We may be predisposed to certain behaviour in the initial stages of our lives but we are never bound to them for all eternity. Eg: Many people believe that is a fact substantiated by genetics that females are smaller and weaker than males. But that is not because they are female; that they have female reproductive organs, rather it is because their cultures limit them to certain lifestyles therefore limiting their capacity for growth. In this regard, culture overwrites genetics. It usually does.<br /><br />As for generalisations, they are potentially dangerous. They become dangerous when people start believing that generalisations are absolute. It cripples them, leads them to the roads of ignorance and intolerance, and so on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168347574403846331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770818236569607682.post-27313374205895876302009-09-11T12:38:44.082+08:002009-09-11T12:38:44.082+08:00what do you mean? you had enough nosebleeds lately...what do you mean? you had enough nosebleeds lately? di ba masama yun?Nielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340191295121067673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770818236569607682.post-37727506654980649652009-09-11T12:29:00.393+08:002009-09-11T12:29:00.393+08:00nosebleed mode.

I didn't even said goodbye or announce a blog leave (Not that I would when I finally decide to stop blogging). I've been blogging (not making comic strips, though) about dolls for a while. But I don't think that would interest a lot of you folks. ^_^<br /><br />And I've been reading blogs (yours and others), too but since I have nothing new to say (or I don't feel the need to reiterate anything) I don't leave comments. I just giggle in my corner at the little absurdities I read.Nielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340191295121067673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770818236569607682.post-14035805383533573962009-09-11T02:24:33.324+08:002009-09-11T02:24:33.324+08:00fact or fiction? truth or dare? true or false?

(12:50AM and 2:46AM), I think we believe what we want to believe (free will or predestination) for our own benefit (like it would make us feel better).<br /><br />and about <i>"the one/thing/event who/that set my destiny is unfair.<br />"</i><br /><br />It may not be just one entity. It could be your genetic makeup and how you are raised (including society, education) combined that lead you to your choices.<br /><br />@citybuoy, I guess we should at least know how to define and make rule for these things only for ourselves (and not force it on others).Nielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340191295121067673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770818236569607682.post-15129344081455527192009-09-10T17:46:11.453+08:002009-09-10T17:46:11.453+08:00OR!
