1. Do we actually realize there's no guarantee of tomorrow?
2. If we each knew the date and time of our death, how would this knowledge change things? (Edit: If we each knew the longest we would live, but could die earlier by accident, mayhem or disease, how would this knowledge change things?)

Originally posted by wolfgang59Probably the same reason "a fool repeats his folly" according to an ancient aphorism; also, "Just like cats bury their feces, dogs likely eat their vomit so their prey doesn't realize they're in dog territory. This behavior is probably instinctual, and has remained in domesticated dogs." according to Google. So the old habit apparently relates to the life support of food supply.
Answer: Health Foods

The post that was quoted here has been removedI think not only it is good but essential to talk to yourself. Not necessarily in loud voice, on the contrary, the self intimate talks are often the most productive.
I also talk to Tilly, my cat, who happens to be a parrot like me and our song lines are harmonically in tune. 🙂
8. Do you agree that having pets greatly help with stress?
