Sometimes we realise how alone we really are. Relationships are basically alliances of convenience. Friends in school. Friends in college. Girlfriend. Wife. All relations that fill needs at different stages of life.
Why these relations? Firstly because there is security in numbers. In belonging. Man alone is weak. Bonding with others gives strength.
Or security. When one is too weak and confused to stand alone.
It is the freaks who are different. Gifted. They will not fit in within society. Because fitting in necessitates a certain compromise which the genius of freaks will not allow.
It is the ordinary, common persons who form groups and bond well with society. Because alone they have little to offer. Security in a group.
Each member of a group is unsure. Aware that individually he is common. So such persons bond together to try and gain strength. In fact they are running away from their ordinariness.
