this post needs more cowbell!!!!

happy holidays.

p.s. develop your own moral compass, then you will follow your own path. Do not follow the herd, it is difficult and you will be punished, but then you do not have to justify your own actions to yourself. Sometimes the best of intentions end up as a disaster. Too much to discuss in a post...

"I looked about me. Luminous points glowed in the darkness. Cigarettes punctuated the humble meditations of worn old clerks. I heard them talking to one another in murmurs and whispers. They talked about illness, money, shabby domestic cares. And suddenly I had a vision of the face of destiny. Old bureaucrat, my comrade, it is not you who are to blame. No one ever helped you to escape. You, like a termite, built your peace by blocking up with cement every chink and cranny through which the light might pierce. You rolled yourself up into a ball in your genteel security, in routine, in the stifling conventions of provincial life, raising a modest rampart against the winds and the tides and the stars. You have chosen not to be perturbed by great problems, having trouble enough to forget your own fate as a man. You are not the dweller upon an errant planet and do not ask yourself questions to which there are no answers. Nobody grasped you by the shoulder while there was still time. Now the clay of which you were shaped has dried and hardened, and naught in you will ever awaken the sleeping musician, the poet, the astronomer that possibly inhabited you in the beginning.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand, and Stars

i'm thinking; the primary factor is your lineage. Mexicans act differently than the Irish, which are different than the Asians, etc. Secondly is the individuals physical disposition. Are they genetical tied to being overwieght, depressive, handicapped, etc, thirdly is the environment they inhabit, free, suppressed, at war, etc. What you do in the breadth of what you can do, is largely a function of your past experiences in exploration, and your desire to explore.

Everything it relative. Even the absolute rule of gravity is relative ... to this universe.

"why do people do what they do ?" seems only interesting as question in relation to specified action's and in relation to the type's of persons.

Basically we are ruled by the automated and/or unconscious actions or our brain. Nice thing is it will also generate some reasons for any action if it feels the conscious part needs them.

The only time your really exercising your free will is if you do something you normally wouldn't do.
And I figure even that can be automated. :p

I would imagine that there as many reasons that could be adduced to behavior motivation as there are people on earth.

While some individuals devote their productive years to providing for their loved ones and hopefully making the planet a better place, others apply their creativity to pillage, deception, fraud and yes, murder, whereby such specimens only attain true contentment when their endeavors cause varying degrees of misery or harm to others.
I dunno but catfish you got any leads on gold claims? I'll pay for the protection if you get the land and someone else get the equipment. I'll got toe to toe wiht those chinese and their shotguns in the dark. Or if you can get gold cheap PM me. :)
