The underlying demands of social interaction, which exist in all our societies, vary somewhat, but the basic ones are always the following: “To pull one’s weight and do your bit for the cause.” Not too much to ask for if you are healthy.
Another more demanding demand has been to make a name for yourself, which is good if it is constructive also for the good of others; to achieve something higher of an imagined lasting value than just fulfilling your own, or your family’s, basic needs. We can see it as a kind of “superstructure” to just doing what is right for yourself.
REPUTATION
The sought-after status of fame can unfortunately become quite distorted in today’s sloppy lack of morality: The outcast and weak assert themselves with “air” out on the street in society, or on TV or the Internet with some less talented nonsense. The very driving force in doing something more based on the idea that; “Something must happen.”, is easily recognizable to most people. This happens when there is not enough inside to work with and something has to be achieved in the external life to “exist”, laziness and disinterest in working are at the root as coercion is never fun if you can’t handle that like an adult. The rest of us who watch are extras in a kind of film for the “perpetrators” which for the bored is similar to taking a trip somewhere which gives the illusion that you are achieving something of value, that you are moving forward and upward, existing in an imagined larger context and thus confirming your existence. Existence without achieving is in the long run an art form we would all like to see leave room for more constructive and rewarding solutions.
RELEVANT
We would like to be “relevant”. Some, like the undersigned who is a big exception in most cases, do not want to exist at all and be relevant down in the frighteningly irrelevant society which still prevails for some time. But, most are forced to act as if they are trying to be relevant in some way at least, with a “progression” which is always in a constant imaginary improvement…; with a healthy or unhealthy confirmation as a reward. The killing of our inner innocence in favor of a maturity does not have to be a necessary choice to make. The core of us will for many always continue to be “soft” and curiously clean. This inner-outer in our lives can be seen in a coming cleansed world so that we can all understand ourselves.
An emotional choice is made before looking at strong efficiency and matter in many cases, be it in politics as well as in everyday personal relationships. All our social relationships have a good or negative thought influence, a kind of learned prejudice from what is said to be right or wrong in opinions and behaviors. The immature don’t listen to anything else and don’t want to learn if they can’t draw their own egocentric experiences and conclusions from this, which of course becomes very skewed and limited to being able to draw any major conclusions from, but not everyone is meant to work with statistics or writing…

Too much room is given to misleading errors in the guise that “freedom of thought without knowledge” is good in the so-called “democracy” which now prevails over society, but it is more narrow in the Reality above where more precise truth claims to existence apply if you are now to survive to The New Time.
