If human nature drives us towards independence while society drive us towards interdependence, wherein can we find the proper balance?
Sean provided some great insight into my question about how societies are actually self destructive, but the question posed by Sean is a loaded question in the fact that there is only a subjective answer. Every person has a different level of need for independence and interdependence and it is near impossible to satisfy every single person with a proper blend between the two, which is one of the reasons in my opinion, governments fail because they try to satisfy everyone and end up just failing miserably at this impossible task. So if a society will ever reach a balance between these two forces that I find good and acceptable, it might be unbearable to other people. Therefor, Society and as a result government will never be perfect for everybody. Yet at the same time, one cannot dissolve society and government (Which are intrinsically linked together) permanently because it is within our nature to create groups and societies.
Since Society and government can never be truly perfect and it is indestructible due to human nature, does that mean it is in human nature to discriminate or have other humans in unfair situations?
