entangled

18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” - Genesis 2


and then god gave man a support that suited him. im not trying to focus on the creation of woman to serve man, im looking at the fact that god saw adam alone and gave him community. 'it is not good for man to be alone.' this goes for any human being alive. we need interaction, we need to be entangled with people, we need each other to survive-much more than we think. this alone shows the weight of our interdependence: as punishment, criminals are banished, exiled, put into solitary confinement. being alone is painful. we are meant for community and interaction, humans are meant to be a big, messy, intertwined ball of string

hello god. help me continue to be there for people who need me. help me spot those who are alone. help me to be a helper
