strength in numbers

ever wondered to know why it's fun to belong to a group? and not when you're a loner? now you can find out by just paying a one-time fee of $59.99! just send a cheque to me (it can be blank, i really don't mind) and you will get an answer within 3 working days (i rest from monday to sunday). satisfaction guaranteed! if not, too bad. :) note: price does not include gst and service charge. add it up yourself and send me the correct amount. if it's wrong (ie. you do not get a reply within 3 working days) then you'll have to try again. cash accepted too!

wow that was one paragraph of nonsense, but seriously, if you still feel like sending me the cheque or cash, go ahead. i won't stop you. anyway, there has to be reasons why we see people in groups. there's a reason why restaurants don't have tables with a single seat. i'm sure the reaction to what i'm going to say would be 'gee, i knew that too!' lol

we are all looking for a sense of belonging somewhere, somehow with someone (or someoneS). face it. we feel good when we walk/eat/watch movies with others. it makes us feel wanted, and that there are people who want you around. it gives us a sense of satisfaction and pride. we like it when people are supportive of our stand. contrast it with opposition of just about anything we say. it's kind of strange when you have movements that encourage you to 'be different', and it ends up everyone becomes different in the same way.

and then we have people who strike it out alone. these are the people who have truly radical views about what they see, and as a result, get ostracised by me and you. but if you were to think about it, the reason they're left out is not so much because we don't like them. it's because we fear them. we suscribe to a certain school of thought as to what 'normal' is, and deviation can take place in many ways. as a result, we do not know how a certain 'deviant' behaves, and we are afraid to get closer to him/her to find out more, and we are afraid of getting hurt somehow. hence we decide to just leave him out alone.

hmm wow see that was what you would have gotten $59.99++. well i figured it wasn't worth the money, so i just made it free. -.- but again, if you think you have benefitted from the above, please write a blank cheque to 'the wong wen hui piggy bank fund' and send it to me. i'll send you a hard copy of this as a momento or something. and i just realised something. my posts are too long. if this keeps up i'll be struggling to hit a hundred posts. i'm not even at 10 yet. in line with this, i'm going to start a tongue-in-cheek top ten list that will be up every week (or maybe 2 weeks or maybe a month) so send in your ideas! if your ideas are used you'll get free publicity here! with an average daily readership of 1.78 people! (yes i'm included)
