    The document presents two opposing views on individualism vs. collectivism: 1) Collectivism emphasizes working as a collective "all together" and sees individualism as "miserable" and "robotic." 2) Individualism values questioning and learning and sees the individual "I" as discovering truth. The protagonist rejects collectivism and runs away with "the golden one" to create their own kingdom based on individualism. 3) In the end, individualism is portrayed as a way to "recreate the world" and save the concept of personal identity and free will.

    Collectivism

    By Kathleen Tynan

    No questions.
    No learning.
    No conversation.
    It is a sin to think words no others think.

    One job.
    One task.
    One routine.
    Men have no cause to exist save in toiling for other men.

    All together.
    All the time.
    All as one.
    What is not done collectively cannot be good.

    Miserable.
    Weary.
    Robotic.
    The word “We” is lime poured over men.
    Individualism
    By Kathleen Tynan

    We are equality 7-2521.


    We want to know more.
    We like to ask questions.
    We want to learn.
    We are damned.
    We have discovered light.
    We want to share it,
    But not betray it.
    We think of a female.
    We call them “the golden one.”
    They call us “the unconquered.”
    We alone love them.
    We run away into the uncharted forest.
    The golden one follows.
    We discover a house.
    We create our own kingdom.
    “I” discover the truth.
    I name myself Prometheus.
    I name “the golden one” Gaea
    I love her.
    My friends come to join us.
    I am recreating the world.
    I have saved the sacred word: EGO.
