While a chameleon can change its physical colour, human beings are capable of changing their colour to suit different situations;face different people! Some of us more logical, some more practical, some more engaging and some purposeful and some lost to the world.<br />CCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978327408480077408.post-72139325661330932242010-12-14T17:18:50.824-08:002010-12-14T17:18:50.824-08:00PS: As for me...

Take Germany for instance: VERY uncomfortable with the grey and fuzzy. With very few exceptions, traits like consistency of logic, dependability of statements, black-and-white interpretation are rewarded. One of the consequences: a very "process driven" culture. Even the language has evolved in a way that metaphors are few and far between, multiple meanings of the same word are infrequent (make no mistakes... German literature is still very rich). Indian subcultures are almost the other extreme end of the spectrum. The big question is HOW did it turn out to be that way. That's another very long conversation - spanning evolutionary biology and anthropology. - ASnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978327408480077408.post-13583356770865611282010-12-14T17:02:04.116-08:002010-12-14T17:02:04.116-08:001 of 2: Perhaps you meant "Writers Black"...1 of 2: Perhaps you meant "Writers Black", as opposed to Writer's Block ;-) ASnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978327408480077408.post-65533948173466429702010-12-13T21:17:05.003-08:002010-12-13T21:17:05.003-08:00:-)....good one!!...........and all this time i th...:-)....good one!!...........and all this time i thought you were the precise logical one!!<br />DBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978327408480077408.post-1830964933929428072010-12-13T11:31:00.695-08:002010-12-13T11:31:00.695-08:00That happened by mistake!
