"#1: Apart (the desire for risk free living)"

The desire for freedom from accountability/repercussions from our words and deeds.   Lying, backpeddling, spin, hedging, the “it’s not my fault” mentality, reluctance to admit culpability, etc.   

A skunk lives in a bubble of his own creation, destined to wallow in his own stink and to be forever separated from the beautiful world around him.
