Tuesday's Mental Musings

Is it truly possible not to seek some sort of validation from others?

Can we find personal satisfaction in what we do, what we accomplish and who we relate to without having a valid place in a group?
Is it truly possible not to want to be part of a tribe of like minded peers?
Or are we all eventually pushed into or adopted into a group by those who look on?
Do we fool ourselves into believing that we aren't seeking validation or belonging from others by aligning ourselves with those who are outside the accepted boarders of the social circles of the societies we live in?
In the end haven't we still become part of a tribe that accepts and hopefully encourages and validates our choices and actions in ways that we need to either succeed or fail at living the lives we choose?
And in some cases when that outsider tribe we belong to eventually finds itself inside the accepted circle of normal then what?
