Conditioning. Different family backgrounds and culture, etc.

why can't we all satisfy eachother's desires in the same way?
Different body types, different levels of hormones, personality, etc. I'd also say conditioning again, as what turns one person on may do nothing for another.

People who love traveling all the time eventually want to go home, if even for only a short break to ground themselves. Of course some in more extreme degrees than others, and the ones out there who never seem to get tired out do appear to be the most alive.

So really, I have no idea what I'm talking about at all and contradict myself tons, but philosophy is for pondering anyway.

All right, I'm done. Thanks for the thoughts.
