1. it does not - I no longer allow it to
2. by reaching the inner spirit within us all. We only have the power to perceive things ourself. But society covers all aspects of human nature. They make us believe that we need to be perfect and we follow the crowd because we don't want to stand alone...and its not a good feeling. However, I'm getting out of that zone. It is a waste of my time here on Earth, to care what people think. We can maximize our knowledge and happiness by being ourself...then we will learn to teach ourself of what we want to learn instead of ...going to college for a degree to be accepted in society.
3. Read "I Saw Satan Fall Like Lightening," Author's last name is Girrard. You do not have to be "religious" or of any particular denomination to appreciate this anthropologist's view on what he terms as "Mimetic Cycles"in societies. Its about role models, our choices to deal with role models, the pack mentality in a large gathering of people, and such...very interesting read!
