As human beings we are each invited to fulfill expectations. We are asked to prove ourselves, to achieve, and we are encouraged in strong allegiances to family, community and culture. We identify with and take pleasure in, or alternatively dissociate ourselves from and dislike, certain people, places, possessions, and later theories, philosophies, even what we call ‘facts'. Thus we form strong (but in the final analysis relinquishable) attachments and aversions.
