: In a post written to me, Cecil, you mentioned the importance of sexuality as "survival"...
Actually I was trying to say that survivavl was more important than the 's' word.

: This is indeed a frightening concept, ignoring self-preservation.
I meant survival as self -preservation as the same thing.

: If one NEEDS another person to survive, i.e., co-dependant, what happens when that person is not there for them?
We can't expect others to be there for them.

No, human beings must be strong, autonomous, independant, with a heart of teflon. One must learn to survive on their own,
Yes, agree.

make solitude their companion in life.
Yes and no. Only partial. The other must be other people to count on, help out, trade help and work, trade personal and physical needs, help each other survive by coordinating distribution of what humans have to offer each other to live together on the same planet with limited resources. We need each other for maintainence reasons. We all need to trade needs with each other.

This not only extends to breaking away from "love", but to God, government, society, money, etc. as well. People need to be completely detached from the world...the further away the better. Maybe its my Type 5 personality talking.
Yes, it's your 5 talking. Please don't break too far away. We need you. We need you and each other in order for all of us to continue to exist.
It's okay to need others. That's not smothering. Just make sure you make your own demnds back. If you aren't getting anything, then don't give to that person or tell them what they are offereing you don't need, tell them instead to start offering what you do need.
Cecil

P.S. Please don't leave. We need you. I need you. And you need us...
