Centrality-Environment

Adapt youself to the environment in which your lot has been cast, and show true love to the fellow-mortals with whom destiny has surrounded you. (Marcus Aurelius)

Never have people been more the masters of their environment. Yet never has a people felt more deceived and disappointed. For never has a people expected so much more than the world could offer. (Boorstin)

Infinitely often it is clear that we appreciate, even respect - not a multitude - but ten people gathered in a room, each of whom, taken by himself, we consider of no account. (Leopardi)
