Perhaps it's my theory; or is it my unwritten hypothesis? It's not a proven fact, but just a personal observation. There are some people who geniunely need other people. At least in their minds, they cannot live without other people. And I must say that I'm not speaking of co-dependency. There are people who geniunely do not need other people. At least in their mind, their lives are better without other people. And I must say that I'm not speaking of anti-social behaviors. There are lyrics in a popular song that seem to address this topic: "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world". For the longest time, I did not understand the meaning of the song. It's nothing that I really talked much about, but I think I really get it now. I once had an overseer and friend whom I considered to be a 'social animal'. In other words, It seems he had an addiction for people beyond normality. I'm not sure if he felt pulled to them for their better well being, or wealther there were wounds in his own soul that required unusual social connections. Anyway, perhaps the song is right; people who need people are luckier. Some are less social, but human nature seems to compel us towards each other. 12072017 PS Contest, People. 4P
