Humans seek to explore the forbidden
Tell someone not to do something is a sure shot formula
To ignite their interest in that particular activity suddenly
Anything that is declared out of someone’s reach becomes most coveted
The non-conformist side of our brain wants to jump into
All that we aren’t supposed to do, see, access or even eat
Better not mention it at all if you want them to not do it at all!

I think that’s one thing on which I must be different because being forbidden to do something won’t make me want to do it if I understand WHY I shouldn’t do it. I ask for – and I take – advice. It has saved my life. But I always need an explanation. I need to know WHY, not just what.

Brilliant insight into the minds of humans!!! This is why book banning gives rise to higher sales! When the book “Maus” was first banned, it sold out everywhere … even on Amazon I had to backorder it!

Great take on the mind. I agree.
I’m always surprised by the horror movies tho. Here in Africa, anything supernatural or superstitious is usually let be. I would say we mostly respect what is forbidden. I mean there’s a whole world of mysteries even if you leave the old abandoned shack alone. A lot of it is credited to the mothers and aunts for scaring us shitless about real victims.

Very good point, Sadje. I’m going to use that reverse psychology on Colette next time she’s here, perhaps something like “don’t touch that broom to help Grammy sweep, Colette.” I think that just might work! 😃
