“…Human being was created to live a life of society, and each and every individual in society is like a cog that is tied together to a number of other cogs, all of which are interdependent and conditioned by one machine. The individual cog has no freedom of motion in and of itself; rather, it is pulled into motion by the movement of all the cogs in a pre-set direction, which serves to make the machine more capable of fulfilling its general function. And if one cog malfunctions, this malfunction is not evaluated and examined with regard to that cog in and of itself, but rather according to its function and the service that it provides to the whole machine.”
