The Group

We humans just love splitting off into groups, I suppose we feel safer in group, ‘cos basically compared to other living things we’re pretty weak. 

So we love groups - religions, political groups, sports teams, even gender-preference groups - so many groups and sub groups we contradict our own hate toward competing groups. That’s another given, it’s not just that we like being part of groups we also have to have other groups to hate, or at least dislike.......... 

Never happy ‘till we’re hating, that’s us. It’s no different now, the ‘alt right’ hating the ‘alt left’ , even though from each group there are probably people who share the love in yet other groups, they may support the same sports team at the weekend, but hate each other for political reasons in the week, and on certain evenings meet each other again at a local ‘dark room moment’ in a group hug.

 I have this impression that it could all end in one of two ways. Either we come together and realize we are all so different that every battle against other ‘groups’ is a lost cause and will only cause yet more struggle and strife ..... or that  one day there will be just one huge ‘last man standing’ moment where we club each other to death. Unless, that is, that one or more ‘bacteria group’ gets to us first .

Have a nice day.
