Inception

inception: n. beginning.

That is the meaning of inception according to my old faithful Little Oxford Dictionary which I own since I was in my teens.

We went to watch the show of the above title yesterday. The show was about how a group of people trying to plant idea(s) into people's sub-conscious mind when they are asleep. It works like a virus where an idea, be it good or bad, begins in our mind.

I was wondering did God do the same thing in our sub-conscious mind when He created us? Through our genes and DNA? So, can we, as layman, try to plant new ideas to improve or complement whatever ideas that have existed in our genes? Can we do it when our baby is still a mere fetus in us?

If I am demure and feminine, will my baby girl (if she is a girl) be born demure and feminine? If I try to learn and do things that are intelligent, will my baby be intelligent? If I am a tight-a** mom, will my baby be tight-a** too when she is born? If I am hot-tempered, will my baby be a fiery dragon?

After the initial inception through genes and pre-natal stimulations, will the baby be hard-wired to do exactly what has been planted into her? Will we be able to nurture her against what nature has given her? I wonder....

Against all odds, I guess I better behave myself from now onwards, especially since the baby can hear me already. Act demure, control my temper, do all things nice, think all nice thoughts, be more feminine, in case she is a girl....
