just a reply . i didnt say i pity graduates, only graduates who graduated at the expense of others' feelings. yes i saw a few and was actually convinced that they gave a crap until a few weeks after they graduated they went back to the streets or whatever dark alley they came from. truly a philosophy of "act as if. . ." is complete bull! i failed at elan because i wouldnt scream and cuss in encounter groups. im just not an angry person, still to this day i transform anger into forgiveness and try to understand why people act the way they do, not blindly lashing out and degrading and humiliating others.so what i say stands. i think it is quite shameful to assume material or social gain at the expense of others. elan just contributes to the evils of society as we know it today. based not on values but apearrance. that place is no better than a sweatshop! in fact i think it is potentially very psychologically damaging, especially to someone who might already be prone to violent or abusive behavior.
peace unto you
