So, seems automatic behavior it's ok(By nature) but defend it would mean closed minded.Notice that this mean laws and orders are necessary (in order to improve ourselves)and we have to be humble enought to follow them, if we don't want to be a closed mind person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766985265879664956.post-28283375533320858302010-02-06T04:41:34.574-08:002010-02-06T04:41:34.574-08:00Good point.Good point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766985265879664956.post-78783964292013718022010-02-05T19:00:45.598-08:002010-02-05T19:00:45.598-08:00anonymous,

I remember when I was 16 years old (now 32) my father was shaving at 6.40 am and I ask him why we do the same thing every day? waking at 6 am, take a shower, go to the school, etc? I think I got bored when I asked him but he told me that 'this is life', I was suspicios of that statement he could not helpme with my question. That morning at 11 o'clock he died of heart attack in his office. And still I keep asking life questions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766985265879664956.post-64515444980579432272010-02-03T14:21:13.394-08:002010-02-03T14:21:13.394-08:00how many actions of (wo)(men) are automatic (socia...how many actions of (wo)(men) are automatic (socially, biologically, historically determined)?<br />0%, 1%, 3%, 10%, 30%, 90%, 99%, 100%?<br /><br />shaving or behaving or having?<br />fun?i.c.hirnoreply@blogger.com
