Choice

We humans have a primary urge to be part of something larger than ourselves: a couple, a tribe, a cause, a mob. It is a survival mechanism that served us well for milleniums. Now, it threatens our survival.

For humans to continue, we must develop our ability to make wise choices: a solitary process.

Wise choices depend on individual learning, insight, moral development; and individual courage. Group dynamics oppose this development by encouraging shallow mental work, quick adoption of the views of others; and fear.

Relationships can be supporting or suffocating. Freedom from relationships is liberating and lonely.

Balance and wisdom are individual responsibilities.

Choice is power.
