Hard-boiled

Human beings are awfully fragile creatures, with raw emotions and void hearts. This is an observation and perhaps a fact. It becomes a fact when it is realized.

People are usually happy being with other people. In a group setting, there is always laughter and rarely tears. Such social dynamics naturally bring fourth the cheery self.

This is in sharp contrast with the lone self, it is almost like stepping into another pair of shoes and adopting a different persona.

When it is realized that there are few or zero others a human being can have a true conversation with, a real pouring of emotions, it is a scary thought.

This is different from a rejection of emotional dependency on others, but a sudden jolt that hits and registers the difficulty of forming a real dependency on other humans.

So afraid and frightened, human beings lean on the spiritual world.

If not, they just remain ignorant and choose not to realize.
