What makes up a culture?
Good spirited and bad spirited people make up a culture. Course the culture is a more redeeming one when more folks are good-spirited and vice versa. Hard to change a culture though, that kind of happens within. I tend to think bad actors have more impact than good ones.

"AMEN!" to that, Richard! It is not merely diffi"cult" though... Hell No!!! IT IS "IMPOSSIBLE!" to accomplish anything "civilized" without that "thing" we call civility. Instead of focusing so much of our attention upon the "physical" battles we should expend a bit more of our energies toward resolving those internal/eternal struggles.

Civility is the essence of civilization. It's difficult to have one without the other.

Culture is cultivated by culling out certain aspects of being. The "culled out" ones become the occultic portion, unmentionable/unspeakable... "powerless". And this is made to be so by the "Cult" leaders for the glory of a Culture. The foundational basis for any and all cultures is the powerful underlying occultic nature that has been subdued/imprisoned for this "breaking-away" to have taken place. The problem with this situation is the inability of a culture's leaders to bow their heads back to the place from whence they come and begin again the whole process of "cultivation" afresh and anew. This process would allow "several" cultivations to appear, all of them suitable/acceptable for "goodness" as "a way" of being. Much akin to the concepts of earth wind and fire and water. All and each of these allow for motion to take place in and of their individual ways of "doing it"(justifying motion/movement... ie "Life") But destiny predicates that those lovers of fire will hate lovers of water... and visa-versa. Hense... all "movemeants"... cultivate "culture". And all "cults", while loved by their cultivators, are very much feared by their "occultic" brothers.

I guess it's the age old question of good vs evil. There's plenty of both in our society but it does seem like negativity has bigger repercussions than positivity. It could be said that Lee Harvey Oswald changed the course of history with two or three bullets. But there are people who work tirelessly everyday for years to make life better but their actions are not recognized as such. Evil is boastful and gets a lot of attention. Good is humble and works behind the scenes. The best book I ever read about good vs evil is "On God" An Uncommon Conversation. It's not a book about an actual god or religion. It's an interview with Normal Mailer that is mind blowing and a metaphorical look at existential questions about life. (www.penguinrandomhouse.com) If you read it you won't be disappointed.
