Individual vs Common Goals On October 21st, 2008 dalesvp says: posted on DailyPaul This is simple when we know God created the individual while individuals create the group. (The word 'collective' is repugnant to me and many others.) Society prospers when the individual is recognized and honored as superior to any group he/she may be a part. These ones can come together voluntarily to serve a common ideal or aspiration such as building a school for their children or raising a barn for their neighbors. This rugged individualism built America. The nastiness comes in when an individual is taught he/she is nothing but an accident of nature and a near valueless member of a collective or a team. Military groups, sport groups and school groups use uniforms and "politically correct" behaviorisms to homogenize out individualism. This has become the norm in our schools now so "rugged individualism" is but a faint memory. More nastiness develops when a bully psychopath either leads or induces submissive (weak willed) people to their destruction or forces others into aberrant behavior patterns because these people have a poor sense (if any) of their self-worth (individualism). |
