Good points missing.
But isn't it up to the individual? I mean, it's you or me, who makes the choice to assosiate with, or seek out the company of people; people who can be toxic and obnoxious, so why do we want to know people like that? Or when applied to the dating game; why would we (men) want to know a woman who is toxic (in a sense that she puts people down, and revels in her sense of power over men), just because she looks nice.
This is partly what I was trying to get at before; but more and more I judge a woman based on her attitude and how she is with other people, how kind she is, her warmth, and less so on her physical attributes. Though my body still may find her attractive in a purely physical sense, but my mind and spirit, may well be repulsed by her behaviour. An ideal partner for me would satisfy all of me.
Anyway, my question is, why does 'fat boy', stick around his 'friends'?
Also, I agree with your sentiments, that modern life can easily leave us feeling 'diffused', our energies and attention split up in to a thousand streams, and we can easily lose a sense of focus, concentration, power, stillness.
