Mike, what a great post. I completely agree with you...I think that it is out longing to connect with people...our need for acceptance and our fear of rejection and lonliness that drive people to seek ways to impress. Most actions people take to attempt to garner validation and appreciation distract them from connections and, in fact, prevent any depth of relationship from emerging. I LOVED that the list of 50 things began with the idea of living an authentic life. Authenticity is so powerful and transfiguring. And I think is becoming so lost in our world where social scripts have become so powerful. Thanks for posting a great link!
