Me - the judge and jury

Heresy

Some of us seek permission, others hand out permission. We can make people do all kinds of things by giving them permission. We follow social cues. We copy. We are reluctant to be the odd person out. We stick to convention until we are given permission to deviate. I decided that I would dance both left-handed and right-handed when everyone else stuck to right-handed only. I would also dance moves inverted. I would do the moves as if the follower were leading. To get others to try this I had to find a way of giving them permission to do it. If they feel that they are allowed, then they will push the boundaries. It takes bravery to be the one to try something different and then to encourage others to break ranks with the norm. You need to be tough and determined as people will frown upon change and object. For a while that is, until you are proven right or wrong. You can be the one that gives permission to break out from what most believe is right and proper.
