Is my humanity personal or collective?

A drop of water has no direction,
Until its introduction to a stream.
A streams movement will bend and change through its self infliction. 
While, 
A stream is unable to conform stray water:
It is shaped by such.

A car may control its own movement,
However, is constrained to the roads of its creation.
