We tend to lump ourselves into categories, right?
Like I am a Christian.
I'm a knitter.
I'm a New Yorker.
And we tend to care and support for people within our own group.
Jamil says these group identities may actually keep us apart in our everyday lives.

Right.
But disasters blow away these barriers.
So another element of this is people tend to bond with the folks they share their emotions with.
It's like a really basic idea, right?

Absolutely.
