Common Ground

January 25, 2008 in Thoughts

It’s always nice to have common ground.

When you have problems and you realize that people around you have problems, sometimes you feel comforted that you’re not the only one who faces those kinda things that you do.  It’s one thing to think about not being the only one, but another to know that you’re not and the other people who face it are your friends and are on your side, not so much the “misery loves company” issue, but more of “a cord of three strands is not easily broken”.

It’s also good to know that when you start to make a decision (like mine, to isolate myself from a particular group of people) that you’re not the only one making or having made that decision.

Sometimes people can hold each other together and face the world.  It’s always harder to face the world alone.
