Connection & Community - Issue 40 - 18th December 2022

Whilst it may seem that what I’m advocating for is an individualistic society in which we only consider ourselves, our development and our success, this is not my intention. I do believe that when we are healthy and courageous, we are more helpful to others and therefore I’m not suggesting that we only consider our own quest for meaning without any regard for others’. Unfortunately, the capitalist societies that we occupy enforces certain mindsets and cultures that rigorously imply that success and happiness comes from individualist-thinking, materialism and competition. Whilst competition is important, issues arise when inequalities arise.
