If the Self is maintained by Conciousness, and Conciousness is governed primarily by Free Will, then the Self is more directly connected to Free Will then most people care to accept. While the everyday Joe won't question his being and will blindly accept his role as an individual entity in a giant system of cogs and wheels, I find that attempting to understand my true purpose has brought me closer to the rest of humanity, even though it is clearly self-involved.

Individualism is somewhat of a problem in everyday life. People are increasingly disconnected from one another because of it, so problems are brushed off as "not my job" and ideas are pushed aside because of a lack of interest. People in America do not question the rest of the world, for the most part because they simply do not think it effects them in any direct way. This is individualism at its worst.

What we do not understand is that everything IS connected and it is only through this 'controversial' idea that we will come closer, as humans, to understanding one another.

It's a stupid idea, and I'm wrong.
