I took a minute to look around at the wonders that comprise my life. The amount of choice we have as people is amazing. The most shocking thing is how few choices we make consciously. For example, every morning, I choose to get up, eat breakfast, and go to work. There are hundreds of choices in that set of actions. White socks or black? Green ( Read more... )

On the way back to the hotel, we passed a man having intercourse with a large blue letter-box. I don't think I've ever seen any sexual activity that looked more awkward.

I was just thinking about the concept of duty.  Specifically as obligatory tasks, conduct, or service.  Does any society exist without this concept?  Do animals feel a duty to protect and oversee the growth and independence of their young in the same way as humans? I don't believe fish sense duty.... but I'm not really sure.  Snakes and other ( Read more... )
