The Individual and The Self

The Individual, the concept of the self seperate from all other things, is a difficult idea. We live in a world that puts us in a place relative to others and it becomes hard to seperate I from them. More importantly it is not Necessarily need to a degree. The concept relies on an understanding of I, different from all others, a creation of the self. But this is not an argument for solitude from others. Infact the main focus of this understanding is an introspective, to not so much change our view of others save to accept that they are Individual and not members of others. The Idea of looking at our selves, seperating I from others and also mainting relationship with them is confusing to some. It is merely an argument to say that though we may partake in cirtain activities or be members of particular groups they do not make us, we are made by ourselves. This also means we are in many ways resposible for ourselves and must begin to accept that we cannot be simply led but must hold our own hands some times.
