A healthy part of the spring cleaning is to get rid of all the vertical relationships in your life.
- I don’t ask anyone to follow me on the social networks but I wouldn’t follow anyone who is not following me back. I am interested in the horizontal interaction only not the vertical worship.
- People who have a daddy problem or a mammy problem and seek the vertical transference should stay the heck away. Seek equality.
- The religious obsessions along the vertical axis should be shunned, especially people fixated on hierarchies. Same goes for the gods.
- People who generally define spiritually or knowledge in terms of ups and downs.
- People who have the vertical inferiority complex born of sports analogies and visualize winners and losers.
Seek the horizontal metaphors and people who speak to you not at you.
P.S. The vast number of people I know never changed their ideas for the past 10-20-30 years. They don’t read books containing the new ideas (they don’t read period). All they do is consume information that supports the nonsense they decided to accept 10-20-30 years ago. And so they will go from the virtually dead to the dead for real.

I have a hunch that it’s not about vertical versus horizontal, but about who’s at the top.
