[vi] death is on my face

[unbiaseddeath]

Friends. I do not understand the need. I recently read an article on social psychology of American individuals. It was said that people are prone to join groups. It began as an evolutionary imperative, but now remains as a way to accomplish goals, gain prestige, and potentially to gain access to share resources. The cost, however, is a drain on your own time, energy, and resources as well as potentially conflicting views that you are expected to accept; 'norms,' they are called. Rules of how you are to behave as a part of this group. Most do not even acknowledge the concepts of deinviduation or groupthink, both such demeaning effects of group membership.

Tell me, then, why does one join a group? Why does one possess or gain friends?

Likely so one does not feel alone or isolated. Spending lengthy amounts of time alone can negatively affect your mental health.

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

Negatively affect how?

[redwaterfall.livejournal.com]

Isolation can lead to a feeling of hopelessness. And in such cases of hermits, they often form emotional attachments to small animals like birds or mice, personifying them to human intelligence and emotional ability. They might even go so far is to carry on conversations with their created friends. Mostly it is all hallucination created by the mind to keep from shutting down.

I do not feel hopeless or take to any animal.

humans and dogs are pack aminals

Only for as long as they need to to get things done. I am not saying there should be no people, but why call upon them as friends?

[threeheadeddog.livejournal.com]

most humans need most things done

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

I suppose.

People who involve themselves in these sorts of relationships do not find them to be a drain on their time, energy and resources.

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

How so?

[blesseddeath.livejournal.com]

They enjoy sharing their time, energy and resources with their friends.

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

Why?

[helmed-darkness.livejournal.com]

Presumably, the survival impulse is now ingrained. They can not control themselves.

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

Then how do I control them?

[helmed-darkness.livejournal.com]

It is understood we deal with the dead?

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

I desire greater isolation from these people. Even an occupation with death does not suffice here, for they do not know enough of Murder.

[morphingreality.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

It is a drain on one's patience, time, energy, and resources.

[morphingreality.livejournal.com]

For most, yes. Those are too much effort.

The others, are not.

[not-my-heel.livejournal.com]

Because they are weak and cannot think or act for themselves.

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

A reasonable answer and likely true.

[not-my-heel.livejournal.com]

Of course it is true. Such people have power in numbers.

[cythereanite.livejournal.com]

The more the merrier, I say.

[unbiaseddeath.livejournal.com]

Why?

[cythereanite.livejournal.com]

Because it's so much fun to see who reacts to what and how.
