By Karl W. Giberson March 23, 2014 12:00 AM The Daily Beast
The “Big Bang” theory of the origin of the universe got a big boost this
week when scientists reported the discovery of 14-billion-year-old echoes of
the universe’s first moments—the first proof of an expanding universe,
and the last piece of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

国学如何定义道德？国学对道德的定义∶“道就是包容他人，德就是限制自己。”
西方人如何定义道德（morality）？西方人所谓的道德不是完全指人的言行，而强调的
是人的信仰（belief）。

A highly sensitive person (HSP) is a person having the innate trait of high
psychological sensitivity (or innate sensitiveness as Carl Jung originally
coined it). According to Elaine N. Aron and colleagues as well as other
researchers, highly sensitive people, who comprise about a fifth of the
population, may process sensory data much more deeply and thoroughly due to
a biological difference in their nervous systems.[1]
