	Well, the reason that I posted that in the first place was because
someone (I forget who) posted something saying that living alone was
"lonely and unnatural". I guess if I were to define it I would say that
what I wondered was if anyone thought that people had some natural
instinct to marry and/or commit themselves to someone else, or at the
very least, to live with other people. And were people who weren't in
any of these situations because they didn't want to be denying these
natural tendencies and therefore were not "emotional balanced" or
whatever.
