It is no accicent we are so preoccupied with belonging, because at some level we all need to belong.
Whenever things aren't going our way, it is tempting to want to live in a parallel universe. Yet it is only by immersing our selves in daily life that we get to experience all it means to be human. Then we realise our mission is not only to celebrate the joy of friendship and family, work and home, but to deal lovingly and sensibly with friendships that have gone sour, with family feuds and office politics. As we do so, we start to see into the true nature of things - to look beyond everyone's fragilities and flaws, and realise that each of us is capable of immsense strength, imagination, creativity, joy, wisdom and compassion.
