Does the personal narrative fit into the collective one as the missing piece to a vastly intricate puzzle?
Is the objective reality of the collective at odds with the subjective reality of the individual?
How does one navigate this juxtaposition when dissonance arises between the narrative of the individual that does not fit into the narrative of the collective?
Our lives are our own.
If free will exists then every mind sits at the foot of the will to exist freely.
The individual exists in relation to the collective.
The individual (me) and its relation to the collective (we).
Without this basic understanding, there is a capacity for external denigration of the collective for the purpose of individual, self, aggrandizement. To exist in a collective, or a society, one is to understand their individual part in a collective whole.
The limbs of the body cannot operate and function on their own. They are a part of a system that works best when they work in tandem with the body to reach its worthy and progressive ideal, peak performance and optimization.
The individual who erodes the worthy and progressive ideal for their own immoral and unethical purposes are a cancerous limb of the collective body. It reduces its ability to work at full capacity.
In order for the body, or the collective (we) to work in peak performance, the limb, being the selfish individual, has to be addressed with the brevity that it deserves. They have to be rehabilitated or severed completely so that the body can get back to the work of becoming the healthier version of a potentiated self; unencumbered by the cancerous parts that inhibit its ability to function properly.
