:: [2]Plight of The Individual in Modern Society

Carl Gustav Jung, THE UNDISCOVERED SELF:

The bigger the crowd the more negligible the individual becomes. But if the individual, overwhelmed by the sense of his own puniness and impotence, should feel that his life has lost its meaning - which, after all, is not identical with public welfare and higher standards of living - then he is already on the road to State slavery and, without knowing or wanting it, has become its proselyte.
