Interesting Askville Questions:
One of life misteries has been solved for me as I used this method of approval since learning to speak and never knew the origin. If you are curious as was I here then is the answer;) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylc=X3oDMTFpc3BxOW1xBF9TAzIwMjM1MzgwNzUEX3MDMzk2NTQ1MDAxBHNlYwN0ZC1tZXRybwRzbGsDdG9kYXlx?qid=20090902015822AAuKEzJ If however you do not care "IT'S O.K. hee,hee,hee :)
I understand what it means, but I am wondering, what is the origin?
Is your consciousness local and restricted to your body or is it widespread and your brain is just aware of it? I realize that this is subject of intense debate but I am asking about your belief/feeling concerning it, not expecting a deep discussion of this area (but feel free to do so if you like). Opinion question.
