When you chase a cat, it runs away. But when you sit and ignore it, the cat seems almost drawn to you. I draw the same connection to cats. When you chase a cat, it runs away.

]]> Comment on Zen and the Art of Losing Your Virginity by Randy the Yearlyglot http://cmfournier.com/2011/05/10/zen-part-three/#comment-90 Randy the Yearlyglot Tue, 10 May 2011 16:12:00 +0000 http://cmfournier.com/?p=117#comment-90 Hell yeah. I read a wonderful evolutionary explanation for this once. You're a prehistoric man, animal, whatever. You see a "risk" - taking food from a bear or something. If you're a creature with the gene for fear of doing what you want, you'll stay hidden, and while you won't experience "success", you will live to reproduce. However, if you happen to be a creature without that "fear gene", you may go for it, and there are higher odds that you will die, and those genes will fail to be reproduced. So the biological fact is, we're all evolved to be afraid, even when there's nothing to fear, because that behavior increased the survival rate of our ancestors. Well, the nice thing is, it's easy to get over fears. You just have to push past them the first time, and then after that, they're not so bad. Hell yeah.

Also, I notice that thinking (more often than not) actually prevents action. Those who think to much, never <em>do</em> anything. This is an integral part of my reasoning behind <a href="http://www.myamazingyear.com" rel="nofollow">The Yearly Challenge</a>; by committing to large goals that require constant action, it takes away the luxury of overthinking.
