But IMO it's nothing more *than* > preference. Nothing wrong about having preferences. But with preferences and likings, its even more clear that they are not in our hands. Why do I like something and somebody else likes something different? Due to biological responses (not in your hands), experiences and your response to them (having had a bad experience with somebody you will avoid him/her), desires and psychological conditioning. In the end you beat your fist to your breast and say: 'It's me, me. I like' etc Whereas in truth you can't help. You started this thread by saying, *after a lifetime of experience* you came to the conclusion. *After a lifetime of experience*, that is pure conditioning par example. ------------------------ Yahoo!
