201212 What I learned in my studies this morning
Tao for today:
From Eric Hoffer, Identification With A Collective Whole:
A mental / psychological / spiritual connection to a group or community allows for a much more robust resistance to intimidation / torture by others.
Want to break someone? Convince them they are individual first. That they have no strength outside themselves. There is no connection to a continuous, undying whole.
(The True Believer, XII-45)
