Oriana Fallaci motivation
Though Fallaci appears very tolerant, forgiving, and universal in her sympathies, as described in the previous chapter - she can also be very self-protective and clannish at times, as discussed below.
Oriana has powerful emotional attachments to the past, her family, her childhood, places she associates with safety and security, and her beginnings. It is very important to Fallaci to maintain a connection with her roots and heritage and keep family bonds strong. Loyal, devoted, and sentimental, Fallaci tends to cling to whatever is dear to her - be it a person, a familiar place, or a cherished possession.
She is sympathetic, nurturing, supportive and very sensitive to the emotional needs of other people. Oriana likes to be needed and to care for others, and she often worries about the people she loves. Oriana Fallaci has a very strong need for a sense of belonging and acceptance, and much of her life centers on her home. She is more concerned about people and their feelings than with power, achievement, or position in society. Kindness, consideration and tenderness are more meaningful to Oriana Fallaci than any sort of honor the world can bestow.
She is primarily emotional and her views are often dominated by her feelings and her own personal, subjective experiences, rather than reason, logic or abstract principles. It is difficult for her to judge situations fairly and objectively because her personal sympathies and loyalties usually factor in. Oriana Fallaci takes things very personally and sometimes builds a wall around herself to shield herself from pain and rejection. Oriana Fallaci feels rather shy and vulnerable at heart. She also tends to be moody and experiences frequent mood swings. Oriana Fallaci needs to have a place and time in her life to withdraw, introspect, dream and replenish herself; otherwise Oriana Fallaci becomes cranky and unhappy with those around her.
Oriana Fallaci functions in an instinctive, irrational manner and likes to immerse herself in creative activities where she can express her feelings, imagination and instincts. Fallaci often loves to cook, since it can be both creative and a way to nurture and nourish others. Oriana Fallaci also has a great affinity for music, because it evokes and communicates feelings that may be difficult or impossible to put into words.
Her compassion, sensitivity, and imagination are Fallaci's strong points. Her faults include an inability to let go of the past and move forward, clannishness and prejudice, and a tendency for self-pity when facing hardship.
She is a private person and inclined to withdraw in very public and impersonal social settings. Oriana Fallaci prefers to work at home or in a very personal small business.
Fallaci invests a lot of her creative energy into her home, family relationships, and inner life.
Oriana Fallaci often feels that she is at cross purposes with herself, for her conscious intentions and desires conflict with her subconscious emotional needs and drives. She is torn in two different directions. Oriana has difficulty satisfying both her need to be an individual and her need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. Moreover, Oriana sends out mixed messages so people do not always know how to respond to her or what Oriana really wants, thereby creating confusion or conflict in close relationships.
Impulsive, restless and spontaneous, her life is apt to be somewhat unstable and full of sudden changes. Oriana Fallaci is extremely independent and craves excitement, adventure, freedom and discovery. Fallaci has a rebellious streak and she often feels she is unusual and different from society's mainstream. The unorthodox and the novel appeal to her.
Oriana Fallaci has a basic need to fit in with others and is always willing to cooperate. She enjoys working with others as a team and is a well liked comrade.
