The #Aztec capital of #Tenochtitlán (today beneath Mexico City) on the western shore of Lake Texcoco flourished so that the city could boast at least 200,000 inhabitants by the early 16th century, making it the largest city in the Pre-Columbian #Americas. These inhabitants were divided into several social strata. At the top were local rulers (teteuhctin), then came nobles (pipiltin), commoners (macehualtin), serfs (mayeque), and finally slaves (tlacohtin). The strata seem to have been relatively fixed but there is some evidence of movement between them, especially in the lower classes.

Are you a rescuer?
.
Caroline Myss addresses how this particular archetype requires refinement
.
The question is: when to assist someone and when not to?
.
It takes discernement to see when to help and when it's the rescuee's life style you can't help
.
Basically: resist the urge to do things for people, instead, help them become autonomous, help them learn the skills they need to learn to do what they need to do
.
Don't make other people's problems your problems
.
The dark side of rescuing can be a way to create an intimate emotional bond
.
That just create dependency
