RNF – Many seem obsessed with the parallel and seemingly contradictory desires to both belong to a greater ‘we’ while at the same time seeking to be identified as a special, one of a kind ‘I’.
I believe these were meant to be sequential instead of parallel. I believe we must be able to first acknowledge that we are special ourselves before we can ever expect someone else to do the same. Without an understanding how special we are as an ‘I’ in advance we have little chance of ever being successful, productive participants in a greater ‘we’.
