In response to Pure Rawls posted by spiritalk:
"Without this respect, there is no society anyway."
When we think in terms of the human or global society, our mind can take us on either an indulgent or a spiritual journey. But decisions affecting others creates tensions. And a designated society needs decisions, hopefully all good, hopefully all unanimous. A friction between the process and the program.
To me, I think there is some unrealistic expectations when we over-use 'society'. It's core values remind me of what became non-core promises ie made during an election, OK to be broken.
Call me a cynic, but there is a difference betewen a football team and a football club. What we may think is a society may be a club. An example: The team largely works together building loyalty where a few need or want to excel for the common good. A club member simply turns up to enjoy the facilities because its in the neighbourhood...and complain if the beer is not cold enough.
Meditation is OK. 
Just joking based on a real-life experiment where 'elephants', a deliberately abberant thought, was imposed on us.
