No Safety in Numbers | Predestination

The only democracy that matters is internal, and confined to every individual.

The degree of hypocrisy of every man’s and woman’s beliefs determine her or her circumstances, regardless of any collective opinion or experience.

A group’s success and a group’s failures of comprised of the summation of those experienced by the individuals within that group.

And there is a causal relationship, potentially to the individual from the group, but always from the individuals to the group.

You can be a slave to circumstances, but you are always creating the circumstances.

It does not matter how many people agree with you.

All that matters is how much you agree with yourself.

And the proportion of your desires that are aligned with your other desires.

And ultimately, the individual always experiences circumstances by his or her self.

You may get satisfaction from the satisfaction from the group, but you will not get satisfaction from the shared suffering of your group.

And although you may succeed individually while your group suffers, that individual satisfaction is only elevated by your group.

There is a possibility that a group belief can be adopted by the individual to his or her benefit.

But the implication that your beliefs are determined by your group binds you to the ups and downs of that group.

And all group identity that persists is that of collective suffering.

When a man or woman is achieving his or her goals, he or she disregards the group.

We only seek refuge in the group, when we experience undesirable circumstances.

And this is the self-fulfilling choice.

To align with the group is to suffer with the group.

To venture out as an individual is to succeed in achieving your goals.
