[M.D. Holloway]

Holloway's Axioms of Human Condition - (published under separate cover)

1) People for the most part do not change. Do not expect it because it most likely will not happen.

2) People are most often motivated by self-interests, which also may act as defense mechanism. They may not be well understood by any outsider but the individual has structured them into a personality maze that often they are captive.

3) People rarely take advice rather they formulated rationalizations and rebuttals to cement Axioms #1 and/or #2.

4) Character flaws and "quarks of manner" transcend - just because someone is crazy, dishonest, or disingenuous in one aspect of their lives, do not make the mistake it does not carry over into other aspects - it does.

5) For the majority of comfortable people, food, sleep/escape, sex and warmth are still the most important things in life – behind admiration and acknowledgment. This will be the driving force behind all Axioms.

6) People want to feel important and needed – take that away and they will either do very interesting things to gain that attention or they will withdraw and become very bitter.

7) People want to do good and are not malicious on purpose but their desires and insecurities manifest into greed, fear or apathy.
