As humans we have the innate desire to be liked, admired by our friends, colleagues, family and acquaintances. As a child we are showered with love from everyone. We grow up in a loving environment and mature into adults with a unique personality.
This is when things get a little complicated. We desperately try to make our place in this world, try to make sense of our being and the destiny that needs to be fulfilled before we eventually die. All this while our hunger for affection and love stays alive. Our friends move out to other places, we move to other strange places where we harly know anyone.
The most happy feeling we get in this scenario is when some one completely strange and new comes into your life and starts to like you, for your personality and not just your looks. It is then you realize that you have grown to be a mature, responsible and nice person.
