/^t/How many times did you wish to live on an inhabited island? Only nature and you; just like Robinson Crusoe. When you are fed up with work, family, your dog, naging telephone, the world around you, in general, the only thing you want to do is to escape from all this mess and live alone. But if you think of Robinson Crusoe again, could he live in loneliness for a long time? No, he could not. He missed other people, he talked to himself, at last, he met Friday and civilized him. His story proves that no man is an island. Right from birth untill death we are used to live among others. At one time we need people; at the other they need us.
