Sinicism and synchronicity
Groups? They leave a lot to be desired. Peer pressure, addictive behaviors, drugs, alcohol, sex, gangs, and violence. We need them only for one reason... to continue the species, and, oh yeah, to practice relationships for when we need to do it for real with the Big Guy...

Psych
In my AP Psych class, we've just been learning about how people involved in social networking deal with stress better and live longer. It is important to be really close to Hashem, but that does NOT make humans and your relationships with them any less important. Friends are really imporant for moral support and for an objective view of oneself. For example, according to many commentaries, Nadav and Avihu wouldn't have sinned if they had discussed with each other what they were doing first. Discussing our goals with others helps us prioritize and work on ourselves and strengthens us that we don't have to do it on our own- we have plenty of help!
