Humankind is meant to have companionship, and if this was not true, then there wouldn’t be any good point or reason for us to form personal or community relationships. The fact that we have an innate desire as well as a need to belong one to another, is indicative, that we are meant to grow and to join together, with one another. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean that aloneness and solitude, has no place, whatsoever; for indeed, there are those times in which we need to reset our mind, as well as to contemplate upon those things that necessitate the quietness and the stillness of the mind, but this should never be done to the absolute exclusion of any other human company, or for any unnatural amount of time.
As it has been said, birds of a feather flock together, and we indeed are those “birds;” of which, therefore, it is an abiding principle that we should not only seek out the company of those that we have an affinity for, but also, we have a need to reach beyond our own comfort zone, so as to “break bread” with those, that may seem different, but are often, in reality, people that have a lot of commonalities with fundamentally who and what we too actually represent.
The true test of anyone, is how good they are at being able to successfully do their part in making society, a better place for their participation in it, and thereby to help make those communities, a better place for those that are its inhabitants. So too, those that only live for themselves, aren’t doing themselves any favors, for if it is always about selfishness and the feeding of one’s own ego, then those that one congregates with, are going to be far less inclined to feel any real obligation to do much of anything for the other, because that particular street seemingly only runs one-way, which leaves no room for the validity or the importance of the other.
Additionally, there are those inevitable times of trouble and heartache for just about everyone, in which, those that feel that they do not belong to anyone else or to anything else, do not therefore have anyone or anything to lean upon in their times, of greatest trial; and for that lack, they may so find it very difficult therefore to successfully pick themselves up. After all, there are those times, when virtually all of us, need a helping hand, and that helping hand is only going to come forth from someone or some organization that is answering what they believe to be a noble calling, and thereby a sacred obligation, which in its effect, upholds our duty of belongingness.
We are meant to belong one to another, for this world was never constructed to be a competition in any way, form, or manner; but has always, since its inception, been a construct so set up to give us the opportunity to join together in a common cause, which thereby guides us to the place that we were always meant to be, so done through our acknowledgement that we do indeed, belong to one another and always will.
