The individual is the "atomic unit" of #morality. Sort of like the atom is to chemistry. From a moral standpoint, the level of the individual is really where all the action is. The best place to find it, to exercise it, to appreciate it, and to improve it. Each instance in its own (possibly unique) way.
A corollary: we should exercise caution whenever joining or supporting groups or collectives. Since all but the most courageous of them will want our morals always to closely match theirs in order for our contributions to be optimized. Or perhaps even noticed.

A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt
[… T]he individual virtues, and the necessity of character as the chief factor in any man’s success — a teaching in which I now believe as sincerely as ever, for all the laws that the wit of man can devise will never make a man a worthy citizen unless he has within himself the right stuff, unless he has self-reliance, energy, courage, the power of insisting on his own rights and the sympathy that makes him regardful of the rights of others.

#Truth Collectively wins better for us all as a % of Truth together (if truth is done together).
Your Truth can #change and is assumed to improve and reveal the onion layers of usual (mis)understanding and we get better at seeing examples / expressing / doing it all / #encouraging others to use logic mainly but also more human #empathy #learning #circles #examples of #individuality / #imperfection.
Seems hard but accepting we're unique is powerful if done acceptingly together and more often.
