Communities: Life's essential commodity

An individual is blessed by this mighty sense of individuality since the day he/she open eyelids into this world. The sense of "me", " my", and "mine" feeling accompanied by a despondency looking for cohesive bonds. And, that's where the essential part of Group Formation commences. An individual steps out of his comfort zone and learns to Accept, Appreciate, and Approve. Only by practising "Stretch your arm first" can one forget the background while interacting within a community.

Doubtlessly, "we are all born into different communities", but I deem being born in a different community isn't a hallmark to approve of before entering into friendship. For friendship and even of interacting, community-origin isn't a hallmark that an individual has to pre-requisitely approve of to be acceptable. It is just a mirage! The most crucial part of being a part of different communities is the wholesome amount of satisfaction, the sense of belongingness, and the solace it renders. It cuts down on one's fears, lends an ear to the tears, and is worthy to repair (any of your body's broken pair). It brings one out from loneliness to being loved, from the fear of being neglected to being selected and appreciated. There is a great sense of satisfaction in togetherness, the mutual feelings of collectivism- multiplication of love, and laughter; division of sorrows and woes. Because after all, that smirks the power collectivism beholds.

According to my opinion, communities are a crucial 'C'-component of the tiered structure of our society. We all seek love and care in every relationship and if not for them the journey of life would be a transit to pain and sufferings of loneliness, as in community the prime desire or bond is based on the primal need of human beings, to connect and seek love. That's the basis of feeling a sense of belonging to a community or other person(s). For a child, his/her immediate community acts as a role model to the world outside and thus, being exposed to a happy one, will ensure optimism in the child. As the child grows up to be an adult, he/she contributes to society but deep down the age-old values are still enshrined within it. And, that's where the role of community comes into interplay, "A community is a powerful driving factor, with a capability to either draw an individual towards light or to drag one towards doom."
