Why are people separated? why do we live so far from eachother?

Question

You dont ask for money, you dont want to reach the sky or be famous, the simplest most enjoyable thing in life is to be with someone you love. Whether its family, friends, or a significant other. Why do people have to separate?? Why do we need planes and boats and all these things to take us half way across the world, why cant we all live togehter.. why cant we be close to the ones we love? I will never fingure this out. Life is a *****, sometime.

Very weird question i know

Answer 1

Well for one thing, we would not survive. We would just eat all the food there, and have to branch out again. Plus, its just basic biology to utilize space. When your riding on a bus or a subway or something, do you see everyone bunched up into one area? No of course not, we want as much space per person as possible. Now living with family is something else entirely. You can have all your family members in one spot, but what if there are no jobs open there for their career field?  What if their spouse wants to go with the same plan as you, and have all their family together somewhere else? Its a romantic theory yes, but in execution, its just not pragmatic.

Answer 2

Some people don't want to be around other people, for a reason.

Not all relationships work out, and you apparently are not old enough to understand that, its really not that black and white.  Your missing grey.

Answer 3

Because your job requires you to be somewhere else (we don't ask for money, but you need it in order to survive), or maybe you just want to live in a different place for awhile to experience new things.

Answer 4

The root is the interstate transpo system (roads) being built in late 1940's through the 60's and technology making transportation and communication easier and more efficient.  Now staying put is a choice whereas it used to not be an option.

Answer 5

"Sacred Psychology of Love:  The Quest for Relationships that Unite Heart and Soul," Marilyn C. Barrick, Ph.D.,

"Expecting Adam," Martha Beck, Ph.D.,

"The Great Divorce," C. S. Lewis,

"Testimony of Light," Helen Greaves,

"Hope Rising," Kim Meeder, all help figure this out.

Answer 6

You are much right. Even I do think so. But you see, it is all a game of God. Our world is developing. Ideally, we all need to live close together. But you see, the present day world forces people to move away from each other in respect of place due to realistic reasons like generation gap, personal grudges, work area or personal success. There is an apartment somewhere, I don't know the exact place but it is so big and wide that the entire city comes in that one apartment only. But the rest of the world in not yet that developed. But in spite of these, thanks to the modern technology like the internet and cell phone which keeps the whole world connected if not practically at the same place but at least through technological devices. Wait for the next 50 years and you will see a better world for all of us to live in together hopefully with peace, happiness and harmony.

Answer 7

it's a very weird question, as you said, but also very interesting. i think that we live separated because we are afraid, afraid of showing our true selves to others, afraid of their rejection, afraid of opening up and getting hurt. Even if we have a lot of friends, do we really tell them our innermost fears and thoughts? No, we don't. When someone tells us their problems we, deep down, don't really care. We're selfish by nature; I really regret that this is part of our humanness, because if we could just open up and share, then we would really be more happy.
