dependency theory
*Disclaimer* (about the other post) : when ya tough as nails nuttin can crap up ur system, which is why I'm absolutely FINE.
Tonight I wanna talk about the finer points of human relations, ma own sketchy but intensely deep felt 50 cents worth on why humans are a gregarious species. I call it the "dependency theory".
See, a person won't die being alone. Look at the history of "survivor-hunk-stuck-on-a-deserted-island" movies! (which, btw, accords no further need for proof that hollywood treats movie-goers like walkin airheads) And, unlike Tom, people living in any decent kinda civilization don't even need ter find their own food. So what's so hard about walking into a store, waving a bill at the cashier, and then filling your cart with whatever you want. So we won't die from the fact of being ALONE. Period.
Then why does everybody surround themselves with a complex, and complexing, web of family, relatives, 2nd uncle, 3rd cousin, long-distant ties that you see once a year on Chinese New Year, friends that do little other than fill up your msn list, friends that don't even make it to your msn list, buddies that disappear after a while, activity friends, hi-byes....
BECOS. In some ways, or another, we THINK that we need these people, or that we MIGHT need them some unforeseeable time in the future.
Parents have kids not so as some teenager would help them burn their lunch hour making trips to the principle office, or so that they can spend time worrying about the stupid kid making through his PSLE. Parents have kids because if one day they might turn wrinkled in the face and weak in the knee with arthritis and they would need more than just a retirement fund...
And relatives, oh i don't even know how to start. These people you don't know personally. You have no idea what's their pet peeves are or their happiest moments or whether they support freedom of speech or not. Everyone is cordial and"nice"(the one word in the english dictionary that means nothing at all), and binded by blood, which is the seal to a tacit agreement that each will thus commit to show extra effort and provide help for the other in times of trouble. Which is why it is not advisable or wise, and simply not "nice", to estrange these "relations".
*sleepy....this post is to be continued,tomorrow*
