no man is an island.

i use to hear this very often in primary sch. last time small dun understand.
now understand liao.
and i feel that yes, no man is an island. we humans are only capable of very small things, but in groups, we can do more and do better.
agree ?
no ?
whats ur view
-
everyman for himself
-
If life is infinite, every man is an island.

Just because mankind gets more done in a group does not mean that I need to get more done. I can happily live by myself and be an island and as long as I am happy with what I have, who cares about "do more and do better"?Originally posted by spadeTwo:i use to hear this very often in primary sch. last time small dun understand.

its practically impossible.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:OK, why not?
Assuming that you're knowledgeable.
when you have no contact with man, you will be overcome by so much boredom that it would actually turn u mad.
also take note of surrounding factors.
in the statement "no man is an island", the "island" refers to somewhere that may not even have wild life, are you sure you can eat grass for your whole life ?
my point is, humans need other human to survive. they cant survive on their own. they had probably turn mad, we are social creatures unless you tell me u got phobia of humans then differnt story liao right ? -

I don't think I will be able to communicate with animals. But if it's wild life, you will be on the run and always alert, lest you get eaten up or killed by them.Originally posted by spadeTwo:you mean you can communicate with all the animals ?

I don't really think one will that bored.
And if you really don't know a lot of things, you will be studying about them. With or without the help of a knowledgeable person.
You won't be bored.
You didn't expect, but it's true that some humans are scared of humans. There's a reason why I'm direction blind as well as why I hate going out. Precisely because of that. -
