..."are you one of us?"...


Talk about belonging into something exclusive and have a sense of security. Man has always been in the pursuit of making something of himself, hoping that it will grant him access to some elite group whom he feels and thinks that he identifies with. Sometimes, we are so hell-bent to belong that we somehow lose in touch with our real selves. We ended doing things we deem right if only to earn approval from among our peers. It's always a nice thought to belong with someone or with something for that matter, but hopefully, we will not be so blind to just "follow and obey", that we tend to forget using our common sense and let others do the thinking for us. Belonging should not be equated with exclusivity and prejudice. After all, what's the use of feeling the need to unite each and every one of us when we ourselves do things to put a wedge of misunderstanding amongst us.
