Society is a society without which it is difficult for a person to live. The fear of loneliness is inherent in both young and old. But there are people for whom this is not fear at all, but a way of life - they feel free, independent. And why, in fact, cannot a person live without society?
Remember the hero of the popular book by Robinson Crusoe. Thrown to an uninhabited island as a result of a shipwreck, he lived for many years in complete solitude. True, without needing anything, because in a tropical climate it was possible to do without warm clothes, and even managed to remove many useful, necessary things from the ship. In addition, Robinson easily earned food, since goats were found on the island, tropical fruits and grapes grew in abundance. So, compared to the drowned comrades, he could feel like a darling of fate. Nevertheless, Robinson felt a burning, excruciating anguish. After all, he was alone. All his thoughts, all desires were directed towards one thing: to return to people. What was Robinson missing? Nobody "stands above the soul", does not indicate what and how to do, does not limit your freedom. And he lacked the most important thing - communication. After all, the whole history of human civilization testifies that only together, helping each other, people achieved success and overcame difficulties. It is no coincidence that the most terrible punishment among people of the Stone Age was considered expulsion from a clan or from a tribe. Such a person was simply doomed. Sharing responsibilities and mutual assistance are the two main foundations on which the well-being of any human society is based: from the family to the state. Not a single person, even one with colossal physical strength and the sharpest, deepest mind, can do as much as a group of people. Simply because he has no one to rely on, no one to consult, outline a work plan, ask for help. There is no one to give instructions and no one to control, finally, if he is a pronounced leader by nature. The feeling of his loneliness will sooner or later lead to depression, and it can take the most severe forms. The same Robinson, in order not to go mad with despair and melancholy, had to take a number of measures: he regularly kept a diary, made notches on his primitive “calendar” - a post dug into the ground, talked aloud with a dog, cats and a parrot. when even the most proud and independent person needs help. For example, with a serious illness. And if there is no one around, and there is no one to even turn to? It can end very sadly. Finally, no self-respecting person can live without a goal. He needs to set himself some tasks and achieve them. But - such is the peculiarity of the human psyche - what is the point in achieving a goal if no one sees and appreciates it? What will all the efforts be for? So it turns out that a person cannot do without society.
