27. You're an Investor, a human driven by a need to help, you have Reciprocity!
Mon Sep 1, 2014, 10:30 PM
Sep 2014

the drive to invest in humans without knowledge of any return, is a basic part of us. Everything we do is an investment, we call it caring, or giving or 'being good', it really is our investing nature shining thru. But those who lack this ability don't speak its language or see little value in investing in humans, they see it as a waste. Those whose brains never developed complex human abilities can easily be 'turned', there is no inner compass. They are vulnerable to the manipulation of the Limbaughs and O'Reillys and Hannity's of the world and every right wing crank hungry for a new way not to care. These aren't conservatives, they are something else entirely. Keep on truckin!
