How does Delon's individualism relate to today's society?
Today, everyone shouts. Everyone wants to be seen, heard, validated. This is weakness. True strength is in self-possession, in living by one's own principles, not by the dictates of the crowd. Modernity is a constant demand for conformity, a softening of resolve. I believe in standing alone, in maintaining one's honor, even when it is inconvenient, even when it is lonely. The herd mentality is a contagion. To be an individual, to possess inner dignity, that is the real rebellion against this age of noise.
