Phil:

your post,Individualism that is aimed at personal rather than communal interests is retarded development. It is a natrual stage for a teenager who must hold parents at bay to prove that he or she has the right to be separate and have separate interests.

But if the teenager never gets to the point of seeing that one's life is given as a gift to the world around oneself, life is never actualized and one is left empty and unsatisfied. The illusion that being an individual is the highest form of human expression is a deformation of life and like any cancer, will either kill the host or lead it into a painful existence.

The natrual rights of man, to the extent they exist as more than a shiboleth, are natural only if the add to the planet and its inhabitants. If not they are an abberation, a deviate state, an evil illness that needs heeling.
