Social Groups: Everyone’s a scrub

In the 60’s, Bob Dylan pissed a lot of people off because he refused to be labeled a “Protest Singer” and wanted to break away from the traditional folk scene. The same sort of thing happens in social situations in life. 

Let me explain:

There are a lot of times when I wonder what causes a certain group of people to always do things together. We’d all like to think it is just because they all love each other, but that never seems to be the case. Many a times, there is fragmentation within the group, so the very purpose of a group becomes defeated. It would make much more sense to just socialize with the people in the group that one actually likes rather than the entire group. But no one seems to have enough courage to break apart. This is one of the reasons life is so hard. 

We all seem to try and avoid groups. Very rarely does someone raise their hand and say ” Oh, can I be in your group?” The ones who do such a thing are usually what many call “posers” You don’t want to be one of these people.

So, how does one avoid all of this? Is there any way of escaping it? Well, I like to believe that you can, but you’ll have to endure some difficulties in the short term, but it will probably all pay off in the end.  

It’s all one big game, and none of it really matters. Everyone’s a scrub on the inside.
