Re: Why do things unnecessary?

Quote:
originally posed by provisional
why is it that people tend to do things without any necessary reason (and consistently do them because they feel like it makes them feel better-couldn't this be a decieving thought?)?
deceiving whom? Feeling better is good, deceiing ourselves into feeling better.......the other side, feeling rotten but honest. This concept just doesn't feel right to me

Quote:
For instance, making sense somehow that going to the bathroom to relieve something our bodies do naturally...why do we see it necessary to go somewhere privately to do this..? (I've thought of the principles and it all comes to the fulfilling of acceptance I assume)
I do not worry about being accepted, it is not important. I accept myself and my actions should convey my respect for others by not providing a view of bodily functions.

Say your walking down the street and you see someone (who to the physical world) that seems like they need a "pick me up" or however you'd like to think of it...(this person could seem geeky and look lonely or something along those lines) why do people (and I do empathize this feeling, but take an extreme logical approach to it) feel the need to say hi or try and put a smile on someones face? I don't understand the meaning or reasoning for it I feel like assuming someone needs something just by looking at them and knowing nothing about them (really) could be a deception of our senses... and in return if they are feeling lonely (would you be decieving them?) in the sense of them interpreting your saying hello or being nice as something genuine? (when its in fact probably not...? I've found this true for me :/) Anyways... I'd just like to hear your thoughts on it... maybe tell me I'm crazy or something... :P I just need someone to relate to...
your smile or hello certainly is not obligatory, but it costs you nothing. What it gives is worth more than gold

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
