In the short story by Albert Camus (Jonas or the artist at work), the main character leaves, as a last message, a word that his relatives will never know if it is "SOLITARY" or "SOLIDARY".
Beyond the letter that differentiates them and the opposing feelings or "ways of being" that they seem to represent, these adjectives become complementary and are "constitutive" of the majority of our states of souls and our states of men (and naturally of WOMEN...)
We are SOLITARY AND SOLIDARY animals and it is this intelligence of ourselves that gives us our humanity.
It is as necessary for us to know how to confront ourselves with what we have become as it is for us to learn to associate ourselves with collective impulses ...
