Loved this quote as it explains, rather than complains about the fact! Personally I'd add that the reason you hate this part of yourself i that like a kid it wants attention and you don't want to give it as your mind is on something else and obsessed with that and not this.

"Here's another question I have. How come when it's us, it's an abortion, and when it's a chicken, it's an omelette? Are we so much better than chickens all of a sudden? When did this happen, that we passed chickens in goodness. Name 6 ways we're better than chickens. See, nobody can do it! You know why? ‘Cause chickens are decent people. You don't see chickens hanging around in drug gangs, do you? No, you don't see a chicken strapping some guy into a chair and hooking up his nuts to a car battery, do you?

We seem to have no names for processes like these, though they must be among our most important ways to grow."

--Marvin Minsky, from "The Society of Mind"
