No man is an island

This should be a post that has been posted long long ago. But I never got around to doing it.

No man is an island.

I bet you`ve heard of this before. When I heard of this last time, I poohed and pahhed. I know we humans are social creatures but, we can choose not to be right? With our amazing brain, with all those thoughts running through, surely we don`t need others.

Well, here`s the result of the experiment on lab rat No. 1, nicknamed Joyce.

Negative.

There is no way no how anyone can live a life without any human contact, or lack of it.
We all need other people. We need to talk, communicate, socialise with others. If not we just don`t function properly, get into moods, think too much. Generally, dissapearing into a little world we create for ourselves.

Today I had a long conversation with lab rat No. 2. I guess everyone falls into this experiment somehow or another. I hope rattie 2 gets on well and resolves it faster than me. All the best! :D

I know its hard. All those conversations with the mousies. They are just so different from us ratties, you know. We all speak the rodent language, but boy is the insides different. We talk bout running wild in drains and sewage, they talk bout cozy homes tucked with straw. We talk bout discovering new frontiers and hidden jewels. They talk bout the lattest cheese invented. Sometimes we worry that our crass behaviour might offend the mousies, scare them off. But you know what, I as rattie No. 1 says that it really doesn`t. Maybe the mousies aren`t made of such soft stuffings after all, huh.

So to all the ratties out there, just be your rattie self. It will all work out well. Trust me :D
