		<description>Just today i&#039;ve decide to sign off from a newsletter related to a well known defragmenting software.

I&#039;ve come to this because their NL sends you weekly the same message, (although in different ways): BUY! BUY! BUY OUR AWESOME, UNIQUE, PRODUCT!!! BIG DISCOUNTS FOR THIS WEEK! (every week is the same, different words, same concept..) 

Ok, i choose to unsubscribe, and the automated email system sends you a confirmation:

Unsubscribe From Our Mailings    	
We have unsubscribed frik@&quot;xxxxxxxx.org.&quot;
Please allow up to 10 days for us to update our records. Customers will continue to receive transactional email, such as receipts. You may re-subscribe to our mailing list at any time.

Ok, then.. why the system needs up to 10 days to sign me off, and in the other hand if i register to the NL, they don&#039;t wait 10 days to send me invitations to BUY?

Maybe i&#039;m a little paranoid, these are my 5 cents.

Feel free to criticize my EN, that is not my first language :-)</description>

		<description>I love the second quote, but I am wary of the thinking prevalent in the first. It&#039;s something I&#039;ve been tackling with for years, but Jung sums it up nicely:

&lt;i&gt;Where love reigns there is no will to power; and where the will to power is paramount, love is lacking. The one is but the shadow of the other.&lt;/i&gt;

True independence is synonymous with the will to power, imho. Communities rise around passions, and I believe that dependency — if we&#039;re to use that term — is necessary, but in a complimentary way?

Though I firmly believe we can transcend the needs of everyday life through processes available to us by turning inward, the experience of the community and culture/arts depend on interdependency.

What I enjoy about your work here is the focus on choice. Too many communities and cultures are built on what I refer to as the lowest cultural denominator. Or as Daniel Goleman said:

&lt;i&gt;The range of what we think and do
is limited by what we fail to notice.
And because we fail to notice
&lt;/i&gt;that&lt;i&gt; we fail to notice
there is little we can do
to change
until we notice
how failing to notice
shapes our thoughts and deeds.&lt;/i&gt;</description>
