yeah. there is a song too... turn turn turn... or something. there is a season etc.

> And yet, can we really *choose* to love or to fear? Those are very strong emotions that don't respond well to rational thought (in my experience)
yah. recalcitrant emotions (that persist despite judgement / belief to the contrary). interesting... probably implemented on relatively basic low level structures that have fairly limited interaction with higher structures where the thinking / judging etc goes on...

hmm. maybe...
there is a need that your 'bad' choices fulfill?
and you can't think of 'good' alternatives that meet those needs?
maybe... because you have trouble with those low level emotional responses (which can be fairly intense)?
dunno.
