Individualist Philosophy
The Foundation of Independent Living
In a large crowd of people, one person stands out. He or she doesn't necessarily look any different from the others. In fact, he looks ordinary compared with individuals who show-off their wild clothing, body piercings, and colorfully-dyed hair. These superficial means of self-expression don't interest him.
He rises above the crowd because he expresses who he is on the inside. While everyone else clusters in groups, he stands alone. While everyone else discusses whatever everyone else is discussing, he looks for someone who wants to discuss the things that interests him. In the meantime, he is content to ignore the meaninglessness around him and quietly think by himself.
He does not seek the approval of the masses; he approves of himself, and that approval is sufficient. He does not conform to the values of the masses; he holds to his own. He is the most radical, most socially subversive person in the crowd. He is an individualist.
