Against nature

We pride ourselves in being rational beings. We are "so far removed" from animals we can even use the term as an insult. We are so superior we can even class the rest of living beings into higher animals, lower animals, etc. But at the end of the day, we also pride ourselves in being able to enjoy our basic animal instincts.

But as the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it. Either we are rational or we are not.

Yes, the answer, of course, is that we are both. Ah, how nice to have double standards. To be able to choose when to be rational and when to react by instinct. We can decide when to see things with logic and when to... react!

Well then, as some of you know, after certain repeated experiences, certain recursve cycles, this is the moment in my life when I decide once more (once and for all) that logic, rationalism are what must prevail and to choose when instinct can have free run. Just because of this, a good friend of mine said I was going against nature. But ¿isn't that being human?

This morning, with the usual bombardment of a day like today, in the front page of a free newspaper, it said that 58% of couples break up. Its a statistic. And 97,3% of statistics are made up. No-one knows how many couples break up nor how long were they together for. The reasons are many and varied, simple, complex and a large portion of them are due to a lack of understanding, communication, differnt rules, deviations in knowledge... People change, as do the images we have of them as they evolve according to their changes. Action and reaction and sometimes intention is futile, promises are not kept... choose the sin and pick up a rock, you're sure to hit someone.

It's time to evaluate the lessons learned. How to act logically when there is no logic to be applied to a world where rational people don't decide when to be instinctive? Logic has its moments. Instincts have different ones. And it is rare when the combination is positive. It is therefore logical that the solution is to apply rational and instinct when it's their time. Set goals and ban roads, since some roads have proven not to be worth the trip regardless of who you walk them with. Those roads al end the same.

If there is an easy road and a hard one, why chose the hard one always? I'll miss things, yeah, sure. Am I contious of it? Yes. I've seen much and it hasn't given me as much as it was supposed to. Nature is not that pretty sometimes. Traditions aren't always valid to every one.

And if that is being anti-natural, if that is going against nature, someone should let ol'Cupid know:

Translation:
-So Cupid, how's life?
-I'm going to stay free and single. Some of the things I see in my work really get to me.
