Human condition

Don’t Give Me What I Want
-By TERRY TOM BROWN

Snippets:

Constructing a brightly colored nest works wonders for the bowerbird. Clownfish will actually change their sex in the right setting. Bonobo chimpanzees display their physical interest in one another directly and ceaselessly, performing sex acts as greetings.

Perhaps humans have simply entered a new stage of evolution in which we have abandoned chocolates, door holding, flowers or any overt gesture of interest for a new and unnatural order of things.

“The smartest thing you can do is play hard to get”...

...I began to think how ridiculous it is that our most useful allure is resistance and that our natural reaction is to push away someone who shows that he cares.
