All these and other phenomena we have observed take place simultaneously in all the known relational systems. They follow the main line of movement in the direction of a fulfillment, of an aspired superiority over existing difficulties, and they also always are related to the community and its traditional lawfulness regarding fellowmanship, work, and love. All human behavior is at every point a reply to these three great questions of humanity and at the same time an attempt at compensation for a feeling of inferiority. We assume, then, a general inferiority feeling in man from which arises the striving to overcome all hostile forces. The entire development of mankind, its worthwhile and its mistaken attempts, characterize this course. And even in this mass-psycho- logical consideration we find a compelling correction in the rule of social interest and its aim toward the common weal. alfred adler
