ONE

One of the primary concerns in a person's life is to find out the Primary concern itself.
Everything else and figuratively speaking 99.999% of stuff that you talk about or do is directed to hide from the above question. The primary reason for such entropy in personal choices is due to a higher regard to other's opinion rather than ourselves.
I believe that the main reason why people tend to rely on a fellow mortals opinion is because people like to have any thing other than oneself to blame incase something goes wrong. Kind of a playing safe attitude. One key reason why a person repeatedly fails to reach a reasonably working idea is because they have an urge to fight the problem but not with intentions to reach a concrete conclusion.
People believe that showing resentment is good enough. But we all know that no one care's what you think about a 'situation' people only care what you think about them; I would really like to see a person making friends based on a person's ideas rather than their affinity to self. The idea is to be "friends to a person who has no interest in you". A situation that is visible in organisation of Religion, politics or the lesser controversial ' Celebrity Fan Clubs'. The respect and Love in these situations is unidirectional in nature.
I would regard that as one of the pathognomic sign of a non-pragmatic thinking and deriving a conclusion for an action rather than an option for conversation. The act of complimenting the society should supervine rather simulate substance(people included).
The end outcome is dependent on the way the support system is considered liable to blame if and when the harnesses fail.
