The article discusses the breakdown of collective responsibility as seen in recent news stories, highlighting a dangerous water gun game played by high school seniors. The game leads to public confusion and panic, with real-life consequences including gun violence and car accidents. The author argues that our collective well-being relies on balancing individual freedoms with the rights and safety of others. It emphasizes the need for social responsibility and compromises for the greater good, especially in shared public spaces.
Incredibly, teenagers are being shot by people thinking that the kids are actually carrying out a real attack, or the teens are causing car crashes as people try to escape the mayhem.
We are meant, physically and psychologically, to be in relationships, and those relationships and the sharing of common spaces mean compromises for the collective good.
