Working ant or outcast hermit...

I meet lots of people who have lost their jobs. Isn't it strange how we are? As long as we have got a defined task and we believe that we know what tomorrow looks like, then we just complain a little but most of the time we're fine. But as soon as we don't have any defined task any longer, and we're unsure about tomorrow, then we get worried. Some of us can't sleep and many feel worthless one way or another.

To me it looks like humans are like ants, living in large hills, with some society were everybody has a specific task. Maybe that's in our genes. That's the only way we know how to live, unless one become outcast or living as some lonely hermit. Maybe that's what we are afraid of? That would explain a lot.
