Individualism has ruined us all.
Individualism has turned life into a constant competition, forcing us to chase things we don’t value, against people we don’t care about, in an endless race to prove our worth.
Individualism has made us all hate on being average or below on everything. If we’re not the best or win at everything, then we may as well be the worst or lose at everything.
If one man sleeps with 3 women, I now have to sleep with 5 otherwise he’s better than me.
If one woman has 1 million at 25 I now must have 5 million otherwise she’s better than me.
The list goes on and on.
Individualism has made us all greedy, heartless and selfish. Individualism has made us all want to be leaders or winners while shaming, humiliating the followers or losers.
If everyone was a leader, who would follow?
If everyone was a YouTuber, who would do the watching?
If everyone was a CEO, who would do the working or consuming?
If everyone was rich, would the word even exist? (I have no issues with this one)
If everyone was Neo from the matrix, then Neo wouldn’t have been needed.
We would never be able to truly savour the feeling of victory if we never felt the despair of defeat.
One side is not more valuable than the other, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
If individualism is so great, then why is everyone sad?
Edit - please don’t confuse the word “individual” with the word “individualism”.
The definition of the word individualism is - the habit or principle of being independent and self-reliant."
We live in a culture that celebrates individualism and wealth.
Lastly please stop assuming and projecting things about my life, ask questions first. It’s childish
