Why does one want to socialize?

What is the incentive behind it?

According to the dictionary,

Socialize means that people spend time together for pleasure,

Means talking,

Talking,

Talking,

Expressing,

Expressing,

Expressing,

For a sense of fulfillment,

Pleasure.

And also there's another meaning,

According to the dictionary,

That people or animals are trained in a way that others in the group feel suitable.

Well,

To the speaker,

These two meanings are rather similar.

One mind is being verbal,

Is trapped in verbal things.

And socializing becomes a very strong need to find such an occasion to express oneself,

To get this immediate satisfaction,

Pleasure,

To forget the sorrow for a while,

But which only brings both more sorrow.

Can one really see the incentive behind it?

We are not condemning socializing,

But we must understand what is the incentive behind it.

When the mind is not isolated by verse,

By thoughts,

By the desires to fulfill oneself,

Does one still want to socialize or not?

As one is becoming older,

The mind is more and more trapped in verse,

Becoming more and more neurotic.

Socializing for these verbal expressions becomes more and more tricky and difficult because the mind has been so trapped in verse.

There are numerous reactions to verse,

But the mind is still trapped by the past experiences of the pleasure of socializing and want to reproduce it.

Can one see the desire behind it?

Can one see this whole process is a sorrow of living because it's a pattern?

To end the sorrow is to see the pattern clearly so the mind can end the pattern in full attention.

The pattern is the mind is trapped in verse,

So the mind is always want to fulfill,

Want to pursue,

And the mind is trapped in this perpetual and constant isolation by the verse.

If one is really serious and observes carefully about the socializing occasions,

It is a bunch of people who are isolated,

Get together to make pleasure for an immediate satisfaction.

It's a group of people escape together.
