why do I have to have to need people?

[mopinko]

if I could just kick that nasty habit, everything would be fine.
I don't even think I like them. why do I care if they like me?

4. The lesson of the beehive

Is an emblem of industry, and recommends the practice of that virtue to all created beings, from the highest seraph in heaven to the lowest reptile of the dust. It teaches us that, as we came into the world rational and intelligent beings, so we should ever be industrious ones; never sitting down contented while our fellow-creatures around us are in want, when it is in our power to relieve them, without inconvenience to ourselves.

When we take a survey of nature, we view man, in his infancy, more helpless and indigent than the brutal creation; he lies languishing for days, months, and years, totally incapable of providing sustenance for himself, of guarding against the attacks of the wild beasts of the field, or sheltering himself from the inclemencies of the weather.

It might have pleased the great Creator of heaven and earth to have made man independent of all other beings; but, as dependence is one of the strongest bonds of society, mankind were made dependent on each other for protection and security, as they thereby enjoy better opportunities of fulfilling the duties of reciprocal love and friendship. Thus was man formed for social and active life, the noblest part of the work of God; and he that will so demean himself as not to be endeavoring to add to the common stock of knowledge and understanding, may be deemed a drone in the hive of nature, a useless member of society, and unworthy of our protection.

5. Because you're not an anaerobic bacterium.

[mopinko]

14. can that be arranged, do you think?

a nice short life in a warm animal's gut sounds good.

[elshiva]

6. Because you are human.

:hug:

[ThomCat]

7. It's not so bad once you realize that they need you too.

:)

:hug:

[mopinko]

9. but when will they realize?

toiling away, taken for granted i am.

[ThomCat]

10. Damn. Being taken for granted sucks.

:(

I wish I could make them wake up and appreciate you. If I had that talent I imagine I'd become very rich and popular very quickly. :P

:hug:

[mopinko]

11. let me know when you get it.

would you share it with me? you can have it 3 days, i will take it 3 days, and we will let the world fend for itself on sunday.
deal?

[Orsino]

13. You are descended from umpteen generations of people who needed people.

You can fight it, but you can't disregard it.

[mopinko]

16. yeah. i give that speech sometimes.

about humans being social animals. about the conundrum of trying to be a self contained happy person, but being a social animal, you can't really.
still blows sometimes.

i am hoping that as i get older, and the whole family instinct thing fades away, i will become an old crone living in a cave somewhere, eating bat soup.

[mcctatas]

17. switch to chicken....

i hear it tastes just like people...

[mopinko]

20. bwahaha
