People Who Need People

There is much talk, especially in women's circles about not needing a man to complete them. The “You had me at hello…” scene from Jerry Maguire struck a chord and brought movie goers to tears. But as actor and Mother Earth element, Tom Cruise stated in the first part of his "You complete me" speech, he said “We live in a cynical world!” We want to connect with people, and yet after suffering heartache and heartbreak, we are afraid of getting hurt again. So, when a connection loses its strength and breaks, we try to convince ourselves that we don’t need anyone else. That we can be complete without other people; our parents or partner, our family or friends. That we can complete ourselves.
