It is the Roman Coliseum. Recently,<br> I wrote in a reply that as long as the sheople have their sports and their celebrities and their retirement programs (or something close to that),<br> they remain indifferent.\n\nA suggestion to you,<br> think of Maslow as a circle rather than a pyramid. I'll look if I can dig up the document I wrote years ago. When most people achieve a spiritual and empathic level,<br> they tend to increase their base needs,<br> etc. Success is often measured on how well one can violate Parkinson's Law. Furthermore,<br> a barely surviving individual may well have the weightier matters of being human already done pat.\n\nSelf-identity is usually what one does instead of who he\/she is within his\/her own essence. The skewed view abets the individual's participation in groupthink,<br> which removes that soul from individual status.\n\nSo,<br> of course,<br> you will ruffle feathers and then some as you do not dance the Goosestep. One's influence easily can take a hit when he\/she does not tow the line on Cialdini's Principles of Influence (I'm certainly not knocking the professor,<br> just observing the dynamics.),<br> especially that of *liking*.
