Birds of a feather

As the old saying states,”Birds of a feather flock together.” Animals and people tend to migrate to groups with like interests; that is the way life works. Watch large groups of people who are just milling around and they will begin to form small groups composed of people with like interests. People first find their groups by looking at those with a like outward appearance, which give clues as to a person’s culture, sport interest, hobby, job, and race. Military people will congregate with those of their service, college people will congregate by fraternity or club, gang members will congregate by gang, etc. At first, some people may congregate by race, but as time goes by, they tend to refine their choices and find groups with specialized interests, regardless of race. However, some people with no specialized interests may stay with their racial groups since they tend to have the same general cultural interests. If you look closely at the groups, you will find the occasional elitist who will purposely associate with a group with whom he or she has no common interest. This person will initially show interest in the group but then begin to criticize other groups for not joining with them. This type of person thinks he or she is better than everyone else because he or she is culturally diversified, when in fact all the other groups could care less about diversification; they are content with their groups and with people in other groups. All the elitist does is draw attention to him or herself and suffer under the delusion that this makes him or her a better person.
