There is no substitute for the comfort supplied by the utterly taken-for granted relationship. What really makes people happy? nor success, wealth, achievement, good looks, or any of those enviable assets. I believe the clear winner is relationships. “No man is an island.” We need to belong. “Aren’t all of us, even with people all around, susceptible to loneliness?” I think “yes” What ever the reason, everyone agrees that no matter what our age, we all have a deep longing for belonging. We want to be wanted, accepted, enjoyed, and loved. No one is too big, strong, talented, or tough to go without belonging. To share the experience of being alone for a long time. The need to belong is not just about feeling warm and accepted, however. it’s literally a matter of life and death. In my own experience happiness seems made to be shared. We need to belong, to find intimacy with others is so universal and even ordained, you maybe wondering, why is it so complex? Why is it sometimes so difficult? I wonder the same thing. We all need camaraderie, affection, love. whether we like it or not, each of us has an shakable dependence on others. Intimate attachments to other human beings are the hub around which a person’s life revolves.
