Simplified Meaning:
People naturally want to feel like they are part of a bigger group or community. Just like how students in a classroom feel good when they have friends to study and have fun with, everyone wants to feel included and connected. For example, being part of a sports team can make someone feel supported and important, because they know they are contributing to a common goal. This sense of belonging fulfills a deep need we all have to not feel alone or isolated. To apply this to your life, you could join a club, volunteer, or spend more time with family and friends. Doing these things can make you feel happier and more connected with others.
