We need each other for survival. Just like the old Aesop fable. The fable where the old father takes his three disagreeing sons out to the woods and tells them each to break a stick, and they easily snap the twigs into two. But then the father brings a bundle of sticks for them to break, and alas, they cannot.
There is power in numbers, in unity.
And I suppose that is right. Together we create an army, a force. We cannot live in isolation, for those that try to do so end up going mad. There have been unethical tests on babies, leaving them in solitary confinement, and they do not develop normally.
We do not develop normally mentally if we mentally isolate ourselves. Aloof, away, hidden, shy, whatever the reason, it only feeds the problem.
Together, together, together at last.
Be thankful for others, realize that you do make mistakes and so do others. Realize you would not be anywhere without others.
This has not become rambling, it has always been a stream of conscious. But now, here I am, together with everyone in the world, expressing what I feel and what I know about being together.
As a human being.
