Hope you won't sway?
When she stops blowing your mind away,
For surely, She has come to stay.

The concept of society denotes a mutual and voluntary aggregation of individuals within a laid down structure, ecosystem and paradigm assuring and encouraging the optimal survival and utility of the inhabitants. Thus laws, cultures, norms and beliefs evolve over generations to safeguard against threats whether they are physical, psychological, social, economical or cultural. For the optimal functioning of such society, the individual must be placed in a hierarchy and above all, his rights and interests must be subservient to the interests of the society.

Pandora opened a jar left in her care containing sickness, death and many other unspecified evils which were then released into the world. Though she hastened to close the container, only one thing was left behind, hope. If one could infer from this myth, surely the lock holding the box of Pandora together was surely shame,  for it was Prometheus loss of shame that allowed him to break the box, thus all forms of evil flowed and bedeviled mankind henceforth. Guy Burgess refers to "guilt mobilization" as the act of forcing people to recognize the contradictions between what they say and what they do. Martin Luther King and other nonviolent civil rights leaders mobilized the white's guilt, when they made clear the discrepancy between white American's deep-ro...
