The unsociable sociability• The individual is a part societies, wants to be, need to be;

• At the same time the individual recognize that he is unsocial, because there is always a feeling or thoughts that everyone should adjust to ”me”, or ”to my idea”, which lead resistance, negotiation, isolation, or even violence

• Individuals learn from this and develop moral standards, norms , legal framework, institutions, processes...

There is always hope!

• The individual can and do create his own laws, he has the autonomi to do that. The individual must decide what is right or wrong, good or bad (The categorical imperative).

• It is a freedom that commits, the situation ”push and pull” , it is conditions for develop ”rules of the game or relations”.

• This strengthen the idea of democracy, equality, moral education, individuality and the existential paradox of unsocialable sociability
