“We're selfish to some degree, that's not a criticism and it doesn't mean that we are all narcissists. But in any situation our minds naturally evolve to what's in it for me? How does this affect me? Can this benefit me? Can this harm me? Then we might move on from that and have a more altruistic point of view about things but that's almost always our initial response.” MindMeanDoeMightMovingViewsSituationDegreesBenefitsCriticismResponseHarmPoint Of ViewSelfishEvolveInitialsNarcissist Author:Robert Greene

“Law and order is a social service. Crime and the fear which the threat of crime induces can paralyse whole communities, keep lonely and vulnerable elderly people shut up in their homes, scar young lives and raise to cult status the swaggering violent bully who achieves predatory control over the streets. I suspect that there would be more support and less criticism than today's political leaders imagine for a large shift of resources from Social Security benefits to law and order - as long as rhetoric about getting tough on crime was matched by practice.” PeopleLongWholeHomeWould BeTodayLawYoungPoliticalOrderSocialCommunityLeaderPracticeSupportImagineStreetsAchieveSecurityCrimeBenefitsToughResourcesCriticismLonelyRaisesThreatViolentVulnerableSuspectsScarRhetoricShut UpCultBullySocial SecurityElderlyLaw And OrderPolitical LeadersMatchedSocial ServicePredatoryYoung Life Author:Margaret Thatcher
