Habits

Repeated action of the same stimulus produces the habit of reacting to the stimulus while the habit itself creates a need of stimulation caused by the absence of the mimico-somatic reaction. A mimico-somatic reaction is a reflex that you get when someone directs stimuli that produce a beneficial effect upon you while you could also give yourself the effect without the need for them.
You didn't have to manifest that speech reaction.
I am salivating at this conversation....
Assume a virtue, if you have it not.
That monster, custom, who all sense doth eat,
Of habits devil, is angel yet in this,
That to the use of actions fair and good 160
He likewise gives a frock or livery,
That aptly is put on. Refrain to-night,
And that shall lend a kind of easiness
To the next abstinence: the next more easy;
For use almost can change the stamp of nature,
And either ... the devil, or throw him out
With wondrous potency.
"You didn't have to manifest that speech reaction."

Determinism, biatch! ;3

A man wiser than me once proclaimed
that women shouldn't be ashamed
because bouncy tits and peachy asses
are only natural assets of all lasses.

My virtue says "overcome your habits", for what is most virtuous is whatever's the hardest to do.
