My parents used to hit me.
I would not hit back, not even when I was bigger than my mom.
I guess I've always been running away from that kind of situation.


Are you sure tempers are not really genetic?
I dunno, there are things that seem to run in a family so deep that it's hard to believe it's not genetic!

This is so sad... for you both ;_;

I can't say I've had anything of the kind with my parents, mom slapped me like once when I was five and we cried so much together that it never happened again. We just talked things out and it usually was enough, probably because I was the "good kid" type who wanted nothing more than to please the adults, so I'd behave naturally well lol

But temper, I think, is also a zodiacal thing XD I'm a Saggitarius and we're not known for our patience haha. I have my dad's loud mouth too though, when we have something to say we throw it out, no filter or sugar-coating X'D

Well, that was how education was in the old times.
As much as I don't like it, I also try to not be judgemental.
It's always unfair trying to judge the past with current views. My parents did as well as they could, all things considered.


The Latin things, I don't know, I think it's just that we are all used that we are like that.
We are more inclined to say "Oh, well, that's because I'm Latina" and not care about being loud or having a temper. It's our perfect excuse xD

I don't believe in Astrology.

I think that the time of the year in which a person is born may affect to their personality, yes.
Because if your first months of life are so important to your development, being born in summer or in winter must make such a difference. The time you spend outside, the way your family socializes, it all changes with the weather.
But all that kind of stuff (weather, social customs, etc.) is quite local. so you really can't build a worldwide personality theory based on it.


And anyway most of it is just made-up stuff, worded in a fashion that sounds so relatable that pretty much anyone who reads it can believe it talks about them.

I don't believe anything is possible.
Because belief is not what makes things happen.
A person can't fly, no matter how strongly they believe it. They jump from their window, they're gonna have a very bad flight.

But.
Scientific proof is only a way for humans to understand how something happens. Not being able to prove them does not mean they are not true.
There are things science can prove, there are things science can disprove, but there are way more things that science can neither prove nor disprove - that's the beauty of it.
So there is plenty of room in the world for things we can't (and will never) understand!

The human mind, for example, is quite mysterious.
We probably know much more than we think we do, we just don't understand how we process some of the information but we reach to some conclusions because our brain has been working on the background.
Some people are so good at this that it becomes a sort of sixth sense.
There is nothing magical about it, but it's still impressive!
