Dear Haben Joseph! I agree with you and would like to say that we all are individual and social or collective being at the same time. Other day I came to know a term "Parallel Play" in a New York Times Article and it says that "Although not a discrete developmental phase, engaging in parallel play is an important part of how toddlers learn to interact with others, share and become social beings. Think about kids quietly building their own separate towers with blocks or running around the playground without really interacting. Though they’re not engaging with each other, these children are also not playing entirely alone." For more details: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/24/well/live/parallel-play-for-adults.html. I also inherited nothing from my parents as my father died immediately after my birth and still struggling hard to survive. But I am not living on island and interacting with people to get help and give help as much as possible.
