Companionship and it's Truths

It is natural for a human to want to reach out to someone, and have the desire to not be alone. Curious though, why do we, the most successful and powerful animal on this earth and possibly the galaxy, have the need to depend on others of our kind. Most animals in nature stop depending on others of their kind as soon as they can learn to sustain life on their own. And like the sea turtle they can be independent as early as birth.

Is it our non-animalistic ways that drive us to such companionship? That with our higher intelligence we can learn how to love, appreciate, and take care of one another. A blessing at first glance, but under the mask there lies a curse with it.

I have found that love and the desire to be close to someone can be the most powerful motivator in our world, that the thought that when I am to lay my head upon my pillow and wake in the morning, that someone would be thinking about me as well. Through companionship you can accomplish so much more than that of being alone, through the act of sharing ideas and conversing.

I have found that I wish to never rely on another person for a very long time, until I can look in the eyes of the other and know that it is permanent. Because permanence is very relevant when it comes to companionship. As highly evolved animals, we do not adjust to change very well, because the act of adapting is an animalistic trait that I think has been lost in time. So when what used to be companionship and dependence get’s thrown away in an instant, the human brain simply can’t handle such a crisis.

And with this, we have lost most of our ability to recover quickly and go back to our natural survival instincts of depending on no one but ourselves. Most likely after something like this we go through a withdrawal stage, craving any type of affection from others, and even sometimes becoming a completely different person in order to handle the situation that is now their life.

The more I think about all of which I have just written about, the more I grow tired of searching for companionship myself. I wish to be a person who depends on nothing but the food I make, the water I drink, and the ground underneath my feet. Love, friendship, and even someone to talk to are something that I will never take so lightly anymore. That when I am so dependent on myself, I can finally then reach out towards another and share my world with them, use the gift that was given to all human beings, the ability to love.
