Like Minded People

I think it was my dad who told me, or maybe it was an old professor, or maybe it was some guy at church...but whoever it was, I find myself more and more, feeling as though they were "dead on balls accurate". The search of Like Minded People.

The theory of Like Minded People:
~Search out those who are of like mind, who think similarly to you and befriend them.
~Rationale: Like Minded People share the same sets of morals and values as you do. Their priorities and preferences coincide with those you have. When choosing friends, life partners, and possibly even careers it is best to go with those that fit nicely into your life.

Now, I'm all for a meeting of the minds. Brainstorming sessions to come up with alternatives and other ideas. I'm all for sitting down with someone completely different and getting to know them. I like meeting new people and stuff. Most of the people I am friends with, are not like minded people with me. But I find common ground with everyone.

What the Like Minded People Theory helps me with is when I'm distressed and feel alone in the world it gives me a place to go home to. A group of people that, although we may be different, there is a common thread that runs though us, grounds us, and keeps us sane. I need these people, just as much as the world needs lots of different people.
