Do humans need others to survive in society?
Why are all the questions tonight making me think of show tunes? People who need people are the luckiest people in the world.... Actually, there is evidence that a child who is denied human companionship will fail to thrive and eventually die. People literally need other people. Socially, I don't have to be around a lot of people to be happy, but I do need a few key people with whom I share a close and personal relationship to be happy. I can be happy when I am on my own for extended periods of days, but eventually, I need to return to human company to be fully alive. In my experience, what I share with another is more satisfying that what I experience alone. The loneliest vacation I ever took was to Las Vegas, Nevada, without a companion. I was surrounded by people, but I did not have a single person with whom I felt close. I was glad to get through the trip and get back home. Added as edit - back at ya, titou! "...the success of any social system depends upon the continuing awareness of those in it of their mutual dependence." Excellent insight. When people feel disconnected from those with whom they share mutual dependence, they are more likely to engage in destructive behaviors--destructive to the society as well as to the individual. Hopelessness in an individual stemming from disconnection can have devastating results. When entire communities feel as if they are cut off from the protections and benefits of the larger society, we get situations like Oakland, California. When it happens globally, we get chaos in Darfur and Gaza. We need one another on the grand scale as well as on the personal scale I originally described. There you go again, making me think! :)
What is human nature?
Its probably the only thing you cannot really define in its entirety. However if you want to categorize it according to social and biological standards it is possible.It is basically a mix of brain hormones formed by past experiences. However, some people never learn even after having repeated the dame experience.A psychologist can go on and on forever but, you can use the apple example to get a simplistic idea of human nature. Imagine a personality is an apple with three parts:1. The skin- the part of a personality which is shown to random strangers and even those you meet regularly (the milkman and the gardener) How do you define someones skin? Is she basically pleasant and polite? Does she ignore you? Is she rude often?2. The flesh- This part is the part which most people close to you know. Hanging out or living with someone brings out another personality in you. And of course you behave differently with different people. The sum of all those various behaviors. Is it basically good or basically bad (bad and good being social definitions here)3. The core- most people don't know this part of your personality. What you really think. What you really feel. The entire complicated stew of emotions that brew up inside you. Does the stew stink? Or does it give out a pleasant aroma?With these three parts you can rate or define human nature in a simplistic manner as good-bad-good, good-good-bad, etc..Hope this helped, wish I had more time for other details..
Can somebody tell me every thing they know about libra girls?
I'm a Libra and so is my daughter. I'd say the biggest thing is a need for things to be fair. Throughout my life, the most upsetting events to me were when I was treated unfairly or when someone close to me was. I guess that's why the scales are Libra's symbol. I also think Libras sometimes have a hard time making decisions because they see both sides of the issue. I'm not sure what sign it is recommended that Libras marry, but I'm married to a Virgo, and I can't imagine a better marriage than mine. I hope this helps - Go Libras!!!!
Can utopia ever exist on earth?
If there are no people, then certainly! But human nature is too flawed for us to ever create a utopia. Of course, people can have personal utopias, where one person believes everything is perfect, that's just a matter of opinion. But as long as people are people, not everyone can be happy. Plus, it's true that a utopia is a completely fictional state of mind. The word "utopia" actually translates to "nowhere," because human nature just does not allow perfection. :)
How good is it to have a life partner exactly opposite to you and/or same (nature) as you?
Okay .. where do i start..I am a hardcore non vegetarian. she on the other hand pure vegetarian.I am an engineer and she is a doctor (you know how much difference will be there for these two professionals).I am an atheist and she is fully devoted to worship, temple and all that stuff.I would like to be an introvert, speak less , to be alone,too much practical, not lose temper in short.. she on the other hand , talkative, extrovert, eager for center of attraction and always want to be engaged in a crowd,sensitive , short tempered..she doesn't have single percent ego .. she s ready to apologize even when its not her fault. Me bit egoistic(may be more) doesn't bother to talk whenever there is an argument.she feels whatsapping is part of her life.. me on the other hand hardly texts people..she wants her marriage to happen like a grand festival.. Me feels that it's waste of money and simple hall should be fair enough..Even in small things our opinions vary( she hate jackfruit, I love it more than any other fruit)..Only common thing we found between each other is we both like black color . Other than that Everything is different.And , we are in successful relationship for 7 years and counting.. She completes me and I complete her. In my point of view, Opposite poles not only attract, they form a strong bond between each other.
Does a strong bond between two people always means love?
No.A strong bond can be (evidenced by long-term captives) forged between a captor and their captive even though the captive may hate the captor. The bond is formed of necessity. This is one reason why people can be kidnapped, held for years, and, given the opening to run, will not. They have been reliant on this person, their captor, for the very life they breathe in, and it can take a great deal of undoing to help that person, once rescued from captivity, for that former captive to know they no longer have to have that bond.However, the bond is not love. It is survival.Another example is how the bond formed between people in romantic relationships is easily mistaken for love, due to the emotional history(ies) of one or both parties. The bond I speak of is the situation where the “only thing left” of a relationship is the “love” they share. They do not want to give up because they believe the love will take care of their differences.Such bullshit is propagated time and again.Time spent together does not equal love. They just don’t realize that.Most people want to believe they have a love strong enough… for anything.It’s not the love that isn’t strong enough. The “love” is the scapegoat for keeping people together who really need to be apart, be it romantic or platonic relationship.It’s the relationship built on the idea that it is based on love which is not strong enough.Love doesn’t pay the rent.Love doesn’t beat up people or play mind games.Love does nothing itself. Love is an emotion so varied and complex no one can take it all in.Love shared between two people can mean a close bond, but not always vice-versa.I love my animals, consider them people in my life. It is a stronger bond than any human love I share. A stronger bond, not a stronger love.Don’t mistake love, in any variety, for a close (trustworthy) bond. Don’t confuse a strong bond (built on what aspects, even?) for love. They are not mutually inclusive.
