Certainly not with that attitude!
I don't require commitment, therefore I am not interested in a spouse.
Remember: I am not you.
- nashashmi 3y agoYou are human. And humans are social creatures. Every human requires five social elements: Communication, Mentorship, Teamwork, Dependence, and Servitude. Commitment is just a framework holding some or all of the five elements.
- thomastjeffery 3y agoIt's "a" framework, not "the" framework. Therein lies my entire point.
- nashashmi 3y agoYour argument was, you are not me. But you are.
- xracy 3y agoI'm so confused how this could be the case unless you're actually arguing with yourself across 2 different accounts. The alternative is definitely that you don't understand that people are different from you, which is pretty wild to me.
- nashashmi 3y agoObviously the individual is unique. Nevertheless some common rules pervade across all individualisms. The OP tried to argue certain rules don’t apply to everyone because everyone is different. I think the OP is wrong on which rules don’t apply. Social creatures are social, and even if a person is an unsocial natural hermit, that person still must be a social creature. No form of individualism or uniqueness can take that away. The OP tried to argue he was different. We are the same.
