I've been pondering these things lately.
The real question is, do you think you know the
answer to these questions? Why did they become human nature in the first place? |
When we're sad or hurt, we cry because it helps our bodies feel better physically. Sadness affects us in both ways. Have you ever felt weaker when saddened? And pain and sadness are significant because they are human emotions. They make us stronger and shape us into what we will become. You're becoming this even until your last dying breath, because we never stop feeling emotions. And as for crying, it clears out the dirt in your eyes that has gotten in. Laughing and yawning. Laughing makes you feel good. It always makes you feel better. When you're down and looking for some cheering up, just laugh. You'll feel much better. Yawning is a wake-up call to your brain. It gets in extra oxygen so you can stay awake when your brain is becoming tired and less active. As for comforting someone who is crying, only good people do that. People who have been that sad can relate to them, and the people with god hearts feel the need to comfort the others because it makes both people feel better. Knowing that you helped someone will make you feel good, and the other person will be glad you comfort them. People who aren't nice or kind DON'T help. They DO just... not care. Scratching something is instinct, which is why you don't need to be taught. And itches are just quick funny feelings. Scratching them makes them go away. I don't know why kissing someone when you love them works like that. Maybe because when you love them enough, it makes you feel more like they're yours, and less like you could break up. I really don't know about this one. As of why they became human nature, it's just that that's the way we evolved. If you killed all the humans, leaving monkeys to evolve into humans, I'm sure it would develop the same way. |

Crying = To release endorphins.
hugging and stuff = Humans need touch to function properly; it "levels things out" somehow. As for the emotional part, I don't know. :c
Kissing = Apparently it used to be used to get the scent of others. It evolved over time, I guess.
Scratching = I dunno.
[size=24]They became instinct through hundreds of years of being conditioned into such actions. The man who scratched off the parasites survived, and the one who left them died.
[/size] |
Exactly. But now the parasites are gone for the most part, and the habit stays, like a regular habit. The next generation inherits the trait of scratching, and since only people with that habit survived, it's very rare to have someone who doesn't ever scratch themselves. We can't even classify them as... Well, I don't have anything to call them. O_o |
Scratchozites? o-o;
Anyway, yeah. If you think of it, everything has a scientifical meaning. It seems that as every day passes by, my love of life dwindles, and my belief in god shrinks as well... |

Humans learn through two ways: on instinct and on example. Speech, mannerisms, quirks, movements, history, heritage, culture - these are all passed on to the young by those older. That's how its been with all species over time: a ways to communicate and pass on genes, a legacy. Instinct is simply made as a ways to survive, or to simplify survival. 'Killer' instinct, hunger, discomfort, pain, thirst, sex hormones - these all come from the mind's subconscious desire to stay alive and pass on genes. It cannot be understood at the level of thought that humanity is at now, and I doubt we'll ever reach that point before we wreck this planet completely.
Kissing, hugging, feeling sympathy - we've all learned these things as infants and children. We grew up, we learned this, so we feel it. It's possible to give no sympathy to others, if you were raised to believe that it was false. It all depends on the scene you were raised in.
That's a basic overview of human behavior. Tears, yes, are used to release endorphins. Why can only humans cry? We just evolved that way. Why do we do what we do to show romance? It's part of our culture, our legacy, the desire to pass down all we have to those we breed. It's instinct. It's barbaric. It's human nature.
...and that is what I learned from Metal Gear Solid 1-3. |
I didn't know that Mei Ling. :awesome:
No Offense Mister I,

It's our nature, so why do you question it? (FYI, you're not making a difference). |

It never hurt to question something you don't fully understand.
How did it become human nature? Some people think that it became our nature over time, and some people think we were just born knowing what to do. Similar to how a bird knows how to fly.

Although birds learn how to fly, we don't learn how to scratch ourselves.
We know how to kiss because we see other people do it, either its your parents, or on your TV. By like 4 you fully understand what kissing is about.
When you see someone cry, you have the option to help them or not. That is not human nature, it is a choice. Care is also a choice not human nature. If you care for that person who is crying, maybe you would try to cheer him/her up.
And when you are itchy, where ever you are itchy sends signals to your sub conscious making you scratch without even thinking about it. |

She's not attempting to make a difference. She's attempting to understand. |
