Attention

Do humans live for attention? Someone said to me today that if they had no one in their life then they wouldn't know what to do with themselves. And I found myself asking the same question. Would I be able to manage alone? It seems every inch of our culture is surrounded by companionship. Sherlock Holmes would be nothing without Dr.Watson. Bridget Jones would be nothing without Mark Darcy; Kate Middleton and Prince. William. So do any of us own independance? Is independance simply surviving as a person? Or is it surviving as a person and not lusting for anything more? And if we don't lust for anything more, then maybe we aren't ready for life. So maybe attention is something that we all want. And if we can't get that attention, then we will just have to wait...
