Choose Nature
The thinking up till now is that the individual has to follow what society dictates. He has to fit in. That has become the normal definition of a human being – one who fits with the society. Even when society is insane, you have to fit in and then you are normal.
The problem arises when nature demands one thing and society demands the contrary. when society has its own interests which might not be in tune with the interests of the individual. Society has its own investments and the individual has to be sacrificed.
It should be the other way round. The individual does not exist for society, the society exist for him. Society has no soul. The individual has which is the conscious center.
Whenever you find that society is in conflict with nature, choose nature. Whatever the cost, you’ll never be the loser.
