belonging

Why do I want to be part of something? To get a sense of belonging! We are social creatures and we don’t want to be alone; so we try to associate us with something unique and try to be a part of that unique thing/ group to get that sense of belonging. We always identify ourselves with some type of uniqueness. Oh! I belong to this religion; I am a member of this club, a part of this group and yet we try to stand out in that group and create a different identity for ourselves. We always were individuals and will always strive to be; but we are always too blind to see that.
