Communities, systems and the individualistic lifestyle

Humans have always lived in small groups that developed over time into bigger tribes, and then into societies, the basis of which is the nuclear family.
Families combine into large cohesive aggregations of people that have either race, religion or any other interest in common. They naturally and over time form communities.
Communities have unwritten rules and agreed upon systems that make up the grease that oils the cogs and gears of social interactions.
People within these communities trust and support each other.
They are, in general, happier, and a more relaxed than people who lead ruthless individualistic lifestyles, trying to do everything by themselves, shunning family or not willing to invest time and effort into meaningful healthy, long lasting bonds taht are not exclusively transactional.
Walking around in most developed societies, we see the symptoms of the deleterious individualistic, self-centered lifestyle everywhere.
People sitting alone at cafes, engrossed in whatever the screen of their phones had to offer. People holding a sandwish while on a cursory lunch break, looking into the void in front of them between two desolate bites, deprived of any human companionship.
We also see lone people walking around on the weekends with  backpacks strapped to their hunched backs, trying to
mitigate the grinding pace of their stressful life.
The ubiquity of these solitary activities is a symptom of an ailing society that is suffering in silence from a plethora of new and unheard of psychological disorders.

Indepedence and individuality are becoming the bane of our societies, turning us in scared, tired and weak creatures willing to hold on to any strand of imagined hope that anyone dangles in front of us.
