Effect and cause 2

If we accept that the external reality is a projection from mind...

-- it might be hard to accept, but it is the reality --

we can deduce that the content in the mind of individuals varies from the extremely good to the extremely bad.

If we compare this objective perspective with a subjective perspective we see a mixed picture.

Some of the social bad is experienced as individually good, some of the social good is experienced as individually bad, Some of the social bad is experienced as individually bad, and some of the social good is experienced as individually good. 

So there is no complete union between society and individual. Nevertheless, there could be an exchange of ideas between society and individual. But is it possible?

Mind projections have a tendency to support themselves. If we see the world as hostile, the signs of hostility will show that we are right. If we see the world as friendly, we will find this attitude supported by observation and facts.

One theory is that if society acts with sternness, the individuals will see that there is no alternative than to adjust. 

But from mind point of view, sternness would be counter productive. Sternness would support the negative tendencies already existing in mind, and thus make negativity stronger.

Society is a meeting place for projections of all kinds, from the good to the bad, so there is a lot of spontaneous negativity around.

Goodness in content is better than sternness in form as attitude of society. This is also the general principle. Most citizens are socialized by doing what they want - in study, work and family life.
