Remember that movie? A group of young friends come together years later and find they are not who they thought they were.
That is truly a profound message, because there is an innate human tendency to need to find a group of people we can belong to who can be trusted to think just like us. But IT DOESN'T EXIST.
In the 60s, straights thought anyone with long hair was bad, and hippies thought everyone with long hair was good. Neither was true. But we were just the latest groups to fall victim to this kind of thinking.
I have a relative who was raped by a young military man who she let in to use the phone. In those days, many people would have thought the same. Now of course, we know different.
I'm sorry to tell you, but the comfort of a group who thinks just like you isn't out there.The fact is, we must judge each person individually.
Because each person IS an individual.
