To All God's Children,
-->We can claim to be in an individualistic society where independence and self-reliance is the key to success and happiness - not when 80 percent of jobs are received through networking. When you really think about it, we all are so dependent on each other for everything. More primitive cultures all had to divide tasks among its villagers like hunting, gathering, cooking, sewing, and learning herbal medicines, just as examples.
Our society would collapse if each person tried to become totally independent of each other. One person growing up without a mother or father or anyone to take care of him or her would automatically grow up as one of those mute feral children. An adult in complete solitude would have to grow his own vegetables, raise his own livestock, sow her own clothes, cook her own meals and build her own house after chopping down her wood. Why do that when you can easily go to the store and get it from someone else.
From janitors to CEOs, every productive person in a complex society offers some sort of skill in order to make life comfortable for all of us. Without each other we would collapse. Individuality is an impossibility because we all need each other.

People from individualistic countries such as most Western societies like America, wonder why they are so lonely, so depressed, and so stressed out; it’s because we’re not meant to walk this earth alone. We’re meant to have family, friends, children and neighbors without the concern of competition and money. This world we created is so unnatural and unforgiving it pangs me.
