Individualism is the school of thought that lays stress on the moral worth of an individual. It is an inspired philosophical belief that focuses on realizing one’s own interests and desires and opposing any sort of external interference which hinders the cause of the individual. In the words of Gertrude Stein, “I don't envisage collectivism. There is no such animal, it is always individualism, sometimes the rest vote and sometimes they do not, and if they do they do and if they do not they do not.”
Individualism is also touted as the quality of being individual. Individualism makes a human being as the primary focus in the quest for liberation. In the words of Susan Powter, “What's natural and right is to go with the energy of how it all has to work together. What's natural and right is interconnectedness, not individualism. What is natural and right is respect for the system, not killing the system. What's natural and right is love.”
