Mel,
There are several causes and conditions: Humans are social animals and mostly enjoy communicating with each other. Societies that scrutinize, talk, discuss, debate and argue over everything, tend to be more intelligent, like for intance the Jewish people. Our society has much freedom to speak out and can attribute its success as a great culture partly to this freedom. And yes, some societies place a greater emphasis on verbal communication than others. Whatever they do, it's all good, IMO. --ED --- In [email protected], Mel <gunnar19632000@...> wrote: > > ...Many, because that's what they've become accustomed to... > > Buddha be praised > Mel > After those long hours of zazen, who would not be exploding with chattiness? ;-) > --ED
