We will endure indignities for a while but without relief, pressure builds until there is an explosion. In the economy of God, one person is of inestimable worth. When another person or a social, economic or political system does not acknowledge the fundamental pricelessness of each individual, they're headed for conflict or failure. However, an excess of individuality can lead to anarchy. Opposing this inward pull is one as basic as individuality the pull of togetherness.
Man alone is an aberration.
Although of ultimate value in himself, he is never really himself until he belongs to a society. And any way of thinking that violates the unity of mankind is doomed to disappointment and failure. Most important is the vertical pull in a person's life. Man was built to be in touch with God. This dimension gives meaning and direction to the other two.
