Belonging is a birthright, not a luxury. In belonging, we retain our unique, individual features while being connected—we join, we are part of, we gain membership, we become a “we” without losing the “me.” In these ways, the term “belonging” means the deepest facets of integrative joining—not merely fitting in or just going along to get along, and not losing our individuality under peer-pressure to become a part of a group.
