Insecure Nation

thank god, we now never have to be alone again! Getting on msn via our mobile phones makes us permanently accessible…….and totally insecure! Total reliance on acknowledgement by others, acknowledgment of ourself in order to attain certainty of the self, and self worth. Dependence on the reinforcing sign that we are not left alone – is this a perfect example, taken to extremes, of the most human of needs?
that is to be wanted, loved, needed? Or is the disappearance of the conception of the independent individual who is certain of his/her worth without recall to reassurance to others?
