Society is a society without which it is difficult for a person to live. The fear of loneliness is inherent in both young and old. But there are people for whom this is not fear at all, but a way of life - they feel free, independent. And why, in fact, a person cannot live without society?
Remember the hero of the popular book by Robinson Crusoe. Thrown to a desert island as a result of a shipwreck, he lived for many years in complete solitude. True, without needing anything, because in a tropical climate it was possible to do without warm clothes, and even managed to remove a lot of useful, necessary things from the ship. In addition, Robinson easily earned food, since goats were found on the island, tropical fruits and grapes grew in abundance. So compared to the drowned comrades, he could feel like a spoiled child of fate. Nevertheless, Robinson experienced a burning, excruciating longing. After all, he was alone. All his thoughts, all desires rushed to one thing: to return to people. What was missing for Robinson? No one "stands above the soul", does not indicate what and how to do, does not limit your freedom. And he lacked the most important thing - communication. After all, the whole history of human civilization testifies that only together, helping each other, did people succeed and overcome difficulties. It is no coincidence that the most terrible punishment among people of the Stone Age was considered expulsion from the clan or from the tribe. Such a person was simply doomed. Separation of duties and mutual assistance - these are the two main foundations on which the well-being of any human society is based: from the family to the state. Not a single person, even with tremendous physical strength and the sharpest, deepest mind, can do as much as a group of people. Just because he has no one to rely on, no one to consult with, outline a work plan, ask for help. There is no one to give instructions and no one to control, finally, if he is a clearly defined leader by nature. The feeling of loneliness will sooner or later lead to depression, and it can take the most severe forms. The same Robinson, in order not to lose his mind from despair and longing, was forced to take a number of measures: regularly kept a diary, made nicks on his primitive “calendar” - dug into a ground post, talked out loud with a dog, cats and a parrot. There are situations, when even the most proud and independent person needs help. For example, with a serious illness. And if no one is around, and there’s no one to even turn to? It can end very sadly. Finally, no self-respecting person can live without a goal. He needs to set himself some tasks and achieve them. But - such is a feature of the human psyche - what is the use of achieving a goal if no one sees and appreciates this? What will all the efforts be for? So it turns out that a person cannot do without society.
