I would like to add, one should aspire to Carmen’s ideals but you can’t ignore Winslow’s truth. Today and for a long time past, the individual’s wishes has been regarded as the ultimate sacred good. Our country was founded on the ideals of allowing an individual the opportunity to fulfill their ambitions. Pursuit of happiness and all that. But, we live in a complex world now. Others needs can’t be ignored or run away from (new frontier and all that). We have to acknowledge we live within a whole and have a responsibility to that. Being concerned about others is not the dreaded socialism, but just being human. Love one another as we would be loved ourselves. That is an ideal worth striving for.
