Relationships

As usual I was out on my balcony enjoying my favourite smoke while enjoying the morning breeze and the sunrise contemplating on whether or not I should pay for a certain online subscription. A little background though, the service seemed very intriguing and it would deliver to my email account certain, geo-political, scientific and other fascincating facts and how they are related to current news. The operative word here is related. Seeing the potential value it hit me that man being a social animal defines his needs on a relational basis. In other words, whatever that we do, we compare; the relation. I for one feel that in order for one to be successful one must know how to relate and the key to that is through knowledge. How else can we relate if we did not have the facts?

That is how the world is defined as well. Everyone, wants to be associated and identified with the most popular, most religious, richest etc. If we were alone how would we go about our daily lives? Well for starters we would not know what to do. We would be lost. Interaction is key. We would not know what is good if we did not know what is bad. We would have no concept of poor if we did not know what is rich or what constitutes rich. We must strive to gain knowledge enough for us to relate.
