Why join a group without purpose?

I started my group on February 15. I sent an invitation to my friends and asked them to do the same. I also asked why they would join a group without purpose.

Some of my favorite responses:

Charles D. wrote

To be a part of nothing is to be a part of something right?

Melissa D wrote

it sure seemed to be better than throwing my shoe against the wall for nought

James B wrote

I joined because of the simple fact that I have always wanted to be part of something that is really nothing.

Mark L wrote

Because every group on facebook has no purpose and at least this one is being honest.

James M wrote

The tree in my back yard told me to.

Bill M wrote

I am trying, in my old age, to do more and more about less and less. Or perhaps less and less about more and more. This group fits the bill. And the Bill!

So what does it mean?

What I am learning is that people like to be heard. Whether they crack wise or wax poetic the simple act of communicating to the world is fulfilling.

As I will show as I talk about later topics and answers, people have a need to be heard.

I hope that I am providing a virtual soap box where people can, if for only a moment, talk without being interrupted.

I invite anybody who is reading this to visit the group at:

A group with no particular cause or reason to exist.

I hope to see you there.
