Its amazing to me how dependant humans are on other people, at every age. Morrie had a quote regarding Mitch as someone who is afraid to attatch to others, to need others. Considering one theory of our existance is one in which we evolve and have to fight for survival among predators, it seems unlikely that we would need each other so badly. My baseball coach keeps saying OSS, Only the Strong Survive. But is it really true? We as a species are so intelligent, but as infants and as old people we are definatly not strong and cannot survive on our own. Most animals can survive on their own weeks after birth, if that. Horses can walk the day they're born. Birds live on their own the second they have the strength to fly. But humans have to be nurtured and cared for and loved for a much longer period in order to survive. And yet, we rule the earth. The Genie girl who was isolated for many years couldnt do anyting for herself, which proves our dependance on others.
The dependance isnt a bad thing. It developes us into who we are. All humans are effected by their environment, especially their families, and usually for the better.
