No man is an island. Just like a line in a song, “Walang sinoman ang mabubuhay para sa sarili lamang”. It means that no one can survive only by themselves. Every one of us needs care and love given by other persons, like family, friends, and someone special, in order to progress. We need them to share our feelings with and to communicate with. Without them life is worthless.
Man is not only a political and rational being but man is a gregariously social being. Man is a gregariously social being means that we must communicate and mingle with others because it’s our nature. We are made to speak, feel, and listen. It is not a duty to do, but is a way to progress you.
A society is an individual and an individual is a society. Society is a group of united people working as one and is counted as one. Every one of us is special because we have our own participation and contribution to the society. It will never be so called society if there are no people uniting themselves in a common goal.
As a whole, we can’t live by ourselves only. We will need others, the people around us, to help us progress and show our true colors.
