Preoccupation with Survival

The present general culture encourages one to be preoccupied with one’s own survival or at most the survival of one’s family. This flows out of the historical fragmentation of society. It has its roots in feudalism, in slavery, in the desperate conditions of unplanned living.

Harvey Jackins

From page 108 of “The Necessity of Long-Range Goals” in The Human Situation
