The story is a perfect rendering of the psychology behind wanting to belong to the 'Winning Tribe' even if that means - initially reluctant - giving up all the ideals you stood for.
And it is very recognizable, as many people will know former friends that 'sold their soul' or realize that they too did follow the well-trodden path that almost everyone takes.
The line in the poem of Robert Frost sums it up nicely > “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”
Amy, what will it take for your Whole Foods BFF to see the light? Presumably, people who shop at Whole Foods care about what they put in their bodies in the way of ingredients, but when it comes to whats injected--don't ask;don't tell-- is the operating system.
Once again, a great piece of writing by Amy!
