If there’s one thing this Pandemic has taught us over the past year, it is this: rugged and exaggerated forms of individualism are dangerous. I’ve never been more aware of the strengths of community as I am now. George Bernard Shaw said, “I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.”
If we want the future to be ethically moral and compassionately successful, we have to shift ourselves from the mindset of “I” to the mindset of “we.”
Lovely light. ❤

I completely agree with you Sarah. The obsession with “me” is obsessive. Our ethic is becoming more and more selfish by the day.

Yes, you make a good point. Alas it will not happen anytime soon. When society bases its ideal on economic growth above all else we are bound to end up with the savage world we have got.

The lighting on this is perfect, especially for what you wrote about rugged and exaggerated forms of individualism can be dangerous. I am glad you titled it because it looked like some sort of dangerous serpent to me at first. 🙂
