    The things that should be done generally requires more effort, energy and courage ...since we're all lazy people who would prefer sitting on our butts, we'd rather not do those things. The things we aren't supposed to be doing are somehow more appealing and seem more fun to us, that's y we do it =)

    we do things we dont want to do because we know the exact outcome but do it anyway and we dont want to do what we want to because it scares us because it has not been done by us and we dont want to have to go through something sometimes

    I don't know but it's very true...probably because we are too chicken **** to say no to people and too chicken **** to not care what anyone thinks!
