Us Vs. Them...Us And Them

People in this world hate to be alone most of the time so they make sure that they surround people around them so this doesn't happen. It's sometimes a scary thought for some people to be by themselves at one point because they would be forced to listen to their conscience. Some people are scared to look back at what they have done and what their conscience has to say. So they circle themselves around the same types of people with the same types of problems and insecurities they have their selves. That is when some type of clique or gang is formed and go lurking for these people. I have witnessed many of my friends and family members be sucked into this "family" they claim to be. A gang or a clique to them is basically family... since those are the closest individuals to them; the gang members. They take care of them in many ways and make sure that they are safe where they live and where ever they may go, that the gang they claim is going to protect them from anything. I hate to hear that when my friend brags on things like that pretending it is cool to be associated with that stuff. He truly believes they have his back through the thick and thin... noooooooo... sometimes not even through the thin. Some may just run off and leave him when I know I will have his back when ever. But that's the situation turns into "Us Vs. Them" because that  shows that they don't have your back at all, I do, so therefore it's us versus those lames you hang out with. So when it turns into the stage when it's "Us And Them" is when my friend departs away from them but remains cool with most.
