I in the land of we

It is known that we are a social being, we need a company of another person to live a blessed-full life. I also think that we are an individual being who have our own desires and plans. I believe we should nurture the individual desire as long as it benefit the whole society in the end. In the context of democracy, the majority rules while the minority right is respected. I think we can consider individuals as a minority in the ecosystem.
