Not sure I follow that one. Are you trying to say we all need one another?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Marty. This says it all.
ReplyDeleteNo man is an island.
ReplyDeleteCheers, ic
True ...sometimes we hate society but without them life is unimaginable !
ReplyDeleteThat is the pith of life, NP. A beautiful reminder.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly doesn't mean fabulous cash and prizes. At the end of the day (or the beginning or the middle) we find meaning through and with each other. Beautifully said Marty.
ReplyDeleteWe need one another.
ReplyDeletetrue, very true
ReplyDeleteEven a hermit living on a mountaintop has to come down to the people sometimes, if only to check his lottery tickets.
ReplyDelete"I think therefore I am" is wrong? That bastard Descartes. The aphorism hinges on human and meaning, that humans are social beings who can only find the complete self in other people. I like that idea, for thinking by yourself is a lonely enterprise. Thanks for the aphorism n.p. You always engage my mind, and most times engage my heart.
ReplyDeleteMost engaging... but endearing is another matter.
ReplyDeleteAnother mind boggling phrase. However, there may not be a need to define human being to start with.
ReplyDeleteVery poetic, Marty! To be a human being we need to be with other human beings since no one is an island.
ReplyDeleteso true
