4. Social Animals

I just had a realization of how important it is that your happiness not be dependent on someone else's actions...behaviour...availability...

Everyone knows this.... but still the brain defaults to depending on others for gratification, love and happiness.

Human is by nature a social animal, an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human.
— some Greek philosopher

Is it a curse that humans by nature are social animals? It sure does feel like it many times.
