The Core Social Being Desire: Social Support

Social beings tend to rely on each other in order to fulfill some of their basic needs, each person playing a role within the interdependent system.

Human beings, with an awareness of some of the more abstract, desire both physical support (things like food, shelter, physical intimacy, etc to support the physical body) and Psychic support: That abstract area related to emotional, mental, spiritual kinds of support.

The desire for affirmation in the mental realm, related to our personal beliefs, narratives, philosophies on how life is best served tend to be extremely strong in humans. We tend to want affirmation of others, showing that we too belong in the context of a group.... that we are valued by others... that others will help support our mental narratives and beliefs. We want to be supported for "who we are" in the context of a group. Even the "rebellious" who advocate that people "be themselves" often seek expression and an audience to feel affirmed that their actions are valuable and worthwhile to other people.

We want what comes from forming groups: Support that comes in the form of assistance when needed, allies, care and protection from potential harm. Humans desire care for The Whole Being.

Outer Input Versus the Inner Mind

Sometimes outer inputs affect and line up with the inner mind creating a kind of agreement between the two places of perception...

Sometimes they somewhat line up...

Other times the outer and inner can seem very much independent, with one creating a more dominant state of perception and experience over the other.... The different realities can be happening at the same time, both perceived by consciousness to some degree, but one state may sometimes become more hidden from view.

Missing My Emmee

This vague feeling of emptiness

Pierces through and through

At this moment if I could have a wish

It would be to come back to you...

I miss you, Emmee. It's been four days and I miss you so much.
