Belonging

An observation by me.Belonging"A sense of belonging is a human need, just like the need for food and shelter. Feeling that you belong is most important in seeing value in life and in coping with intensely painful emotions. A sense of belonging to a greater community improves your motivation, health, and happiness."By Karyn Hall Ph.D. for PsychologyToday.comI have thought about this word for a long time.It has a lot to do with,why I feel people form groups.So they can feel a self of worth.Even in the face of overwhelming evidence we have a resurgence of people who once again believe in theFlat Earththeory.They refuse to change their minds because their fellow believers would eventually banish them from the group.Why rich affluent movie stars believe inScientologybecause they want their essence to live on forever.Why people joinCults.Why people strongly affiliate themselves with aPolitical Party,a branch of theArmed Forces,Sport Teams, or even their place ofWork.This is why people joinHate Groups,buy lots ofGuns,and show their loyalty by exploding into a wild rampage of bloodshed.Why someone would even commitSuicidefor a group's ideological cause!And why so often lonely solitaire individuals also strike out in anger.It's their needand failure,
to Belongto something,to someone,or to some group.   This is,I Don't Have Any AnswersI Just Have An ObservationJim Hauenstein,
