“People run in packs because they don’t feel safe alone, I run alone because I don’t feel safe in packs.” This very notable quote of Mohmmad Ali holds deep meaning and understanding. If we learn to look at it from the surface level we can contemplate that it’s just a saying about group-oriented people and people who love being independent.
But if we dig and dive deep into it we will gradually understand that the quote holds a plethora of meaning according to the basis of our interpretation. Every individual holds varied critical thinking skills and not everyone thinks and makes sense of things evenly. The significance of this quote is that fear has always overpowered us we tend to believe less in ourselves and give easily into the opinions of other people. We also tend to jacket and cover up ourselves with the insecurities that the culture, people, and civilization have throbbed and have laden upon us.
We are scared of being alone. We think it’s better to be with someone (even though we know that the person is not worthy of our attention and time) than to remain autonomous or self reluctant. This is the bitter truth of our generation and this is how we are. But for Mohmmad Ali, when he says “I run alone because I don’t feel safe in packs,” he is trying to bring to our notice that, things don’t seem to appear the way they are, this means even though we think that we “might feel safe” in packs it is still our “thinking” and not the ultimate truth as we are unaware of the fact that who is our good wisher, enemy, etc.
People can’t be trusted easily because there are people who are great liars and manipulators. Again so to say it’s not wrong to socialize or he isn’t trying to say that people are bad it’s just that we choose good people in our life who will make our life a happy place to live. So according to Mohammad Ali, we must believe in ourselves, be confident and also learn to be independent.
