Approval Through Disapproval

​One way or another, we seem to have all come from one kind of model of disapproval or another -- generational, social, cultural, ethnic, even spiritual.  We have been so immersed in them that we can hardly stop our own selves from perpetuating them, because it is not only the lens through which we have been conditioned to see others, but also the one through which we see ourselves.

Perhaps, we are emerging from this mentality of control. Compensating for it, we can feel the collective swing around us to a model of hyper-approval.

What is it that we are really looking for...in either model?
