However, what I meant by discreteness is somehow different from your fragmentation. The concept I’m talking about deals with the matter of unification and the nature of observation. I agree that the first posts of this weblog were too unclear. I’ll discuss this fact with you personally… Afsoon,

This is to break thing up into bits, as if they were independent. it's not merely making divisions but it is breaking things up which are not independent. its like taking a watch and smashing it into fragments, rather than taking it apart and finding its parts. the parts are parts of a whole, but the fragments are just arbitrarily broken off from each other. things which really fit and belong together are treated as if they dont. thats one of the features of thought thats going wrong." long one huh? :P peace :) I guess I’ll just post it here :D

I wasn't planning to disappoint my visitors! Actually, I do have three new entries ready to be published! However, since I have used some exact quotations from certain people, I am waiting for their permission to publish them. Please be patient and keep on checking ;) It will also be a great idea to add my RSS to your iGoogle ;) Sure! I wasn’t planning to disappoint my visitors!

It means: you are free in your life except the time you distract others from their personal freedom.this is the basic of libralism in any society. but culture in sense is'nt just restricted to your examples of normality and abnormality in iran. culture in evolutionary trend is something more to explain and complain about some of the nonses rules which may bother anyone! and I think I've talked about the evolution reasons for some of these rules,but some of them are importatnt for living in society, because the absence of some of them may cause damage to freedom and smooth life of a society! and crime is somthing that never will be given up!

People are free to do whatever they want unless they're harming other people. But the borders of this freedom is not very clear, because there are contradictions in what people want. When this happens, what majority of people want (whether it's right or wrong) becomes the right way to act. If you are a minority in any community, you should NOT try to act the way you want because you are probably taking away their freedom. You have 2 choices: to change their mind, and therefore by becoming the majority, you can do whatever you want. If you're not able to convince them or you're not interested, you're asked to leave the community. What and how the majority of people think and act becomes the de facto standard of the community they're participating in, even if it's the wrong way. It’s a direct descendant of freedom.
