Day 52: February 21, 2009

Question 81:
Should the individual or society be of primary importance?

Responses:
  • No
  • Ideally if the individual is raised not egocentrically but in a loving home with good education and morals then society will see the fruits of the labors of putting the individual first. From children to each other to our parents and friends, treating the individual with respect should lead to a respectful society.
  • We should focus on the society so the individual can happily live in it. In places where the individual is more important than society, there is often corruption and a non-functioning society. Basic needs such as shelter, food, and clothing are scarce. Societies should however never be allowed to involve themselves in religion, forcing people to go to war, deciding whether women can abort an unborn baby and deciding who can marry. These are individual rights that must be respected by society.
  • Society

Song:
This Is It, by Ryan Adams

Lyrics:
Let me sing a song for you
That's never been sung before
All the words were meant for you
And never been said before
She kisses when she sleeps
She kisses when she's sleeping
Let me sing a song for you
A song that's worth the dreaming

Don't waste my time
This is it
This is really happening

What's the use in marigolds
These flowers are for you
All the lights go after burn
The sky it splits in two
I kiss her on her teeth
I kiss her on her teeth, hmm
Let me sing a song for you that alters your belief

Don't waste my time
This is it
This is really happening
