Social Network

We, the humans are social beings. I have heard that many times and have wondered what that exactly means. Do we need each other and if Yes, why?

We do feel need to share our emotions. Unless we do that we don’t feel it at all. Just imagine that you buy a brand new car and you have no one to show it to, no one to appreciate and no one to share the joy? Ha…It will be meaningless. So does it mean that our joy is dependent on others? Or we do want the joy out of comparison Or we just want others to react? Don’t know!

I asked the Buddha (The Blissful One)
What is the reason we need people around us and why do we want to share the thoughts and things with them?

He answered me,
We recognize ourselves as beings and that too different beings because we have separate bodies. When you start recognizing yourself as Mind and then as Soul you will find that everyone is One and Same. We are just thoughts manifested as bodies. So basically it’s like iron particles that move together with magnet. All particles have same nature but can be separated and seen different identity. All of them share the same properties. So similarly we always are connected with each other by thoughts. Try to connect with people of your nature and you always will find yourself happy.

Right! I have seen people who started their journey in search of God leaving behind family and friends. They reached Himalayas and after a short time they started doodling faces and names of their dear ones on the walls of the caves. There is no point in leaving anything to search for peace. It’s inside us and we can find it with our fellow beings, connected, always!
