When you want to convince me to do something(like play chess or follow a philosophy or whatever), dont use any of the following arguments.
- You must do it because everyone else is doing it. I think 'If you wanna go nowhere follow the crowd'.
- You must do it because its a tradition, and the older folks do it. You know, your parents and the grandparents and such like. As far as i know, our ancestors were also cannibals.
- You must do it because X (who is successful and rich) does it or did it or recommends doing it. Super duper crap.

hehe I agree... there is nothing more convincing to me to do the complete opposite as one of those reasons to do something (did that make sense?)
it has left me curious however as to who has been trying to talk you into to doing what... :-)
Made me laugh!
The only outside reason good enough for me to do anything is because Jesus said to do it! Anf then again, I might not even agree on someones interpretation of that.
Can you tell I was in a very legalistic church at one time? :-)
Thanks for coming by the blog today and saying Hi!
Blessings to you!
