People Are Amazing

Sit down and buy someone a drink, make appropriate interested noises, and within 20 minutes you have their life story. People want to talk; people want to be heard and understood.

Amazing really; truly fascinating -- what we really find the most engaging is ... ourselves. We're built to share, to communicate. It takes some damage to knock that out of someone, whether by violence, neglect, or betrayal. Sad, that.

In the beginning it was not so.

The LORD God said: "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a suitable partner for him." Gen 2:18

Adam said,

This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; This one shall be called 'woman,' for out of 'her man' this one has been taken." Gen 2:23
