You are not an individual. When I force my “message” down into a sentence, that’s what it is. I used to be an “individualist”. Which meant that I was annoyed by the pressures and generalizations assumed on me as a “collective”. I hated being clumped. It never felt right to be categorized by my race or my gender. Being clumped by my age is something I allowed because I guess that is the dimension I do feel closest to you in. We have been subjected to the same blast of technology and through that, I really can relate.
Powerful perspective and one that resonates deeply as I’ve been thinking about obstacles to solidarity and resilient communities. Shared with my FB and LInkedIn network. Thanks for sharing.
thank you, Alex. your message was timely and reminded me of how damaging the lone wolf mentality is to the collective. humans really do need each other and life feels so much more complete when we not only see ourselves, but act in accordance as such.
I love this perspective. Life is all about connection... to self, to others, to nature and our environments. It's really insane how isolating technology has made our social connections when the whole point of social media was meant to keep us connected. If we focused and moved as a collective, we would get a lot further, faster. Definitely sharing this!
