Society puts so much emphasis on the individual. I put much more care into what a group is doing than some chincy individual trying to leave a measly mark for their own immortality. I could usually care less what an individual has accomplished. It's a 'oh, good for you' when I'm confronted with such people. My admiration and adoration goes towards the groups. I wonder why that is. I was raised to believe in the individual. I dunno... maybe I'm a socialist or communist in terms of respect. Or maybe it's just something even deeper I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of. Maybe it's something so obvious that I cast it aside as false or too simple.
Simple phrases that get certain responses:
"I'm getting my first house!" Cool, congratulations.
"We're getting our first house together!" Aww, awesome! Where? How big? What's the cost?
Hmm. I wonder if it's selfishness in some way. As I do genuinely care about the individuals connected to my life even more-so than the non-linked groups.
The matter needs deeper introspection.
Eh, random passing thought today.
