Quiroga - 26

 Sacred values

If the cult of individuality that governs the construction of modern social relationships is going to cost us the sacrifice of the strength that stems from the bonds of cooperation, community spirit and mutual collaboration, then it would be worth destroying individuality, but it is precisely the mere threat of putting into danger the existence of individuality that is making it more difficult to accept that something is wrong, something that corrupts the scale of values to the point of not realizing that the more we move away from the community spirit, the more we impoverish the individuality that we seem to love so much.

Individuality is sacred, but like everything that is sacred it can become corrupted and act against itself, when it does not serve and facilitates the even more sacred connection with what we all have in common.
