The Myth of Monogamy

[tokidoki]

---

I borrowed this line from a book written by David P. Barash. I haven't read the book yet. I'm still looking for it but the title itself is so true. Monogamy IS a myth.

Another pathetic attempt at justifying most males' incapacity to be loyal and faithful..Tsk.tsk..

[tokidoki]

oh? and the other sexes are exempted? get real! no one is exempted.

[jlodarl]

yeah.. no one is exempted... but mostly......

[jlodarl]

males are....

[tokidoki]

nope. do your research. google is your friend.

it has been found that the children of all females in the animal kingdom belong to different fathers. and males of course daghan ug gi anakan. dili na dautan it's an inctinct that we need to multiply. Not only that, it's also in our instinct to find the best genes to multiply.

please lang, this is not a gender debate.

Please stay on topic.

judging by your comments it's obvious none of you ever read the entry.

The big difference between us and animals is that we are more resilient to the dictates of our instinct. Many priests, monks, and nuns go on forever being celibate by choice.
I for one as a male get the occasional hard ons from looking at different women time to time but I don't stray away. I remain loyal to my lady come what may and it's not something I have to work hard on.

under normal conditions resilient. but sa ako gyud observation we can never tell how we would react under extreme conditions. Mao na mga kaila nako mag 2 time sabton nalang nako. A lesson I learned, DO NOT JUDGE IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

I count criminals as people experiencing stress under extreme conditions. That's why I don't judge them anymore. Coz if naa ko gibuhi na pamilya, then lisud panahon nya walay kwarta, makaingon sad ko makakawat ug patay pud ko oi. I'm not saying I can do that now but I have understood enough about the human mind to respond under extreme stress. In a perfect world everyone is your friend and there are no criminals.

The concept behind that blog can go far beyond just relationships. One aspect ra na akong gi discuss para lang naa ta reference point for my idea about how in the end we surrender to instinct.

Besides, people respond more when I talk about relationships and L-O-V-E.

what do you mean u don't judge them(criminals) anymore?

tanan tao naa man gyud instinct...to survive... how can i not judge them? naa ku kaila, pobre kaayu, maglisud xa pakaon sa iyang pamilya, pero sa kakugi nya, arang2x na xa karon... wala xa naglimos, wa xa nangawat... apan kanang uban, tinood, basin gigutom iyang pamilya, nangawat sa lain tawo, na naa pud pamilya pakanon.... kung madakpan nato nang tauhana, dili diay nato na "i-judge?"

you're talking about the penal code. i'm talking about my personal judgement.
