We Need Each Other

When I was in college, I read a book written by a couple of psychologists, Roy F. Baumeister and Mark R. Leary.  Apparently, these two "really smart dudes" conducted a study on the fact that a great deal of human behavior, emotion, and thought is caused by the need to be accepted by someone.  According to Baumeister and Leary, the desire to form relationships is nearly universal among human beings, and it is a fundamental human motivation.  Our well-being and happiness is dependent upon close relationships!

Simply put, and in "Mama Leisha" terms:  We all need love, people!  We need each other.

We need each other for encouragement.

For peace and hope.

For motivation.

For laughter.

For inspiration.

For joy.

And for friendship.

Mother Teresa said, "The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread."  What a gift we have, that we are able to "feed" those around us.

Remember to be kind to each other, my friends.
Remember to take care of each other.
