Of course, you are also reviled by the Outsiders, but it s ever so easy to shut the door and go on with your important deliberations, pretending that you are wise. Insiders have the privilege of going with the flow because they ve made the rules according to what they feel most comfortable with. Compliance and conformity feel natural. The rule was no rules. I was comfortable.
Outsiders are romantic and dangerous.
But to be fair, the quiet tragedy of Insiders is that they must take responsibility. Either way, they can t foist it off on someone else. Their responsibility is to make the rules. This goes for Insiders of all stripes, all ages. What really annoys me are Insiders complete with the right titles, sitting at the top of the pyramid who still act like Outsiders and still look for who to blame that their world is screwed up, that the rules are all confusing and full of double-binds.
