You could think the reason why we do this is the same as the reason we go to demonstrations.. to take our bath .. to clear ourselves...The reason why you do what you do could perfectly be that thisis a chaotic system.. well highly nonlinear with a bunch noise and you never wha tit is going to become.. or what your effect is going to be..

But the hard truth is that the reason why you do not take any pill or watch TV.. the reason why this is all worthy is very simple:

One day you would take a Guiness with me.... with me or with Jerome or Brit or afew.. ep wait you already did....

And that's all it counts.. one day you will die.. the Earth will go on till the sun explodes with or without us...but meanwhile you took a Guiness with me ...So you already know why we all do this..you just forgot it.

Learning is just recalling.

I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
