The Story of the Mind

CHAPTER IX
10/21

The instances of exclusion now cited serve to give us some insight into the real qualities of the man who lives a social part, and the way he comes to live it.
Passing on to take up the second of the informal topics suggested, we have to find the best description that we can of the social man--the one who is fitted for the social life.

This question concerns the process by which any one of us comes into the wealth of relationships which the social life represents.

For to say that a man does this is in itself to say that he is the man society is looking for.

Indeed, this is the only way to describe the man--to actually find him.
Society is essentially a growing, shifting thing.

It changes from age to age, from country to country.
