Balance vs Survival (rigid mind)

[RaZor47]

How can i achieve a balance between my individualistic side and my collective side if the only thing that my ego cares about is survival? My mind tends to force me to be more individualistic, and this is where things get really tricky because as far as i can tell the reason it does this is because society is very unconscious and inauthentic or so this is my reasoning for it.

There is no individual that is divorced from culture.
Culture is the material from which an individual is made.

There is no 'you' apart from 'others'. You are you only as much as you are useful to the society.
Try naming one thing that define you that is somehow not related to other people. It's impossible.

@RaZor47  Do you have fears, morals, prejudice, judgements...? These are all caused by unhealthy individualism. You can work on getting rid of them one by one.
