Help Required - Important Research

1 Conversation

I am researching the causes of seashore stone throwing. I would like your comments on this subject please. Why do male adults and children have an irresistible urge to throw stones into the sea? Is it a symbolic return to the sea from whence we came? Is it a deep primitive test of strength? Is there some religious significance? Is it because there’s nothing better to do? Why do adult females rarely participate? Why do we throw stones at empty soft-drink cans on the beach? Why do we not sit in our gardens and do this? Why do I ask so many stupid questions?
