“It can be disconcerting when people around us change. Family members and especially parents frequently resist acknowledging transformation in other family members. Depending upon the nature of the personality modification, they might even resent if it a family member changes as any fundamental personality revision by a member of a family alters the group’s identity as well.” ParentsBrothers And SistersFamily RelationshipsFamily MembersFamiliesSelf TransformationSelf IdentityGroup Identification Book:Dead Toad Scrolls Source: Dead Toad Scrolls
“The point is: have you ever noticed how we crush a cockroach without further worry and feel no remorse in spite of being in fact terminating a life? That's it. We do so because we don't identify ourselves with a cockroach. Because it's very diffent from us. [...] Thinking from that side, I suppose some people tend to do the same towards others. I mean, they see from distance those they don't identify with on the spot, do you get me? It's as if the stranger, who doesn't belong to the same group as we do, was seen as an inferior being... Almost a cockroach!” DiscriminationBullyingBiasGroup Identification Book:Em memória Source: Em memória
