Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so swift as calumny, nothing is more easily propagated, nothing more readily credited, nothing more widely circulated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is so swift as calumny, nothing is more easily propagated, nothing more readily credited, nothing more widely circulated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27267]]></link><description><![CDATA[A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no grief like the grief that does not speak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18363]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone was encouraging to each other, ...
