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[The rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate, God made them, high or lowly, and ordered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56949]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate, God made them, high or lowly, and ordered their estate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't compromise yourself, you're all you've got. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5651]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't compromise yourself, you're all you've got.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They succeed, because they think they can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51832]]></link><description><![CDATA[They succeed, because they think they can.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time I'm in the area, I like to pay them a visit and update them on the partnership. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every time I'm in the area, I like to pay them a visit and update them on the partnership.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success.
