Mark Osborne and the latest CGI tech the French production is well and truly off the ground.
The cast is worth a special mention too. The actors chosen to lend their voices to the main characters are: Florence ForestiMarion CotillardVincent Cassel,Vincent Lindon and Guillaume Gallienne. On the other side of the Atlantic the parts will be voiced by Rachel McAdamsJames Franco, Jeff Bridges and Benecio Del Toro.
The Little Prince is a book for children secretly written for grown-ups. It can be read on many different levels and is full of meaning, texture and metaphor providing pleasure to readers of all ages. Hopefully the film will follow suit.

If Being Married Is So Great, Why Do So Many People Cheat?

"If you want to read about love and marriage, you've got to buy two separate books."—Alan King

"Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience."—Oscar Wilde

"I just want what every married woman wants—someone besides her husband to sleep with."— Peg Bundy, the character on the television show Married with Children.


Some studies indicate that married people live longer, benefit from better health, earn more money, accumulate more wealth, feel happier, enjoy more satisfying sexual relationships, and have happier and more successful children than those who remain single, cohabit, or get divorced (see here). Despite such benefits, about half of all recent marriages currently end in divorce, and many people choose to be single parents. Although marriage offers great benefits, many people do not want to be married.

This is the marriage paradox.

If sex within marriage is so good, why do so many people seek extramarital sex? Extramarital sex prevails despite the enormous risks it carries for those involved, including risks to their health, family, financial resources, and status. Moreover, it has been argued that married people have both more and better sex than singles do; only cohabitors have more sex than married couples, but they do not necessarily enjoy it as much. Married people are more satisfied with sex than cohabiting or single people are. This is due not merely to convenience, but to commitment. Thus, people who expect their current relationship to last at least several years are more likely than less committed people to find sex extremely satisfying emotionally.

Satisfaction with a sexual relationship is increased when the partners do not have sex with others. Accordingly, married people with more traditional views concerning sex out of wedlock are more likely to be sexually satisfied than married people with less traditional views are. However, even married people who have sexual affairs might enjoy better sex with their spouse. Thus, Margaret, a married woman who is having an affair for the first time in her long marriage, says:

"The best orgasms I get are with my husband, although I can have faster and more orgasms with my lover. But there is something with my husband that is unique; I guess we have had more practice."

Analyzing the empirical findings concerning the marriage paradox requires a subtle approach. Indeed, one longitudinal study of the impact of marital transitions on life satisfaction reveals that people who get married and stay married are indeed more satisfied than on average, but they were already so, long before the marriage took place. It seems that, often, happy people are more likely to get and stay married. On average, people get only a very small boost from marriage; most people are no more satisfied after marriage than they were prior to it. (Although it should be noted that the events of widowhood, and perhaps divorce as well, appear to have long-lasting negative effects.)

These findings do not mean that, after marriage, all people retain their starting level of satisfaction. Instead, while many people end up happier than they were before marriage, just as many end up less happy than they were, as marriage can be pleasant but also stressful. Various psychological factors are involved in determining such results. These findings suggest that some of the differences concerning happiness in marriage are due to pre-existing differences in satisfaction-these individual differences can easily be overlooked if only average trends are examined. Contextual and individual differences are thus crucial for determining long-term, as well as short-term, life satisfaction.

Several implications can be drawn from the above findings:


  1. For many people marriage is a suitable social framework for maintaining a high level of happiness; it is a most suitable one for those who are typically happier.
  2. Marriage is not suitable for many other people-typically, those with lower levels of happiness.
  3. The existence of romantic bonds, as well as other life circumstances, can make a difference to our happiness. Although for many people marriage is a beneficial romantic form, for others it is not.


Historically, the social framework of marriage has been considered beneficial because it offers life satisfaction, sex, children, and financial benefits. Not all these factors have had a similar weight through history. Thus, in some sectors of certain societies, life satisfaction and sex were not significant in marriage. Our society provides alternative forms of relationships that can offer these benefits, too. Thus, there are plenty of sexual opportunities outside marriage, children do not have to be raised within marriage, and people ensure their financial security without being married.

It seems that the gradual process of dissociating marriage from its significant relative advantages in terms of factors such as sex, children and financial security will continue. Accordingly, the survival of marriage will depend upon:


  • its ability to fulfill its intrinsic emotional function—that is, offering a more satisfactory form of life, and
  • its ability to be at least as beneficial as other alternatives regarding the other factors
It would appear that marriage can be at least as beneficial as other forms of relationships in matters of raising children and financial security. In terms of other factors, greater personal space would be very valuable in order to maximize such benefits.

The above considerations can be encapsulated in the following statement that a lover might express:

"Darling, I have read that marriage is good for people and makes them very happy. So why are you so miserable in our marriage? Perhaps you haven't yet read those studies?"


13 Signs Your Boyfriend Is Exactly Right For You




1. Being around him is always fun, even when the situation isn’t. Like that one time you were stuck in line at the bank for, like, two hours, so you both made up a weird game involving deposit slips and finding people in the bank who may or may not be drug dealers. Being with him turns all things into great things.

2. He knows about your weirdo shit and he’s into it. He knows you watch Lifetime movies over and over again while wearing a bathrobe and eating rice cakes, and he thinks it’s cute for some reason. The reason: because he is awesome.

3. He’s consistently great to you. If he makes you the most romantic dinner on Monday night, he doesn’t suddenly become the Hulk the following night just because you forgot to pick up a bottle of wine to bring to his parents’ place. Also, he should never become the Hulk.

4. You know (and like) all his friends. You’re friends with his friends and even if you’ve never met some of them, he talks about you all the time, so they feel like they know you.

5. He challenges you to be even more amazing. You’re already the coolest and he knows that because that’s why you’re together, but he thinks you’re capable of even more than you think you’re capable of (and you know you’re capable of a lot, so that’s saying something.)

6. He makes you feel like the most gorgeous human in the world. Even on days when you definitely do not feel that way, he still makes you feel like Jennifer Lawrence would feel ugly standing next to you. How does he do that?! Oh, by genuinely believing you’re the most gorgeous human in the world? That’s cool.

7. He never picks up coffee without asking if you want him to grab you something too. Same goes for “I’m at the grocery store” and “I’m at a store that sells puppies.”

8. He emails your mom any cute cat videos he finds because he knows she loves them. Not just so he can get in good with you but because he genuinely thinks it would make her day. This gesture is actually cuter than any cat videos he could find.

9. He remembers details about your friends and asks about them to see if they’re doing OK. "Hey, how’s Carrie doing? Is her mom still sick? Tell her to let me know if there’s anything I can do" is not only something you could picture him saying, he’s actually said that.

10. He cares about your physical needs. Even if you guys aren’t sleeping together, he finds out you like neck kisses so he goes out of his way to deliver more neck kisses. Awesome.



11. He lets you take time for yourself. You need time to work on your own projects and be with your friends or watch movies alone for hours? He gets that. He takes his time, you take yours, and then you get together and tell each other all about it (or not.)

12. He supports your dreams and goals 100 percent. Sometimes even more than you do because he knows you’re capable of doing anything you want to do. Whether it’s becoming the next T-Swift or running a 10K in the dead of winter, he’s into it, and he’ll make you snacks while you train.

13. He’s always crazy excited to see you. And vice versa. Even if you just saw him yesterday, it still feels like there’s a member of One Direction in your living room. How did he get in here?! Seriously, how did he get in here.

10 Ways: How to Have a Healthy Relationship - Part 1

Sometimes relationships can seem like a lot of work until you sit back and realize just how much you've been given. A thriving, healthy relationship requires some give and take, and is absolutely within your reach if you and your partner are willing to do a bit of work. If you and your partner are right for each other, all the work will definitely be worth it in the long run.

Part 1 of 2: Things You Must Do Independently

1. Take responsibility for your own happiness. Save yourself several hours of arguing by remembering this one rule: it's not up to anyone else to make you happy. In a relationship your partner will try to please you and make you happy but in the end you are responsible for your happiness.


2. Make good on your words. Follow through on your promises. When you say you're going to do something, do it. Don't say that you'll cook dinner, or get a birthday present, and then blow it off or simply forget about it. What this does is systematically destroy trust. And relationships need trust in order to thrive.


3. Admit your mistakes. If you know you've done something to hurt your partner, intentionally or not, own up to it. Humble yourself and apologize sincerely, without making excuses or justifications like "I'm sorry you made me angry."
Commit to changing your behavior. If you notice yourself apologizing for the same mistake over and over, step it up a level. Tell your partner that you recognize this mistake keeps happening, and you want to train yourself to stop. Request help and ask for him or her to gently point it out to you when you're making this mistake again.

4. Be realistic. Every relationship has disagreements and days when staying isn't the easiest choice. But what makes a relationship healthy is choosing to resolve those problems and push through the hard days, instead of just letting issues and resentment fester.
Review your expectations. Do you see your partner as a person, with both winning qualities and flaws, or as someone you expect to be perfect? If your expectations are so astronomical that no one could live up to them 100% of the time, you're setting up your relationship for failure.
Accept that conflict happens. If you expect to be in a long-term relationship, you're bound to have the occasional disagreement. Remember that one argument isn't the end of everything, and there's no person on earth that you'd agree with all the time.
Always ask yourself whether you're better off in the relationship than out of it. If you don't think you're better off in the relationship, then you probably should have a serious discussion with your partner. In a loving relationship, this question almost always gets a simple "Yes."


5. Listen to your partner. Sometimes, all your partner wants is for you to lend an ear and be sympathetic about one of their problems. Other times, your partner wants you to actively give them advice. Know which one your partner is looking for, and try to give them what they want. Being a good listener is all about paying attention to what they're saying and not blowing it off.
Listening to your partner will enhance your relationship in many ways. It will help you resolve differences without arguing; let you explore each other's personality more deeply; and even help you pick out an awesome Christmas present. There are no downsides to listening.

6. Show your affection in whatever way you can. There's a difference between knowing that you're loved and feeling that you're loved. Sometimes, we bank on the fact that our partners should know that we love them even when we don't show it. Don't rely on this too much. The best relationships use affection to show love.
Do something for your partner that you know s/he will truly appreciate. Whether it means getting up early to mow the lawn, taking the kids to karate, or baking that nutella shortcake, it's often the little favors that say the most.
Don't be afraid to show physical affection every once in a while. Loving relationships feed off of the little kisses, hugs, and back-rubs that are mainstays of affection.
Do the unexpected. It's one thing to kiss your partner after you come home from work; it's another thing to kiss your wife while you're skydiving, falling 10,000 feet from a plane. It's the thought that counts, so put a little effort into it for huge returns.


7. Be loyal. Make sure he/she knows that you will always be there for him/her. Put him/her first in your life as much as you possibly can. Not that you have to only see him/her ever, or never talk to anyone else, but he/she should know that he/she can always count on you if he/she needs something. Also, expect the same loyalty from him/her. You deserve to feel prized in the relationship just as much as him/her.

8. Do not ever hide anything from him/her. Especially your feelings about him/her and your relationship - whether good or bad! This way you will be able to overcome all the difficulties and challenges together. If something bad happened in your past that still affects you in the present, he/she needs to know about it. Note: you should be able to discuss your sexual history. It is an obligation before you decide to be sexually involved with your partner. But you should make them feel safe and not judgmental and you should expect the same from your partner.

9. Give him/her some space. Everyone needs their own privacy and some freedom, so don't constantly watch everything he/she does. Everyone hates to be watched, stifled and controlled.
Do not ever spy on him/her (reading his/her phone, stalking him/her on social networks, following him/her around). If he/she is cheating on you, you will find out. These things cannot be kept secret for very long. But if you spy on him/her and he/she is innocent, you will lose his trust and respect forever.


10. Express your feelings towards him/her. Always remind him/her of how much they mean to you, and what they represent to you. Women are not the only ones who need expressions of love and care, men need that too.
If you have a problem, you need to let him/her know - preferably in a clear and calm manner without any yelling. If he says `Are you OK?` and you answer yes, do not expect him to understand that you really meant no. Be honest and open.
Let him/her know it is safe to open up to you about what he is feeling. Reward his/her trust in you by sympathizing with him/her and, but you don`t need to say much, just listen.
Don't be afraid to lose him/her or spend every minute fearing the huge pain that that might cause you. Enjoy each wonderful moment as it happens, and realize that there will never be another one just like it.
Never be pathetic and needy just to make him/her pay attention to you and give you sympathy.
A solid relationship should be based on mutual respect; if you are constantly trying to pull him/her down with you, this means you don`t respect him /her enough to want him/her to be happy. If you are depressed, see a doctor - don`t pull some guy/girl into your problems.


Encourage him/her. So that he/she can be more successful at work or study. That will make him/her realize how much you care about his/her future and wish that he/she'd become one of the best. It will also make his/her feeling towards you grow even stronger, and he/she will believe that you're ready to support him/her on anything he/she does.
