SENSE OF TOGETHERNESS

Togetherness is a feeling which lies in all of us. A feeling of togetherness shows how dependent we are to one another which is why from a very young age, growing up in a family setting, we’re taught to care for one another and as time progress, we learn to extend that sense of care and commitment to relatives, friends, neighbours and even strangers and this is what helps to build a stronger sense of togetherness that allows us to come together for those special occasions even with people we’ve never met before, for example our daily commute consists of taking the same train at the same time every day, we eventually notice the same person having the same routine. At one point we both acknowledge each other which lead to a smile or small talk; this is the sense of togetherness, it may not have occurred to you at that time but this small gesture could make the person feel valued and cared for, without this sense of togetherness, we’d be very lonely with little or no meaningful interactions.
