It was said that human beings are social animals. Some might argue human beings should be not called

animals, but it's true that human beings are social. Therefore, it's of no surprise that groups or organizations are

almost an indispensable part of most people's lives.

Most people are afraid of being alone, and for them, being with others is one of the most natural needs. Being

a member of a group is comfortable. If an individual has gone so far as to being considered isolated, rumors arise.

Others might ponder: what is the matter with that solitary individual? No one would like to be wondered that way.

Being a member of a group is also interesting. Every one has his/her own special means to pursue happiness, for

example, he/she might be keen on music concerts, or be fond of stamps collecting. By joining a special interest

group on his/her pet topic, he/she can easily find many people whose interests are similar to his/her, and can share

his/her pleasure with those who can really appreciate it in a proper way.

Many people find group or organizations are essential because they know a simple and never-changed fact

that every single individual on this Earth has only limited resources. Groups or organizations are always the best

choice for an individual to emancipate himself/herself from limitation. By joining a group, an individual is able to

share his/her limited resource with others, and share others' resources in turn, therefore is virtually able to reach a

much larger amount of resources. The most popular resource-sharing activities exist in the Internet. There are

numerous BBS on almost every particular topic on various websites, which always makes copious valuable

materials readily reachable. No matter what a person is interested in, for example, music, movie, books, or

whatever, he/she will find a right group to join on the internet.

In fact, any individual in a sense exists in a certain group: either he/she is a member of some groups, or he/she

is a leader of a group. Either way, the group is critical to him/her. People cannot achieve greatness solely by

themselves, regardless of their status in the group; they need others, for help, for support, and many other things,

since nobody is entirely independent and omnipotent.
