I've noticed the 'biological entity' business earlier. Corporations,
Large organizations and Political parties exhibit the same
characteristic. As in a living body, there is a need for nourishment and
growth. The antibodies are always at work.

Maintaining Income/Money flow replaces food/water. Growth is mandatory.
New cells may be added through procreation or recruitment. Public
relations become the camouflage device of choice and as always, the
inner, not-so-wholesome workings aren't visible to the world at large.
Much like the intestines of a Supermodel.

Survival is at the top of the list. These 'biological' entities will
defend individual 'cells' or 'units' or 'employees' up to a degree. If
the Brain unit realizes that maintaining this defense will cost too
dearly, the member is chewed off and left. A Politician/TV Evangelist
with his leg in a corruption/morality trap is a fine example.

First, the cellular denial stage: "I have done nothing wrong.". Then the
Body attempts defense: "We have to wait for all the facts to be in
before we pass judgment.". Things then rot further and the disreputable
cell is surgically removed and all visible ties severed.

The act of complete remorse, feigned or genuine, may sometimes act as a
healing agent. Exhibiting free flowing tears helps the process.
