All of the worst things in human history have happened as a result of mob mentality or 'humans coming together'.

On the contrary, the only times humanity doesn't sap me of the will to live is when I'm dealing with people on an individual basis.

> All that wander are not lost.

I feel like you're misunderstanding that quote as well.

It's supposed to be "Not all who wander are lost" and it refers to loners, wanderers, vagrants and explorers that never settle down and 'plant roots'.

The idea being that there are plenty of people that exist like that and enjoy that way of life. Other people with families and steady jobs tend to look at them as if they are 'lost', without truly understanding what it is to walk the earth.
