Absolutely true❣️
"One of the things that we have discovered, which is quite interesting, is that human beings have a
psychological need to be cared for, but they have an even greater psychological need to care for others, or to care for something. If you don’t have that you basically fall apart. It’s why old people get
dogs. We don’t just care for each other because we need to maintain each other’s lives and freedoms,
but our own psychological happiness is based on
being able to care for something or someone."
