Groupism

That was an interesting read.
Made me start pondering on why we prefer groups and try to make one.
Well its easier and 'safer' if its a we instead of an I. It takes immense courage to go the I way.
Whereas we arent wholly responsible in a group. The group takes the blame as well as the compliments.

Think about all the groups you are part of or you see in a single day. Its surprising how many we come across ... and ofcourse on what traits was this group made.
Lunch group, commute to office group, .... lots of em.

As a second thought ... how the collective decisions even when wrong seem to be right at that point of time and we follow em, sometimes even if we dont like what we are doing.

How much do we know about each other? How much???

I chanced on a frens blog today. I didnt even know he was into writing leave alone blogging!!
Which made me think how little I really know about my frens!!

Well... most people (me too) keep a part of their lives a secret. Which is fine with me.
The fun part is when you realize these talents in your frens.
Its a pleasant surprise.
