If Culture is as Anthropologists tell us ,'Shared symbols of meaning'....That unite people....then its important that productive ways of celebrating those Shared ,moments need to be found,if a society is going to be held together spiritually .

Its amazing how powerful insecurity is as a force in our lives.Our Ego has 40 different defence mechanisms it seems almost all of them are marshalled when we are insecure.What your most normal ones?.....Do they help or hinder your Relationships ? almost nobody says "I think I will be defensive to-day." We almost never even know when we are insecure.Such is the power of defence mechanisms to keep reality from us.
