They are not rebels, but they do make their own choices even if those choices conflict with what everybody else does. They can ignore petty rules if they make no sense, and quietly shrug at the little conventions that are such an important part of so many lives. They\u2019re not cocktail partiers, nor do they engage in small talk because it\u2019s the polite thing to do. They are their own people and while they see society as an important part of their lives, they refuse to be ruled by it or to become a slave to it. They don\u2019t rebelliously attack but they do know internally when to ignore and function in a clear-headed and sensible way. They know how to laugh, and how to create laughter. They find humor in virtually all situations, and they can laugh at the most absurd as well as the most solemn of occasions. They love to help others to laugh, and they are facile at creating humor. These are not serious, ponderous folks who plow through life with a stony grimness. Instead, they are doers, who are often scorned for being frivolous at the wrong time. They do not have good timing for they know that there is really no such thing as the right thing in the right place. They love the incongruous, yet they are unhostile in their humor; never, but never using ridicule to create laughter. They don\u2019t laugh at people, they laugh with them. They do laugh at life, and they see the whole thing as fun, even though they are deliberate in their own pursuits. When they step back and look at life, they know that they aren\u2019t going any place in particular, and they are able to enjoy and create an atmosphere in which others can choose joy for themselves. They are fun to have around.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These are people who accept themselves without complaint. They know that they are human beings, and that being so involves certain human attributes. They know that they look a certain way, and they accept it. If they\u2019re tall, that\u2019s okay, but so is being short. Bald is fine, and so is lots of hair. They can live with sweat! They are not phony about their physical humanity. They\u2019ve accepted themselves, and therefore they are the mostnatural of people. No hiding behind artificialities, no apologizing for what they are. They don\u2019t know how to be offended by anything that is human. They like themselves and accept what they are. Similarly, they accept all of nature for what it is, rather than wishing it were otherwise. They never complain about things that won\u2019t change, such as heat waves, rainstorms, or cold water. They accept themselves and the world as it is. No pretenses, no groaning, simply acceptance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Follow them around for years, and you\u2019ll never hear selfdeprecation or wishing. You\u2019ll see doers doing. You\u2019ll see them observing the world the way it is, like a child who accepts the natural world and enjoys it for all it\u2019s worth. They appreciate the natural world. They love being outdoors in nature, and tripping around in all that is unspoiled and original. They especially love things like mountains, sunsets, rivers, flowers, trees, animals and virtually all flora and fauna. They are naturalists as people, unceremonious and unpretentious, and they love the naturalness of the universe. They are not busy seeking out taverns, night clubs, parties, conventions, smoke-filled rooms, and the like, although they are certainly capable of enjoying such activities to the fullest.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They are at peace with nature, God\u2019s world, if you will, though they are capable of functioning in a man-made world. They are also capable of appreciating what has become stale for others. They never tire of a sunset or a trip in the woods. A bird in flight is a magnificent sight over and over again. A caterpillar never grows tiresome, nor does a cat giving birth to kittens. Over and over again they spontaneously appreciate. Some may find this artificial, but these people don\u2019t notice what others think. They are too busy in awe of the vastness of possibilities for present-moment fulfillment. They have insight into the behavior of others, and what may seem complex and indecipherable to others, they see as clear and understandable. The problems that immobilize so many others are often viewed as only minor annoyances by these people. This lack of emotional involvement in problems makes them able to surmount barriers that remain insurmountable to others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They have insight into themselves too, and they recognize immediately what others are attempting to do to them. They can shrug and ignore while others are angered and immobilized.<br \/>\nThey are never perplexed or stumped and what may seem to be confusing or insoluble to most others is often viewed by them as a simple condition with a ready resolution. They are not focused on problems in their emotional world. For these people a problem is really only an obstacle to be overcome rather than a reflection of what they are or aren\u2019t as a person. Their self-worth is located within, and therefore any external concerns can be viewed objectively, rather than as in any way a threat to their value. This is a most difficult trait to understand, since most people are easily threatened by external events, ideas, or people. But healthy, independent people do not know how to be threatened, and this very characteristic may make them threatening to others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Part A&#8217;: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lecturesbureau.gr\/1\/portrait-of-a-beautiful-person-part-a\/?lang=en\">http:\/\/www.lecturesbureau.gr\/1\/portrait-of-a-beautiful-person-part-a\/?lang=en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Part C&#8217;:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lecturesbureau.gr\/1\/the-portrait-of-a-beautiful-person-part-c\/?lang=en\"> http:\/\/www.lecturesbureau.gr\/1\/the-portrait-of-a-beautiful-person-part-c\/?lang=en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Part D&#8217;:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lecturesbureau.gr\/1\/portrait-of-a-beautiful-person-part-d\/?lang=en\">http:\/\/www.lecturesbureau.gr\/1\/portrait-of-a-beautiful-person-part-d\/?lang=en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>YOUR ERRONEOUS ZONES<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>WAYNE W.
