To err is human. That is probably my favorite quotation. More than that, probably, i think its a sub-conscious defense to the many and frequent mistakes i invariably make. I am, after all, human. Which, as i was told, is to err. Its one of those superb self fulfilling theories that just leave your innards glowing with contentment at how the world functions, and one of the few things that give you actual happiness for being a part of it. Human error. That infallible defense i can take refuge in, hiding behind its various forms made to suit your specific needs. I could go on and on. I wont.
I was reading up on the human genome code project the other day. These guys have progressed further ahead than even the initiators of this project could have ever imagined. The gene for long age, auto-immune diseases, a melodious voice, an athletic disposition and so on. They can now tell you what are the chemical changes that occur in your body while you consume a chocolate bar. I wasn't really shocked to find that they are somewhat similar to a session of good sex. After all, from where I've seen it, a girl's reaction to chocolate are deadly similar to good sex. Grunts and moans included. What they aren't focusing on, however, and this is where I'd like to bring the entire thing about human error, is on the genetic components responsible for the deadly sins. Greed, lying, corruption, the works.
I'd have thought that, given the problems facing our society currently, corruption would rank higher than, say, auto-immune diseases. Or long lives. Frankly, i hardly think for the kind of creatures we've turned out to be immortality really is the answer. Unfortunately, some people are only allowed to live by their fellow men because of the knowledge that they will ultimately be claimed by death on its own volition. More of a waiting game, having patience and all that.
Hopefully, in another twenty years, anti corruption, greed and dishonesty vaccinations would start plying the markets. With added shots for responsibility and loyalty. Some day. I'm all for immortality then.

hahaha !!!!This one is so true! And joey , you never know probably it exists . well, genes do make a great influence in your personality. not just physical appearance do they affect behaviour. some where anger patience etc etc..
May be corruption is in you genes, some people have these genes subsided.some have them dominate their personality.
i think your thought is also being implemented somewhere...mst say you somewhere have the scientific research brain
