This is a good example of isolation in the crowd. One imagines oneself as separate from the rest of humanity, and what happens to others, doesn't matter. This is the point where the evils that have consumed so much of theologically thinking begins.

Now we have to build elaborate systems to protect ourselves from "those people", and inside our gated communities we may feel safe, but is this freedom? Is this really the height of human potential?
