As a related note; with Matti we discussed mostly themes about human group behavior; different concepts about organization and co-operation, tradition and peer pressure and the basic human need to belong to a group.

I think that my encounter with this random drunkard was a good example; he was looking for company, and wanted to share his findings with me. He needed help getting down to the street. Making jokes and engaging in a shared physical activity of making funny digging gestures in the air - this kind of things reinforce a feeling of being-together. Which he also expressed with touching, leaning his head against my shoulder in a very friendly manner, as if we were members of an ancient tribe lost in the urban city. And in his discussion there was a subtle tone of seeing the bypassers as "those others who are so busy that they don't have time to notice all these important little details", and us two as "those who have time, those who know something special, those who are united in this fascination of hidden details." A lone human lost alone in the wilderness is sure going to be eaten by predators. Safety is with ones own group. And when kicked, pushed and bullied by the mainstream society, a lone drunkard is still seeking for his own tribe, a group which would walk with him, stand by his side and offer a network of mutual help.
