It is called community, and you can neither stand against it nor exist without
it. To achieve freedom, you must balance individual concerns with social
concerns, else you are a slave to yourself or a slave to others.

I don't need to elaborate on these stories, as they exist. However, it is
impossible to comment upon insights without it seeming like condescension.
There very fact that "I see" something they don't implies a superior position
on my part. However, the compensitory effort is to allow others to have
insight into yourself and to allow yourself to be taught be others. Ie. The
craftsman teaches me about precision while I teach him about relationships. We
are simulataneously taking superior and inferior positions relative to each
other and by this acheive a mutual respect.

The more cynical you become the more a slave of yourself you become. You
should destroy the fortress you have built.
