Lulu,
This world we live in has many problems, but no where near all of them can be put at the feet of negative polarity. There is catalyst and there is harmony, these are dual impulses in the universe that create the cosmic dance. I am catalyst, you are harmony. We are different, but intricate parts of the whole. I find this world to be mad, irrational, lazy, complacent, and blind....to name but a few of the adjectives I would use to describe it. I could give a point by point policy analysis of the problems I perceive and how they should be addressed from a negatively polarized perspective, but I believe that would be somewhat outside the scope of this site. Needless to say, I look around me with as much dismay and dejection as any wanderer who remembers a better way.The scenarios you describe all remind me of a positive society gone awry rather than the byproducts of a negative society. Sacrifice for the "greater good" of the society as a whole is a more common trait amongst the positively oriented societies than negative ones, who are more inclined towards what might be called sacrifice for the higher truth.
In my religious devotions I am both my alter and Godhead. I used the word "religion" to signify an act done with sacred intent, but the god I pay homage to is myself and the Creator who is all things. This is a pantheist view of God - I am God, you are God - all things are God. I spent many introspective years studying myself, in every nuance and half felt impulse. I know every dark corner of my soul, both its strengths and weaknesses, and have accepted them fully. If I show impatience when you apply pop psychology and categorical assumptions about human nature to glimpses of my unobserved life, it is because I have spent every waking moment of every day of my existence carefully dissecting myself to determined the root of my motivations, desires, and impulses. Having had the advantage of a lifelong front row view of my life, I find little utility in the vague impressions gleaned by others.
I also dissect others, though it is somewhat akin to dissecting a tape worm. Though I typically keep these impressions to myself, the insights I gain have proven quite advantageous in my professional life. Most wear their weakness, fears, and entire history on their face, tone, and word selection.
My mask remains tightly held, and grows ever more elaborate and respectable. It is only here and with my mate that I express any semblance of my true self. It would be counterproductive to exhibit my true self in every moment of every mundane day. I simplify my nature and create a pleasing caricature, which I continually refine to serve my various objectives. Yet even though I wear many masks and play many parts, I remain ruthlessly honest with myself. Self-deception is never productive.
