I noticed early on in life that people with similar interests gravitate towards one another. After some time interacting with multiple diverse groups of people I understood that what is acceptable complies with their beliefs and interests. During this time I was also getting educated in an elementary course in what would latter become known as hierarchy. I saw that within these groups there was a numerator and a denominator, either singularly or collectively. It was apparent that the denominator(s) directed the flow of attention. It seemed that the ones who fell under the numerator were most impressionable to the denominating factor.
In all cultures and subcultures there is always the one(s) who are gifted with a magnetic quality. This magnetism allures the curious, gravitating them inward.
People are very fascinating. We all seem to be enticed or intrigued by the beauty that humans bestow. But when all we have to offer is a tray of rotting fruit, what else can we expect but sickness?
It’s the captivating characteristics that “THEY” can use like the meat that is dangled before the trap to persuade the naďve. Drawing in the wide eyed with striking charisma or with the fear of rejection.
In situations dealing with “THEY,” charisma and the “fear of” are closely related, if not one in the same. When the two are one, then the “fear of” is hard to see in one's self because of voluntary interest. If charisma is taken away, then authority is immediately elected to take its place. The authority is compelling you to do “it”, be a part of “it”, or accept “it” for the fear of punishment.
