The Vision
In our era, where the quest for identity often leads us into isolation or into the arms of vast, impersonal collectives, there emerges a need for a middle path. This path, inspired by the concept of subsidiary identity, recognizes the individual as a mosaic of experiences, emotions, and affiliations. It's a vision where personal uniqueness is harmonized with the layers of larger communities – families, local groups, cities, and nations. In this paradigm, each level of identity maintains its distinctiveness, yet seamlessly contributes to the larger whole. It's a vision where being a citizen means being a part of a living, breathing network of interpersonal connections, grounded in the virtues of cooperation, respect, and shared purpose.
