Ten Things We Know To Be True

In observance of #1, you can see a very therapeutic approach to religion.  Oprah Winfrey and her guest for her life class can be heard to have a similar view to religion.  The view of it's all about the user is somewhat flipped from the view we see in the clip above, but the idea is there that if you focus on the individual first then you can work from there to make the peripheral matters happen effectively.  In this way the individual doesn't get burned out or bogged down from all the crap in the world around them.  In this kind of system it is not about how people can influence me, instead that notion is flipped on its head and can be seen as how can I influence others.  I know the idea is always to be how can I affect others but most of the time it plays out that we run ourselves ragged trying to keep up with others and we even fail at that and wind up flat on our faces without much prospect for happiness.  I like this idea of everything is there to serve you in this world of  rushing to get everywhere at once and it's nice to see that there is something out there that is focused so much on you, the user.  In fact if you wanted to you can see the first thing on the list can be seen as a complement to this idea of putting the self first in this world of technology.  It's a service that puts the user in charge and makes sure that the user comes first.  This idea gets lost on a lot of people, just like the meaning behind that song by Midnight Oil.
