Introduction
There is a duality between desire for harmony and creativity. They are curious and want to be creative. But they live in an old fashioned society which will reject members who are different, who think and behave different. So they will adapt, be nice and fit in with the culture to feel connected and loved.
They have a tendency to give, adapt and please others in order to bring harmony for everyone. They see softness as a prerequisite for development, creativity, art and personal relationships. They are very romantic. Or they stop their development and creativity to feel protected.
They become closed, shutting off, hide away in the countryside.
Sexuality is a big problem, not allowed by the society and culture; it has to become secret or suppressed.
Powerless
The Czech nation is in the heart of Europe, sandwiched between Germany and Russia. In the past part of the Austro-Hungarian empire also. Czechs refer to their country as "The piece of meat in the lion’s mouth". Political freedom is unattainable.
They feel they are in a situation which is dangerous and threatening and that they have no power or influence over the situation and they are at a loss what to do.
