Owning Yourself
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being
overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you
try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price
is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.â€

Kipling was a wise man, the product of many life experiences (not all of them pleasant). We could use a Kipling nowadays, especially now that Dr. Sowell has retired from writing and Walter Williams is dead.

Agreed on all points Dana! Kipling was a socialist in his early life but seems to have worked his way out of it as he matured, as so many do.
