I completely agree with you that humans need direct and meaningful interactions with others to thrive. I wrote a post about this a week ago.

I see the value of good relationships more and more as I grow older.
Fantastic post, by the way. Upvoted and now following.
I do too, @countryinspired. With age comes wisdom. If we don't have these connections, we wither up and die. I think of Gollum in LOTR. All he cared about was greed and the ring poisoned his soul. So does material greed. It's one of the seven deadly sins for a reason. Thank you for your comment.
