That's kind of how it's always been for some societies to be successful. There's always a give and take, both on the micro-level with inter-personal relationships (i.e., how to have a sustainable marriage) and on the macro-level with extra-personal relationships (i.e., workforce, municipality, republic/democratic/monarchical engagement).
There is always going to be some level of individualism you need to keep to maintain self-worth and self-determined valuation, while also having to give some of it up for the collective good. It's a fine balancing act, as one of too much or the other leads to collapse, which is typically why most successful nations have found that balance through some form of theocracy.
I’m not religious but am frightened by what people that lack it seem to believe. I greatly dislike the idea that my morals should come from a higher being but without it people start cutting up kids and telling them they’re the opposite sex while simultaneously saying that the opposite sex doesn’t have anything to do with what body parts you have.
It’s insane! I’d rather live among real Christians than atheist.
