Would such a life, lived in total isolation, with no attachments to other people, no love, and no groups to which you belong, have any meaning? Would it even be worth living?
Human beings are social animals, in whose life companionship plays an imminent role. The company of friends, family, or even pets with whom one can share their life is necessary for healthy survival. Sociality is a presiding factor that lays the foundation for shaping our thoughts, neural activity, and behavior. It regulates the way we present ourselves in front of authority, parents, peers, and others which plays a vital role in building rapport and hence emotional satisfaction. Our lives are woven in a way that our actions impact others surrounding us since we engage in acts of cooperation, loyalty, and moral concern, especially about our inner circles. A life lived in total isolation will restrict our growth as we would never be exposed to new people or opportunities. It will cage our thoughts and harvest life in a way that is narrow and conservative due to a lack of knowledge of the newer means. A life with no attachments to people and no love will make us void inside due to a lack of happiness. Having an innate nature of socializing, humans are driven by emotions that are compulsively intertwined with the actions and words of others. A few good words of appreciation or a hug can increase our serotonin level and lead to our well-being. Lack of the same can lead to a monotonous lifestyle occupied with one’s own closed thoughts- mostly negative. It is not worth living such a life as it means no scope of growth or enhancing our life for the better. One cannot stay behind closed walls all his life.
