Makes for better storytelling, I suppose. Less complicated.<br /><br />A good storyteller can get some complexity in there, nevertheless, using their various means.<br /><br />But my observations over the years have lead me to believe that the great majority of people are not interested in any of that. They have no use for that which is not obvious. The goal is to find something so abstract as to be meaningless, so you can impute to it whatever meaning you want, depending on the situation. Political controversies over the American flag or the national anthem come to mind. Pick a side or get sidelined.<br /><br />I firmly believe that people are like dogs in that they are evolved to run in a pack, although there is always variation among complex individuals in any given species.<br /><br />Balto is dead but there are statues that people can think of as Balto. Thing of it is, he was chained to a sled, same as all the other dogs, with a man holding the reins.<br /><br />There was medicine to deliver.Eric the Fruit Bathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11003976042428037836noreply@blogger.com
