People need people - family needs family

"I once heard a lecture in which the speaker talked about the great redwood trees of California, those magnificent giants of the forest towering as much as three hundred feet in the air. "You’d think such tall trees would require very deep roots," the speaker said, "Actually redwoods have a very shallow root system, designed to capture all the surface moisture possible. These roots spread out in all directions, and as a result, all the roots of all the trees in a redwood grove are intertwined. They are locked together so that when the wind blows or a storm strikes, all the trees support and sustain one another. That is why you almost never see a redwood standing alone. They need one another to survive." Most people do too.
