Not only to drive solitude from our lives,
Not simply for the act of procreating,
But in order to evolve to a higher level.
Evolution requires transformation
That can come only through experience.
When we stop learning from others,
We deny ourselves the ability
To attain greater enlightenment
For the historically soothing comforts
Of remaining the same.
A simple truth is that while
We need others in order to live;
We require other people to
Reach our full potential:
As friends, as lovers,
And as individuals.
A mirror to reflect actions;
An institution to provide learning;
A harbor to give safe haven
When life's undercurrent
Threatens to cast us off
Into the oblivion of despair.
Stay true to your covictions-
That core that rests at
The base of who we are,
But stay malleable in deed,
As there is always another
Way to be learned from
Those who have done it before.
