Why is it that when you tell someone they shouldn't do something, they get the urge to do it. The more you tell them not to do it, the stronger the urge to do it becomes. Is it rebellion or is it just the way we are made. I saw a "Do not
Enter" sign and everyone that looked at it, looked like they wanted to go in just because. I caught people poking their noses in there, probably because it said not to enter. Why do we always want to disobey the rules? Personally I think our brains cannot process negativity properly, so we do the opposite by n
egating the negative in the statement. So Do not enter registers as Do enter.

People want to do something they shouldn't because they want to be in control of the situation. Also sometimes curiosity just gets the best out of us. The do not enter sign on the door makes people wonder what is going on in the room.
I don't know if you just needed to post something or if you just observe people very closely.
LMAO!!! That is the greatest picture ever!!!!
ok..now that I got that out of my system...it all goes back to our childhood. As children we were told "don't do this" and "don't go here". What did we do? that's right, the exact opposite.It's like Robert Greene wrote in his book. He explains that children all have a "dark side" which they are able to express because it seems harmless. However, as we become adults, that "dark side" tends to become repressed because of pressures of society.
Robert Greene goes on to say that "as adults, we secretly want to recapture that lost self-the more adventurous, less respectful, childhood part of us." That's my view of it anyway.
Damn man...you got me all talking about psychology and what not...no one does that...sheesh, now everyone knows this side of me...thanks, lol
Just like juan said your parents may have told u not to do something but u do it anyway because the mind must know what is going on...Curiousity killed the cat (something like that)
It's all about curiosity even if it's going to harm us we wonna know what it is.
