RE: Changing the Momentum of Our Conditioned Ways
This is the natural tendency and flow of our lives, to go with the flow of society, and not against it, or risk ostracism, shunning and expulsion from social group acceptance.
Not sure if you know anything about the Myers Briggs personality type indicator... There are 8 different brain functions and the momentum you speak of is perpetuated by the large population of people whose primary functions are extroverted feeling, extroverted thinking, and extroverted sensing. These people tend to lack introspection, so it's unlikely they will change. My primary brain function is introverted feeling, which outwardly looks aloof and detached. I am quickly ostracized from every group I meet in person because of this.
Yes, and they need the approval or others and feeling like they are accepted to derive self-worth and value. Luckily for those of us who are introverted, as I am, we can handle being alone better, and enjoy it too. We are less dependent on needing others for our self worth, and are less likely to feel the pressure to conform.
