Society

It is obvious to see that there are others in the world around us. More than not, we are different from every single one of these people. So, how exactly did society come about, and how is it able to exist? This is a question many philosophers struggle with, and often don't mention. Thus, I have come up with my own ideas.

The Purpose Of Society

The main purpose of a society is because people find themselves coming into contact with others as they find their way to their happiness. They interact with these people, trying to perhaps find their purpose in them.

How They Came About

This is pretty much similar to the above-mentioned idea. Societies began to form because people wanted their purpose, and they found that it is a necessity for them to interact with others. These people came to bond and cause a culture of their own, which leads to the different countries and such.

Exceptions?

Of course, it seems there are exceptions to every rule- including society. Most likely, you've heard of hermits who live all alone- often, they are portrayed as old men with long white beards. A hermit doesn't only have to be some old man; a hermit is anyone who wants to take time and do their own "soul-searching". People who continue living this life call this their purpose, and continue living away from society.
