Lone Wolf

You know, sometimes it feels like the most logical for us to do is pack up our things and get lost. As in, to go live in the forest alone or high up in the mountains all monk like. The thing is, its impossible. Humans are social creatures, we need other people to interact with lest we go insane. Overwhelming noise and clutter can drive a person mad and so can dead silence and stillness.

People need other people. Its why we're conditioned to have family and friends. Even the most shy or quiet of people have at least 2 or 3 people whom they consider close. Talking to one self is normal and usual when we contemplate things or are preparing for something but if the only person we talk to is ourself since we are "lone wolves" that is probably unhealthy.

Proof of this is that people are dependant beings. When we are young, we depend on others. When we are old, we still depend on others. Throughout our life we will always depend on others on some level and other people are counting on us as well.

Simply put, even elite commandos need teamwork. Actors who go "one man army" in films are woefully innacurate portrayals of how soldiers really work and doing so is actually frowned upon in the military. For example, snipers who are often portrayed as loners actually function in pairs. And that pair is integrated with another squad of infantry.

So stop thinking about living alone in a submarine and go out and meet people!
