STRENGTH AND SUPPORT

Have you ever saw a building with only 1 pillar? Neither had I. Yet that was what I used to believe in. That most things can be done by an individual, that the best form of coordination is no coordination.

Such arrogant way of thinking isn’t it? Perhaps such a way of thinking does have its merits, that sometimes, we have no alternative but to face the situation on our own. Yet the individual's strength can only be so much. Truth is, very often this is not enough. Tables have 4 or more legs; cars need 4 wheels for balance; a matrix need many support beams for stability, and a network need many terminals to function.

Friends. My friends are my source of support. This is the case for so many of us. Ever been down and out? Remember the persons who stayed by your side then? Remember the people who stuck by you no matter how bad the odds get? They are your source of support.

Yes, we are born alone, but we cannot live alone. We are, but social animals.
