Yes, the individual is the fundamental unit. I cannot think for you any more than I can digest food for you, or feel what your senses perceive.
And this is the reason that cultural Marxism must ultimately fail. People know instinctively that they are unique individuals, and that it is wrong for them to be blamed for society’s failings. Any seventeen-year-old white boy who is denied entry to the college of his choice because he is the ‘wrong’ color and the ‘wrong’ gender automatically feels anger at this injustice - HE, personally, as an individual, did nothing to deserve this!
The real joy of interacting with another human being comes from recognizing that you are experiencing a unique event. There will never be another person who is exactly like this person you are meeting. At the same time, it is disheartening when you cannot find enough common ground to feel strong bonds of humanity with each other.
This is one of the reasons that I love interacting with you, Peter. Not only have you developed many admiration characteristics - knowledge, wisdom, fairness, perceptiveness, and many others - but we, as individuals, have so much in common. Philosophically, politically, morally, ethically, I can relate to you. It is a daily joy to interact with you. Your many fine qualities have helped to restore my faith in humanity. You ARE a unique individual, and proof of the glory of God’s creation. Bless you always.
Amen.
We are born, live, and die as individuals, it is not right to see us as anything but.
