If you give a mouse a cookie. (1) If you give a mouse a cookie | Read Aloud | Storytime - YouTube   This on the surface is a great kid’s book, however, it shows, what could be called the slippery slope fallacy. So, it is about to do we have free will.  Something that is up for massive levels of debate and people has dedicated their whole lives to trying to solve this question there are many thoughts on this and many different schools of thought. It also goes into in a very small way moral responsibility to others.  It is about a mouse that is freely given a cookie, yet there are more and more requests. On the person who freely gave the cookie to the mouse, given that the cookie was given willingly I do ask the question about does the person that is giving the mouse a cookie understand the consequences of his actions. This goes into the Law of unintended consequences, this law being that you can’t always see the consequences of your actions and that at times these actions you might

The Shadow world and Mental Health. Alec Lightwood.

   Warning this contains a discussion about self-harm and attempted suicide.   So this is a continuation of the posts about Alec and his Mother Maryse lightwood, they have quite a rocky relationship and it is difficult to see this and how it affects him as it really does affect him quite badly at times.

Maryse Lightwood is the Mother of Alec and Isabelle lightwood and the adopted mother of Jace, who was left in the Lightwood family's care at 10 years of age. In the first and second seasons is married to Robert lightwood and they are the heads of the New York institute.  This clip show's us how Maryse is in the first season very " no-nonsense," her body language and dress show that she means business. This is a very authoritative personality style that ties into her role in the show which is as the head of an institute. It shows us how she conducts her everyday life.  It also tells us that they are mostly away at Idris most of the time and leave Alec in charge. ( This is a variation from the books we see that because they are teens that Hodge their tutor is  their guardian.)    She is very domineering and demanding to Izzy and Alec but very compassionate to Jace. ( I will do a post on him being the "golden child").   As Clary says it shows a window into the
