The first fruit of this imagination - and the first lesson of the social science that embodies it - is the idea that the individual can understand his own experience and gauge his own fate only by locating himself within his period, that he can know his own chances in life only by becoming aware of those of all individuals in his circumstances.

我认为我们已经经历了一个时期，太多的孩子和人们被引导去理解“我有一个问题，这是政府的工作来应对它！”或者“我有一个问题，我会去获得补助来应对它！”“我无家可归，政府必须给我住房！”所以他们把问题抛给社会，而社会是谁？没有这种东西！只有个人男性和女性以及家庭，除了通过人民，政府什么也做不了，而人民首先会照顾自己。
