That wonderful maternal instinct of the feminine, so necessary in the home to ensure all are provided for, now of significant influence in public office and big business, the domain for so long managed with the ‘don’t complain and get on with it’ masculine instinct, has made way for unprecedented levels of complaint, not only on the part of the neglected, those of genuine grievance, but any who would claim victimhood, the opportunist, those of questionable motive. Combine this with the magnification capability of a social media geared specifically to react to outrage, and you have a factor?


This situation can emerge without anyone necessarily to blame. We evolved within a natural world which for so long demanded the co-operation of highly specialised roles simply so we could survive. Now it appears the restraint has been lifted, though not really. The cost is painfully apparent.


Stay grounded. Maintain skills and smarts. Build co-operative community of value.
