H2IK

AJ once told me that the idea of a man knowing everything about something is folly. His word, not mine. He said that man, by his very nature, is dependant on other men. We need each other to survive. The problem is getting anybody to admit that. As a species, we pride ourselves on being self-sufficient. Why ask a stranger for directions? We’d rather stay stubborn and lost.

Like it or not, man by his very nature is dependant on other men. We call ourselves explorers… independent… courageous… but what are we without the support of our brothers? I mean, how far do we truly get if we try to do everything alone? When the simplest, smallest thing can drag the whole world around you to a halt, I want peace of mind. I want to rely on my brother. And know that he’ll find the wrench if I don’t.
