Security and stability come when you are a part of a group of people.
Extract from the Article-
In most occasions people have dissimilar interests
but they h
ave similar expectations from their surroundings.
Every individual who lives in society
expects
others to accept them
or expects fellow humans to like them.
Think about yourself,
don't you want your friends and your family to like you? don't you want them to care for you?
Can you imagine your life as a nomad?
You would not have a permanent roof over your head.
Hunting and gathering food would be absolutely required for survival on a daily basis
but we don't do that anymore.
A majority of humans live a settled life.
How do you think it all started ?
Once people began communicating and living in groups
they also started to notice various other factors that aid them to live better.
So they started moving from one place to the other.
Nomads keep moving from place to place according to their convenience.
What are the factors that decide whether things are convenient or not ?
Distance from the nearest freshwater bodies like lakes or rivers,
distance from the forest where they can hunt animals or gather fruits.
The climate of the place is also essential. It shouldn't be too hot or too cold for human survival.
All these were important factors for these groups to live in a place for a while.
They understood the same only after they had stayed in other areas where something or the other wasn't working out.
So they kept traveling until they realized the importance of each one of their needs and in which place everything was available.
But as and when they started realizing that a particular place had everything they needed.
They started staying there for extended periods and
since all these resources would not perish anytime soon they started living there permanently.
With permanent homes it seems like a normal thing today.
But it was a revolutionary thing for early humans.
As a kid were you scared to go out of your house at night without your parents ?
Well you might feel that.
Even now ,technically you are still a child who is dependent on your family for everything.
So basically your family makes you feel secure at night.
Similarly it works for groups as well.
Why we lived in groups?
A single nomad would be scared to go alone for hunting.
What if a wild animal attacks ?
They would conveniently fall prey to it If they did not hunt in groups.
Being in groups helped them to plan things that can be done more strategically.
You might have a question,
as to how that?
Answer is because
when humans hunt alone they can hunt prey smaller than themselves size wise
but if they hunt together they can kill a bigger prey through a collaborative effort.
Staying in groups became an attractive option to humans.
The other important aspect of staying in groups is stability
just like you feel secure being with your parents
your parents feel safe when they are a part of society.
It is a larger group that makes sure that their everyday needs are met.
The society that your parents form a part of has everything to take care of your day-to-day problems.
A policeman who ensures safety, a court that provides justice to all, other people.
This helps them feel stable, in other words
a feeling of something fixed ,
something steady.
Security and stability come when you are a part of a group of people.
On most occasions people have dissimilar interests.
But they have similar expectations from their surroundings.
Every individual who lives in society
expects others to accept them.
He or she expects fellow humans to like them .
Think about yourself,
don't you want your friends and your family to like you ?
don't you want them to care for you?
