The attitudes people develop towards one another are in accordance with the operation of the properties. The properties dash upon the properties in perception as well as activity. It is not the subject perceiving the object, rather it is the properties beholding themselves externally in space-time. Any definite manifestation of knowledge, capacity or conduct in life is an expression of the preponderance of a particular property of Prakriti. It is this predominance of the properties that is responsible for the formation of groups, communities and even nations.
Individuals form themselves into societies to fulfil a particular aim or interest.
Birds of the same feather flock together. The relationships start later on due to the working of the properties through the bodies, senses and mind, in an active manner. The inborn inadequacies and weaknesses of the human individual make it impossible to live without cooperation from others. The primary weakness of human nature is selfishness, which takes many forms such as desire to subjugate others, exploiting others, dishonest behaviour with others and, in the end, battle with others. Conflict is essentially born out of non-regard for the value and existence of other persons and things.
