As being a self-conscious act that is so important to men as participants in their own particular male-orientated primate society, men must constantly strive to “play ball” with one another, just so as to be seen as being “just one of the lads.”
If you always ask for the opinions on your actions and difficulties of those closest to you, then you can’t go far wrong in their company, although you might not much like what they’re saying about you.
If you ask someone who is clearly looking at you askance why he is doing it, he’ll never tell you. However, he might tell you something else easily enough.
One ordinary, everyday event that goes most unnoticed in everyday life is the complete interference of other people around you in your everyday life.
People will usually seek to advance their own interests any way they can. As to do this they need the esteem and support provided by other people around them then they will cultivate this with others of like mind to themselves. However, they might like to exclude you for a start.
When partaking in casual conversation it is important not only to know what the other person is thinking about you, but why he is thinking it; thus in this way you may actually come to comprehend exactly how to circumvent his wishes in relation to you, before they come to affect you in the manner he wishes.
If, in a new social environment, you tend to be quite reserved and quiet around people, then there are those around you there who will attack you if there you don’t show the correct submissive code, or, possibly if you don’t show the correct dominance code either.
If in the unlikely event that in your life you do nothing but fail, people who you considered were close to you will gladly sit around and prod you with their forefingers, just to gauge your reactions to continual failure.
As individual human beings following our own destinies we can all ruin ourselves in a second’s miss-thought; so, while we’re about it let’s step lively there for the mildly esoteric (if not also highly erotic) dance of “the constantly evolving, all-walking all-talking monkey.”
To realize your mistakes in time to do something about them, you must first learn to recognize one when you’re making it.
About Me
- Drew Byrne
- Basically, I am someone interested in quotations, those mainly being of an aphoristic form; consequently, I have collected many examples together over the years, ones which I most liked, warmed to, or appreciated. Although most of these I cannot really now recall without looking them up, and so I supppose are not of much use except as written ornaments to an inefficient memory, but so it goes. I am interested in archaeology, history, and antiques, although not as much as I once was. Philosophy, also, has interested me from time to time, although I never learned much about it. It has been said (although certainly not by me) that “in time, most men become philosophers, although not particularly good ones.” I can say without much hesitation that that I am one of these fellows.
