astryfernandy hi tiina05, how are you? sorry for the late reply. Yeah, it's their culture, we should really respect it. It is shocking, but take it as an external information, to wider our knowledge.

astryfernandy Hi there, yeah me too. I would never imagine myself get married to one of my own cousin. oh my God it's just too weird for me, but it happens anyway. so just let this be an extra knowledge for us, that weird things do happen around us.

astryfernandy Hi sender621, from what I know, in certain cultures that allow related blood marriage, children are taught to see their cousin not as cousin, but more like a friend or a husband to be. They are taught to think of their cousin like that, so later on it won't...

astryfernandy Yeah, I agree with you, apart from the risk of genetic diseases to the children, it would be really weird to be married to our own cousin, even when we don't grow up together, i would still feel weird to think that my husband is also my cousin..

astryfernandy Yes, I suppose you are very right about it. We learned about it during junior and senior high school rite? (in Biology. Well, it's a tradition and they still keep their tradition strong in their community.

astryfernandy Hi there,.. Well I am not quite sure about it. I also think about that issue? but in their cultures it's not a problem to them i think. Apart from that, I am also not sure what is the reason behind that practice?

astryfernandy Hi taski24,... not all that keep his mouth shut is wise. sometimes they just do not care at all. and not all talkers speak up bad things. some of them are just happy to share their experiences. the only problem is sometimes they talk too much..:)

astryfernandy Hi Iklananda... Well off course none of it is very bad or very good. everything comes with its own negative and positive. to keep it balance is the good way, but the problem is, it's not easy to be both and balance.

astryfernandy Thanks lingli_78. Simple answer but nice one! being a listener is much harder, you need the patience to actually really listening to someone, especially when you feel that the problems he/she talks about is nonsense.
