I agree with what you're saying. Sadly many people cannot be really free, they need to be part of a group, something that defines them.
In my opinion that's mostly because they never tried or learned to live with disregard of other people's opinions.
@blevley thanks for dropping by, Yeah, blame the domestication of people. We used to run free in the wild. But now it's all about conforming and trying to be something else. But there are still very few people who are not like this.
