Why do we do the things we do? How did they become human nature?
How come we cry when we're sad or hurt? What's so significant about pain and sadness, and why does it open up the tear ducts?
How come when someone is crying, we feel the need to hug or comfort them? Why don't we just..not care?
How come we kiss people when we love them? Why is putting your lips on someone else's considered romantic?
Why do we scratch something when it itches? How do you know to do these things without being taught?
How did they become instinct?
I don't understand it...
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? |

But what if this so called "God" some people believe in doesn't exist?
I mean, there's no proof either way, but...

That's just the normal things of life that happens. The first thing a human learns is crying. Imagine if we did not react if we got hurt. That would be kind of wierd. Therefore where ever we get hurt, it gives viabration or something through you and it hurts so you tend to cry. I don't know how it actives the tear ducts but it does. This is just the way we are made, and we teach ourselves it.
It doesn't matter if God does or does not exist, We were made that way. By God if you believe, or by whatever you believe we were made by. |

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.
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.

Sometimes I ask similar questions to myself, then stop because I get a headache. |

Oh my, yes, such a lovely question. I love questions like these, because they allow me to "think".
Reasons why? Instincts rather. Foreign instincts formed from generation to generation. These things, are what makes the human unique. Take these things away, and the world is dead. Of course, it is also human nature to destroy and want power, along with stubborness and arrogance (I will admit there are good bunch of humanity out there with hearts of gold), which is also killing the world. Either way, human nature is the thing that humanity would be dull without.
Think about it, if nobody cared, if nobody cried, and if nobody loved. The world with be dull and grey. Nothing unique. The generic communistic industrial world, with everyone and everything the same.
Human nature, is human nature. |

Fools.
Things are the way they are because we as a society have decided to make them as such.
If we started thinking that kissing was a disgusting experience, it would no longer feel good when you kiss.
I can explain in greater detail, if need be.
In short, human nature is human nature because that is what Humans have made it to be. |

But why do humans make it that way? What internal force drives people to suddenly agree on an idea? |

Neanderthaloid fools who decided to try things out of boredom, or stupidity, and in turn, have created multiple fads within our culture. |

Sorry, human-hating nature popped up there. |

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 |

As The Chaos Heart said, society has evolved because humans had developed enough minds to become curious about the world around them. Why? Either through evolution or because that's the way God intended it, there are no logical explainations otherwise.
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. |
