A Place of Belonging

How important is it for human beings to have a place where they belong, where there are people who know them and love them?
The importance of a place of belonging is different for every person. Some people believe that it isn't important at all and prefer to be alone and isolated. Others believe that the most important thing is life is family, whether it be blood relation or emotional. I believe that it is important as well. I think that for someone to have a healthy life that they should have some sort of a strong family base. If you have a family it is much easier to interact with other people and form new and long lasting relationships. Your family from an early age will also help to set your values and how you view the world in general. For example if you are Jewish and live in Israel chances are that you believe that all the land in Israel belongs to you. However, if you are Arab Palestinian then chances are that you believe that all the land in Israel belongs to you and that the Israeli's took it from you. So, even though these two different families live literally only a few miles or less apart, they have completely different views. That is why I believe humans should have a place were they are accepted, so they can develop into a person that is respectable and lovable.
