Strange paradox by Gérard Ecotière, A3P President

 

 

Whereas most sociologists agree to observe and denounce a constant rise of individualism in humans, who, with no regard for more subtle values, privileges its position, its power, its career or its pre-square, which strange paradox, which unfulfilled need however push it to more and more frequently regroup in associations?

Which are professional or caritative, sporting or literary, they flower at the point, by the gold mine which they represent, to sharpen the appetite of our more financial high authorities. For the city where I live, and its 17000 hearts, there does exist not less than 55 that also include those who fight against the disease ... or isolation, and those who enjoy walking, philology ..... or old stones.
 
It's that man, strange and exciting animal, is not fit to live alone, or remain anonymous.

In a tended world, where multiple sources of concern attack it daily (professional life, health, future of the children, changes of all kinds) it is in the safety of the group that it finds response to its questions, its aspirations and, with its fears, and that it finds an identity which the company which stifles him away often. The Greeks had understood it, who to fight, already, against the insecurity growing in their cities created associations which brought together victims and authors of punishable acts in order to enable them through role-plays to understand it why of these acts and to educate the others of them. It was the first alternative to the law of retaliation.
 
Difficult certainly to consider today, but the life in group always has this educational virtue, and this answer to the need for identification which animates us.
 
Yes happiness is in the meadow, but it is also in the associative one…
 
You will also come there, if it is not already done….
