Guest guest Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hi Anna, Yes, I agree, there is definitely a " culture " or a " psyche " in every group. And because we are social creatures with a high need for safety and connection with others, we are all subject to influence in and by the group, or others in it. Still, we remain distinct as well, and we do have far more choice about how we experience life than most of us realize. We have been taught to ask others what to do, how to dress, etc. One could create a long list. And one can also step off the list, if one truly wishes to do so. When I think about the magnitude of the " stepping off the list " that eating a RF diet entails, then I feel a great sense of appreciation and respect for each and every person who does so, regardless of the details, timeframe, etc. Best to all, Elchanan _____ rawfood [rawfood ] On Behalf Of Anna Bishop Friday, June 01, 2007 5:44 PM rawfood Re: [Raw Food] Re: After Harassment From One Member I have Decided to leave this Group hhmm..i dunno..i a'int no shrink...but in my line of work group behavior is unvariably bad. every single bad quality that one person can express is exacerbated when in a group setting. your choice of that as a decription for what happened here is not flattering... but if the shoe fits...who am i to say youre wrong? peace anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 youre right....we are all individual thinkers...we have left the fold of the group in a big way by eating this way...that we should lump any or all of us into a group mentality is rather comedic... peace anna On 6/1/07, Elchanan <Elchanan wrote: > > Hi Anna, > > Yes, I agree, there is definitely a " culture " or a " psyche " in every > group. > And because we are social creatures with a high need for safety and > connection with others, we are all subject to influence in and by the > group, > or others in it. > > Still, we remain distinct as well, and we do have far more choice about > how > we experience life than most of us realize.
