Why does society exist?
“Because man is a social animal.”
Who told you that?
“My teacher in the third grade.”
Are you still in the third grade?
“No, but I heard it from others and…”
Why must you hear that? What can you hear? Only the words said by others? Why can’t you know for yourselves? Are we really animals still?
Neither social nor animals—we are individual human beings. Neither social nor animals. But the society does not like individuals because the individual is not afraid—and the society is always afraid. The individual is never afraid.
