Going by one’s own (individualistic) perception, the article is found to deal with lucidly the most glaring conflict of all in the history of existence of humans on earth; that is, - ‘individualism’ x ‘collectivism’. On the concept of ‘collect’ and its derivatives, for knowing the intricacies of it, one may begin with having a close look at its dictionary meaning or connotation.

Pope Francis also said that for a brief moment he considered turning down the papacy when he was elected by the other cardinals in March.
"I closed my eyes and all thoughts disappeared, including the one of rejecting the nomination," he recalled.
