People want to feel like they belong (#1107)

More than anything with us humans is that sense of belonging. For most all of us we have a yearning and a motivation to put our best forward to each other in order to show that we are worthy of belonging. All through our lives we do the little and big things necessary to show each other that we have attractive features and qualities in order to showcase that we are not some ugly, nasty brutish beings. We dress up for each other to show we have style. We greet each other in ways that show our interest. We do make efforts to ease each others problems in order to show respect. We act out in many ways to help ourselves and others to fit into what is deemed desirable by our species on whole. We are individuals seeking justification within communities of each other. We strive to be recognized for achievements that elevate us to some cherished stature among us. Everything we do has a consequence on others and most of us want that consequence to be rewarding and fulfilling. I say most of us because like any population of species, there seems to always be some that have a different psychology about the give and take between individualism and community. Regardless, the mass majority of us relish in the opportunity to be a part of a larger group that identifies with respect and care. Understandably, since I posit that we are essentially, curious and caring. It is my evaluation that we are all born curious and caring and that those who do stray from these natural instincts have been led astray through environmental factors, less physiological anomalies. What we crave in our lives is the knowledge that we belong within the group of all of us and that is how we will most successfully all go forward.
