People

Like tends to Like...yeah. Well, seeing scenes play out at my workplace got me thinking. From my position in my workplace, I get to oversee a large group of people. It's so easily discernible that there are distinctly identifiable groups within this one large assembly of people. I've observed that a person tends to gravitate towards another whom he identifies as mirroring some of his own personality - someone with whom he shares the same wavelength. So, you have groups of the 'intellectual top performers', 'the in-with-the-times dressers', 'the populars', 'the we-care-two-hoots'ers', 'the not-fitting-into-any-other-category so let's stick together people'...


Whatever happened to all the wisdom about being in the company of people with excellent qualities so you imbibe some of them and so, better yourself? That would probably have led to more diverse groups or at least groups that you couldn't slot into any one category.
