Strong race suggestions
Hi
In each new experience we want to do things in new ways; then as the years of our maturity go by, the strong race suggestions all around us gradually get their way. We begin to acquire vested interests (mentally) in the status quo.
--- Does it mean something like: with time all different views around us (views of different people) start to get the upper hand over us and for our own interests we start to accept status quo?

Hi In a neutral way, I think the writer is trying to say that, whatever weird and wonderful experiences we may have when we're young, many of us - sometime in our twenties or thirties - find that we have children. And though we never thought we would, it's actually quite nice. (Lots of people, of course, don't go through that and there's no reason why they should, or should want to) Our writer - and I can only say that it is very dodgy indeed - is trying to say this is evidence that people feel the specific need to recreate their own race.

- Sooner or later, we all want to produce another little person who is the same race as us.
- My race is vaguely Anglo Saxon Celtic Indo European up-against-the-north-western-polar-ice-cap-about-10,000-years-ago If your writer is making out that gave me a "strong suggestion" in my mid-thirties, I think he's plain wrong And if he's saying I sensed that all around me, he's at best confused Seriously, you could say something like 'biological clock' or 'evolutionary pressure' or just 'gene' - but it's a tricky subject Dave
