In his book , An ordinary Man, Paul Rusesabagina writes
“Something magical happens to you when you join a group, a feeling I can only describe as a freedom…I felt it myself on various soccer teams when u was growing up. I Also felt it when I joined the staff of Hotel Milles Collines it is possible to lose oneself in the purpose of collective efforts, we embrace this feeling of being dissolved into something bigger because at our cores we are lonely….. That feeling of warm acceptance we get inside a group is addictive…. And when your individuality is dissolved into the will of pack you then become free to act in any way the pack directs.”
