Forming groups is as old as life itself. It started about 3.46 billion years ago, long before any living thing started doing anything like eating, seeking shelter or having sex. Because we inherit group formation from the most ancient of sources, there is a push inside all of us to form groups and participate in them, and it's a push that's irresistible. We HAVE to be part of groups. There is no choice.
But experience shows that, any time you put two or more people together, things eventually end up going all to hell. It's unavoidable that groups fall apart and their members become unhappy. Recent experience on ALL proves that, because most of us were drawn to ALL precisely because we have problems joining and remaining members of groups (including groups of two people), and yet even we can't keep our act together enough to avoid having ALL turn into a cesspool of bickering (in which forum staff actively fan the flames).
It's like the push for us to form groups is some kind of death wish. I resent having that push inside me.
