philosophy part II:relationships - the human archipelago

I was going to write about the thought process and how i believe that affects behaviour, but when i look at it that can be summed up and better explained as the way we relate to others. I believe humans are the most social of animals and that our relationships are the most important part of our existence. i personally can not live without relationships.

in our world there are a limitless amounts of relationships, but they can be summed up into two different basic categories, good and bad. good relationships range from extreme (love) to mild (friendship) to basic (aquaintance). these relationships do so much for us as human beings, and not only bring us closer to other people, but closer to ourselves. this sounds incredibly cliched, but i only feel complete when i have another half to share everything with.

to those reading this who know me very well, i dont think you'll be surprised. when im in a relationship, im serious about it, but sometimes i get carried away and i completely fuck it up and thats a story im not sharing. i think that relationships are incredibly important because they link one person to another. this might not sound like much, but lets use an analogy. for example, think of each person as an island. self contained, able to do everything without anyone else. now think of a relationship as a bridge from one island to another. as you can imagine, this makes each individual island more efficient and able to do more.

another analogy is the internet. basically the internet is a collection of servers all linked together. to those who understand how it works, use that as an analogy for human relationships and you see what im getting at?

this one probably doesnt have as much meet in it as the last one, but i promise the next one, on existence, will be very fleshy... unless you think im going on a bit too much... let me know
