What I came up with the other day was Why do humans feel like they need to be with someone?
This line of thinking wasn't born out of depression, more an observation of the world.
All the romantic movies out there revolve on "finding someone" and it seems to be a condition of the world.
One of the first things that popped into my head was the scientific argument. It's evolutionary. Survival of the species and all that. It's ingrained in our DNA to find someone in order to pass on genes and ensure future generations. That made sense when the human race was hanging by a thread and needed every possible candidate. But what's the excuse in this advanced day and age? We don't actually need someone else to survive. You'd think that over time we would have evolved to the point where we no longer feel like we have to create more little humans...the world is overrun as it is! Maybe it's that we're social creatures. But what makes us social? What fuels the need to be with someone? The right someone.
I'm mind-boggled.
