There is I. And there is WE.
It’s important that I has a sense of self, and it’s equally important that WE have the sense of the togetherness.
I can never replace WE. And WE shouldn’t diminish I.
Connecting to the two worlds can be very different. When I am with myself, I connect with my feelings and needs, my internal world. And when I am with WE, I am connecting to the dynamics that I may or may not understand or relate to.
Mistaking the two worlds for one helps nobody.
