<p class="MsoNormal">I am reading at the moment the German translation of "The Museum of Abandoned Secrets" from the Ukrainian writer Oksana Zabuzhko. It is a long novel about the history of Ukraine. She writes sentences as long as pages where one metaphor
follows the next like pearls on a necklace of beads.<br>
<br>
One of these metaphors made me think if we can describe emotions as a "driving assistant" for the vehicles created by our selfish genes. A driving assistant shaped by million years of evolution which wakes up in the right moments and guides us in the right
direction (whenever it is supper- or pairing time). If we select the right direction, then it rewards us by a boost of energy or fuel.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Does it make sense to extend Dawkins' metaphor like this? Our BMW 330E has for example a system that warns the driver if he comes to close to the edge of the lane. Then the wheel starts to vibrate. <u></u><u></u></p>
