I've been thinking...
That inherently somehow what we are NOT we believe will fill us. We always seek what we don't have.
In the case of this thread, we don't have 'socialness'. So it will be the 'filler' that completes our lives.
However, once we attain it, we'll just find something else we lack, or that if we DO attain it, we have to trade off something else we ALREADY have in return. We will never be satisfied.
Life is a giant balancing act; we trade-off what we value against what we value less. In the end, we have to realize that the past decisions we made were the best ones we could have made for ourselves at the time, and that we just have to accept who we are.
This does not mean to say self-improvement is not valuable, but simply that we need to take it all in stride and just be content with how we are, despite our constant evolution (hopefully towards the 'better', however it is defined for each person).
