At the end, we will always be alone even when surrounded by a thousand loved ones but this is a feat we obfuscate and have difficulty accepting. Even when we are born our family show us love,care for our needs but in the end it is left for us and our body to utilise all that it gets in its functioning.
Humans are gregarious beings but the extend to which we socialise and build relationships depends on our experiences, personality and environment. We all have a person or more whom we hold dear and may entrust our affairs to.
Our family will show us love, support and care depending on the relationship we have developed. Our friends will defend our honor, swear their loyalty to us and even try to help us overcome our deficit. All these display of care and love have made us believe the truthful lie that we are not alone.
From conception to the time of death we will always be alone and accountable for our deeds. Our loved ones learn to love us and care for us because of that which binds us together :friendship, humanity and family. As we grow older, we need people to associate with, to talk to, connect with on every sphere of life hence we start a symbiotic sometimes parasitic relationship with the ones we call friends.
We may never realise that we are alone till we reach crossroads where no one can see except us. Our actions have a direct impact on us and those around us. When we allow others make decisions for us, the consequences of the choice they made for us will always be our responsibility to bear hence we need to always reevaluate our actions and plans because even under the law everybody is accountable for their actions. Even a child will reach the age of legal freedom where the parents will allow the child decide his life choices himself but given advices, counselling and guidance so they don't go astray.
People may weild this "You are not alone" concept into a weapon to defend their selfish goals. We may truly be alone by being responsible and accountable for our actions but we can't deny that the experience knowledge and emotions we are exposed to by our friend, enemies and loved ones are part of what builds us and makes it easy to survive everydays challenge.
Socialisation and building relationships is a very important key to our survival but in whatever you do, always realise that you will always face the consequences of your actions directly or indirectly because even twins are different beings. Make choices for yourself or watch the world and environment decide your fate while you helplessly watch and have to take responsibility for the choice.
Determining when to seek support, take responsibility, plan and socialise with people is all we need so we would never be overwhelmed by people and factors around us because truly we are alone.
