Excerpt from The Social World
It is inferred that there exists in man what may be termed an instinct of personal rights - a feeling that leads hint to claim as great a share of natural privileges as is claimed by others - a feeling that leads hint to repel anything like an enroachment upon what he thinks his sphere of original freedom. By virtue of this impulse, individuals, as units of social mass, tend to assume like relationships with the atoms of matter, surrounded as these are by their respective atmospheres of repulsion as well as of attraction. I And perhaps social stability may ultimately be seen to depend on the due balance of these forces. - Herbert Spencer, "Social Statics."
