Air, water, and food are essential for human life. A person can live without air for a very short time, without water a little more, without food even more, but nothing can be completely excluded because this will inevitably lead to death. Some of you may not yet know that communication is necessary for a person's life, and it also can be excluded only for a limited time.
To punish a criminal who is already serving a sentence - sitting in prison, he may be placed in a room for a while in which he will be alone, and this is punishment, because in this way he is denied communication, and he can't stay there permanently without a threat to his life.
You may have seen some people talking to pets or even inanimate objects. I do not presume that animals have a soul, but I know that they, like objects, cannot answer. Then why talk to them, and not just talk, but imagine that they are responding? Because in this way people satisfy their need for communication.
Each of us has a different level of need for communication: some have more, some have less. Women have a higher level of need for communication than men. Those who are engaged in creative activities have a higher level of need for communication than those who are associated with the exact sciences. The artists constantly need a standing ovation, the more fans, the better they feel. Each of us chooses the path corresponding to our character, and if we are mistaken in the choice, then later we feel out of place, out of the element.
To satisfy the need for communication, it is important who we communicate with. We divide all people according to the criteria of the value of communication. Try to imagine your familiar divided into several groups. The first group: these are those you hug or kiss when you meet, and this is dictated not by a ritual, but by your desire, the same group includes those you immediately begin to tell the latest events from your life, share your emotions. The second group: these are those who tightly shake hands, perhaps even take an elbow, and at the same time not only say hello, but immediately exchange several phrases, such as how are you, how was the day, or how did you spend the weekend. The third group: you silently shake hands or throw a dry "hello". The fourth group: who you don't even greet. This is roughly how we determine the value of communicating with different people. As you may have guessed, communication with people from the first group is the most valuable for us, and the value of the following groups decreases. Of course, the number of groups can be more or less, the boundaries of the groups are conditional and can be blurred, the groups can consist of one person. Each of us himself determines the composition of the groups and gives an individual assessment to each group, and in most cases, it seems to us, this is done unconsciously - intuitively.
To satisfy our need for communication, we need to communicate with someone, at least one, from the first group, and if it does not work out, then we try to make up for the lack of communication at the expense of more from other groups. We will not be able to make up for the lack of communication with close people, those who are most valuable to us, by communicating with unfamiliar people whose value is not great for us. But, such communication, such a diet, allows us to hold out until the moment when we can share emotions with a close person.
Sex is the highest form of communication. Sex with a stranger to satisfy animal needs cannot be compared with sex in which we share emotions with a person who is dear to us. No matter how pathetic it may sound, but it's true.
A thousand likes on social networks will not help us satisfy the need for communication, and it does not matter if we liked it or we were given it because this action is one-sided and does not imply that we will be answered, and to satisfy the need for communication, a dialogue is necessary. Communication using electronic devices cannot replace communication with a living person without intermediaries, because even if we are sure that we are in dialogue with a living person, we see that our words are addressed to an inanimate object, and we often trust our eyes more than common sense.
