'Love and connection' is one of those necessities for the human identity, and one of the ways to get such love and connection is through celebrative events. Such events = Food + Gathering + Talking + Television. Well at least those are the primary things, there are a few others I won't bother to think about...

Today's the first day of the Lunar New Year... and I confess that, I don't really like it. Well, other then the food and money that comes with it, that is. Anyway.. I won't bother moving into matters too personal here... So, happy new year.

Humans depend on each other a lot, we live off each other directly or indirectly and share our pains and joys together because of our existance on this planet. (/common sense) One reason that is harped on by the world concerning dependence is this something called love. And as I've mentioned before, unconditional love commited by humans is something practically impossible. I won't go into all the cliched and mentioned types of love, kinds of love, definations of love and true love etc. here, but one thing that I will go through is something called pretended love. Perhaps naming such a concept by the adding an adjective to a noun is kinda inappropirate, but with that idea of pretence crusted into love, I'll go rant.... later.

//------------ -------------\The Bands of Dependence
I'll make my characters shape with two analogies:-

The Food Chain (I learnt this in primary school)

The Sun
The main guy, the supplier and source of the energy. Its not exactly practical to label any human as 'Sun' because no one is really that worthy of living for, with and by totally in full dependence on. No one, except God. Perhaps humans, neglecting the presence of him, would have chosen another object to be their battery and idol. Whether the promise will stay is dependant on that battery and its ability to stay constant within changed circumstances.

Plants
The direct recipient. Work needs to be done still, when light is recieved from the Sun. That photosynthesis is necessary for the energy to be recieved. However, like plants, the process of photosynthesis is somewhat hidden and cannot be seen. But it doesn't mean influence would not erupt, the influence of knowledge that photosynthesis is existant would be from how green the plant is --- chrollophyll (or whatever the spelling is lar) This chrollophyll, the requirement for photosynthesis is, in fact already in the plants in the first place. I.e. The use of the recipient is just a tap on, a draw on of power.

On the practical level, 'plants' would be those who depend on others for a reason, with simple logic. They are growers from aspirations that would be sown in them to produce their wanted aim. Such dependence is seen as friendly, as perfectly all right and most probaly, the best sort of dependence that is around.

Herbivores
The second reciever in the process. The first thing to notice, that this form of recieving actually destorys the ealier recipent, in the process of eating the guy up. Of course, the bowel movement of the latter would help the other potential direct recipient, but thats simple for the herbivore to do. Herbivores chew plants directly, without the latter fleeing from him.

On the practical level, 'Herbivores' are the ones who feed depend on others, only for the want of their own benefits, but it doesn't want to erupt any bad feelings between both parties --even though the recieving may be in fact, destruction. Such dependence is seen as harmless and its mostly viewable from cases where people want to be politically-correct. Its also in situations when someone is ready to backstab or betray, or situations where people assume that they love and try to love.

Carnivores-- and Omivores
The third and/or third-cum-second reciever in the process. Now, there is a fight that can be seen between the herbivore and carnivore. Such violence would represent obvious unrest and negetivity of the dependence.

Practically, such dependence is selfish and shunned. Its a one-sided dependence with no acknowledgement nor 'yes' from the other party. It would mean monologucial shows between both parties with one acting desperate/angry/over-caring/unsensitive etc. The omivore, as deduced, is the someone who transcends and combines between both reciving ways.

The P2P Program (Stuff like Kazza)

The Hosts
Sun-style, this guys has all the lobangs and keeps all the main stuff. The stuff, usually given out free, shows full intention of a want to impart that the Hosts desires to budge as such. They want only to be depened on, nothing else.

Sharers
After grabbing enough stuff on their buffet plates, these guys go back to consume and share. They are kind enough and partial dependence is okay for them.

Leechers
They take stuff from the Hosts and the Sharers and don't share their stuff. They want to depend on and not be depended upon.
\\------------ -------------//

From the bands, many specific personas and proflies can be infered and some other traits outside that field might come to mind as well.

Now theres the thing I was talking about earlier.... Pretended love.
Seriously, its not hard to see.. basically its everywhere.

Simles on their faces, questions hinting with concern, words that show that they do not want to irritate, voices that make sure they soothe.
The fakery is always lingering there so that no one will disappoint and so that no one will digest negetive emotions. Its almost as if humans had learnt this new ability for the sake of avoiding negetivity. But then again, its probaly not new.

Everyone knows... everyone can tell.

And no one cares.


The Rooster Crows.
