“Much learning does not teach understanding.” Heraclitus

The realization that we're truly alone in this world comes much later in life than it should. In fact, for some, it does not come at all. Some think of this as a bad thing when in fact, there is nothing bad about it. Too much reliance on parents, extended family, friends and support groups is detrimental to an individual's life on many levels. On the other hand self-sufficiency, at least to a certain extent, is extremely useful.

The social and familial ties can then be perceived not only as controllable and balanced as opposed to dependency markers, but positive enhancements of yourself.

And then, the texture of your skin, your eyesight, the increasingly rapid beat of your jogging heart, the blob of happiness forming in your chest at the sight of your loved one, the ears of your friends a phone-call away, the hand of your family reaching out when needed, the pleasure of all things you've done yourself - for yourself and for others, are all healthily, and equally, yours. Nourishing them all means nourishing yourself.
