@elena diaconu whatever the words used, they are here with a purpose. I think it’s up to us to assess their purpose and see if it fits with ours. Thanks for being part of the conversation

My husband likes to call most of them hardware, or genetical imprints, sort of milions of bits of data imprinted in the human brain throughout all the stages of evolution; sometimes we go even further in our discussions and speculate that they have been there, wiring up for hundreds of milions of years of life on earth, adding up, keeping us safe; but i tend to like more your conceptualization, that is the words you use to dress up the pre-existing idea; purely stilistically speaking, guardian/forbider sounds better than wire.

@Lance thanks for the nice words. I used to have quite a stubborn attitude towards interdictions until I finally managed to negotiate my way out of it.

I’m always happy if I can bring a spark. It’s up to you to start the fire, but at least I brought the spark.

Those forbidders!! Sometimes they do good. Yet, it seems these guys are the ones holding me back too often. I guess it's time to assess some of the interdictions going on... Interesting read today Dragos! I enjoyed it all very much. Lance’s last blog post..Be Yourself, Share Freely

@BunnygotBlog glad you’re at peace with your gatekeepers, that’s a sign of balance and control

@nutuba I’m a big fan of self-discipline. Dealing with interdictions surely involve a lot of self-discipline and awareness. I like the role-model perspective too

Respect the boundaries of others; respect yourself as well. It's okay to "go wild" by some definition of going wild, but not if it makes you compromise your values. Something else to think about is self-discipline for the sake of being a role model for others; this is especially relevant for parents. It doesn't always work. Anyway, I like this article. This is interesting stuff! nutuba’s last blog post..March Serenity
