Groups:

The heart and dynamic soul of human existence, groups breathe life into psyche. They determine feelings about self, manners, values and more. To how many groups anyone may belong is countless: family, lover, company, friends based on topic, interest or purpose.

How close or how far each group member is to self flows and ebbs like a river that rises and falls with the rains. Some are fast and furious and gone in a flash flood of confused emotion while others meander and loiter in and out of days and years.

Groups work best when held in even numbers. Odd numbered members means one is always left out because people pair up in alliance for power and survival, to see each other’s point of view in agreement to preserve psyche. Third wheel comes to mind as common term. Odd numbered groups can survive if two do not gather to discuss one.
