My Theory on the "History of Us" in the World

As I said earlier in the "History of You," when civilization began, we worked together in order to grow. We never questioned why we needed each other because the reality of "why" was clear. This is a big world, with the deck stacked against us. However, 130,000 years has passed since then. We've built and grown; learned and changed; and reexamined along the way. Through that unfortunately, we've experienced life; created comforts and conveniences; and lost the reality of what got us here along the way... each other.


We weren't born to "fit in" to this world, that is true. But we weren't designed to be alone either. I absolutely cannot do EVERYTHING, therefore I do need other people to be "capable of anything." If I want to survive in this world, I'd need food, water, and shelter. To believe I'm "meant to be alone," means I don't need anybody to survive and thrive, because let's face it, no matter what "societal views" I may have in my brain, I am a human. True, I could find a deserted place of land nobody currently owns. I could grow a garden and hunt for food. I could even find a way to build shelter for myself, one nail at a time, if I had to. Does this mean I could be meant to be alone? I'm a person capable of taking care of all my basic human needs, and I can entertain myself. But am I "alone?" What is my entertainment? How did I get the seeds to plant my garden? Where did the tools come from to hunt for food? Shelter requires materials. Do you really believe you were simply meant to be dropped in the wild, with nothing but your birthday suit, and left to figure life out completely on your own without ever interacting with another human?


Being introverted, struggling with relationships, and difficulty communicating with others does not mean you're "meant to be alone," it simply means what it means. You're private or shy; guarded or careful; influenced by your experience with others. We find ourselves through our interactions with others in this world. The key to successful relationships, is simply finding the people in this world, you're willing to build and balance "Life" with, and growing together along the way.
