I'm listening to P.O.D right now as I write this.... that's Payable On Death for those who don't know. I'm not sure what track it is, but it has a heavily repeated question in it which got me thinking... Why do we do the things we do?

Because...? because of what... because of necessity? desire? anger? revenge? greed? What do we say when this question is put forth, asking us to explain our actions?

We make up excuses, some of us...or lies, to hide some unpleasant truth, or in some cases we even brush aside the question, saying that it is personal.

Why do we do the things we do? Is it because of our feelings? I think so... deep inside, everything we do is guided by our feelings... emotions guide the very essence of human beings. Rational thought is purely secondary in my mind. We are all victims of our greed, which takes various forms... from wealth to love. Our emotional needs, at times absurd, must be satisfied, or else it will consume us.
