There are times when you need help in the form of - total empathy. i.e. you want someone to feel the anguish and anxiety that you are feeling. And you want to "know" that they are feeling your pain. When you dont get that - from someone you expect to deliver - you get very very angry !!
This seems to be very human. But most of us dont realize the value of this, when we are not on the demanding side.
Even after the anger loses steam, the scar remains deep. Why is that ? I hope we evolve more socially helpful body mechanisms? Maybe 10 generations from now, we will be able to heal sooner or not even feel the need of other humans. Asimov does imagine such future worlds. Lets hope we get to live his dreams. Meanwhile I can deify such ideas with repeated recollections. Also I can try to deliver when the need arises for someone close.
