How much do extrnal forces impact me

How much do external forces impact me
This is an idea until the 1960s
would be a death suntan
for a regime under attack

today some of us can
self actualise and
look for the Truth
if the most important
fact of leadership
and success is to know
thyself.

Anyone I know from
the preppier today
who follows
this forum
makes me sad
because they
all want to lash down
the people
to make their
version of the perfect steeple
but the history of humankind
is way more rich and diversified
than a king on a cross
printed on every hillside.
