Individualism

Individualism.



I remember growing up. I’m sure you do as well, either that or your still growing up… I guess I’m still growing up as well

I remember when everyone started saying “I want to be an individual”. It probably wasn’t the first time in history that people were saying that. People started trying to “be themselves” to be different from everyone. The more I think about that the more I think that we are so wrong… it’s a waste of energy. I think that it is a selfish way of thinking.

Let me explain… the more we think “I” and “me”, the more we focus on ourselves, the more we try to be individual the more we set ourselves apart from everyone else. It can be isolating. We are already individuals. I think it’s time we stopped thinking “individual” and started thinking “community”.

Instead of thinking “how can I be different” we need to start thinking “how can I make a difference in the lives around me”

Seems like a better use of time to me! Anyway… “Just a thought” (as I recall someone in my past used to say quite a bit.)
