I would describe Tassifoduma as neighborliness; the act of being kind to everyone, regardless of race, creed, or lifestyle. In the book, The Fresco, (put in author's name) uses Tassifoduma to show how the pistach people act, and to show how every last pistach wants to achieve Tassifoduma with their galactic neighbors. That's why the pistach landed on Earth; to find someone to relay their message of peace to the highest authority, that person happened to be Benita. The pistach people want to show earthlings that Tassifoduma is possible, and can be achieved. They couldn't have picked a better person to relay that message than Benita. Benita went through a lot, from dealing with Bert and his drunken stupor, to dealing with her problematic son (add son's name), and through all of it she has remained positive. I would have to say that the pistach looked at these attributes before they decided on a person to relay their message.
Tassifoduma would be the ideal belief for our plagued society. It almost seems that neighborliness is the complete opposite of what is going on in our present day. Racism, ethnic violence, and ignorance are just a few examples of how the society we live in today is not achieving Tassifoduma...
