No man is an island

Dear future hubster,
When Jaime Lannister said "things I do for love" before attempting child murder (it didn't quite work out, that's one tough family - please also see the meaning of stark in any given German(ic) dictionary), he was a bit restrictive.
It's not for love only, far from that. We go out of our ways and make significant efforts to belong somewhere. No matter how original and unique we are, there are moments when we gladly blend in and take a label. That moment, when the "them", the "you people" becomes "us" - admit it or not, it's comforting. You may still be on your own, but so are "we". Now we are on our own together.
