Cooperation and Empathy.

If one segregates people, compelling them to operate in an impersonal form of isolation (as opposed to a sacred introversion), one draws and quarters the human body. Every individual has a large set of faculties for empathy. One's mind cannot be cleared of problems when their origin is resolved within oneself. Naturally, when a friend feels a problem, or even a stranger does, one's reaction is to feel it as well. The neurotic who is convinced that he or she is a rugged individual with no sense of responsibility towards one's fellow man is in for a good deal of neurosis. Problems that occur second-hand, by empathy with another, will be mistaken for one's own, and one will use one's own methods to resolve the problem, As Though It Were Internal. With no impetus in the personal unconscious to merit this action, a neurosis worsens. You can't swat the fly. That is because the fly is on the other side of the glass. You can only instruct your friend as how to find the fly and swat it.
