But the basic truth of our realm is that everyone needs someone to share it with. People have found many to share their paths. The well trodden path is easier to cross than the pioneering one. The people we share it with can be our friends, lovers, enemies, whatever we deem worthy, whatever we choose. Only someone to share all of our being with.
Every religion has a way to solve the problem of how to share ones path.
Marriage, soul searching, many others that keep us together for all times. Everyone needs someone to share it with, but it is not so easy to assume that there are ones to share it with for everyone. Some people never do find someone. These people follow three different, but in the end, very similar journeys. The weakest of these people go mad.
