“No man is an island.”

Yep, agreed. Our lives are shaped by the people around us, mainly our parents, our friends and colleagues. Each and everyone of them contributes to what we are to be. Some people has a big effect on our lives, while some don’t.

But sometimes having friends can cause much misery and pain so much so the idea of living like a hermit begins to sound tempting. Why can’t we just cohibit amongst one another without an ounce of jealousy? Why do we always have to plant seeds of mistrust and the false believe of being better than someone else?
