Strength in Numbers

It is often said that there is strength in numbers. And for the most part it is talking about people, and the strength in the number of people. Why is it that there is strength in numbers, or is there really strength in numbers? I personally find that when I am in a group of people I am more willing to try new things, and I am not as scared. I am actually the type of person who doesn't like to do anything alone. So I prefer to do things with others. I don't think most people like to do things alone, so they find strength in others. When more people are around it is easier to feel safer and more secure. there is more than one person looking out for your safety. If you think of it if you were ever stranded on an island would you do better with just two people or 10. I personally would feel much better with ten people. there are more people looking for solutions, hunting for food, and it wouldn't be as lonely. People find strength in numbers, because you have more ideas and physically you have more strength. If you want to dig a ditch my chance, it is more likely to get done faster. Also if you have to solve a mental problem there are more people with ideas and solutions. When people stick to together it is easier to overcome things, but when it is all about fending for yourself things can become difficult. Having more people to support you, look after you, and help you can make any situation in life easier. So whoever said that there was strength in numbers was definitely right.
