Heat and Dust Comparison
According to William Glasser We are driven by five basic needs: survival, power, freedom, fun, love and belonging.
Many of us have been desperate and hungry to find a means of belonging within mediums such as Facebook, Twitter and My Space, yet we do not know with WHOM we should or should not seek connection. Our greatest sense of belonging is found in the relationships we choose. These can be found in friendships in school, sports clubs, church association and even in the pursuits of romance; and each holds elements that contribute to how we understand and interpret belonging in our daily lives. For instance the relationship we have all experienced, whether we are young or old friendship. A friend is the first person you want to call when you hear good news. A friend remembers that you don't like pickles on your sandwich. A friend will accompany you on the most boring of errands and make them seem fun. Such relationships become a necessity to each of us in order to feel like we belong. Belonging to others through the relationships we choose provides us with the strength to stagger through life, whether those ‘relationships’ are from friends or communities we tend to reach out to find our true sense of belonging, I mean friendships strengthen us. Through many generations we have seen the power of relationships, even those in unlikely places can create a strong bond. Many view friendship as the compelling tie that binds us to others, giving us a sense of structure, offering comfort in the most trying situations. It is this common connection that highlights the value of friendship in our sense of belonging; for what is worse, My Dear Friends, than not having anybody by our side to lean on, in our time of need?- That shoulder that’s always there to catch your head as it falls, driven down by the hardships of life. We can see such emotions through Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s superb novel “Heat and Dust” and John Lee Hancock’s passionate film “Blind Side”, both of which
