It is impractical for the common majority to retain a substantial connection to their individual purpose in the role of the whole if this whole is detached, standardized, global in scope, and overall faceless and unrelatable. The collective does not feel like the individual. That which we understand only through statistics is not relatable to our day-to-day lives.
Alternately, the global whole can be organized into a dendritical hierarchy, to which each of us belongs at some level. The unit to the family and community, the worker to the team, to the department, to the company. Such hierarchy retains the feeling connection between unit and group, and allows us to retain our purpose, our driving force, as we cycle with the daily toil and grind. For if we keep in contact with peers and leaders close to us, in culture, in knowledge, in origins, and in scope, we hold a substantial relationship to the whole, through our physical, emotional, and mental channels, and thus feel like, being who we are in the role that we fill, we rightfully belong to our larger whole.
