Individualism As The Epitome Of Egocentricity. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The characteristic of the mass society
is that it is terribly individualistic.

It isolates each individual subject
from his immediate neighbor
reducing his relationship to a state
of impersonal, purely formal and abstract one.

Individualism as understood
in modern society
is the epitome of egocentricity.

Since the renaissance, individualism
has been an excuse to irresponsibility.

Pseudo spiritual individualism
divinizes material success.

The individual hides from his
natural unity with all mankind.

The tendency of conformism
kills the singular traits of each being.

Thus, many are incapable of authenticity.
