God Says #itisNotGoodForTheManToBeAlone, so Why Doesn't #Companionship come BEFORE you 'Earn' it? #GenesisTwoEighteen
The discussion (you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' below)
probably gives hints as-to why some of us feel so
alone; but
first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words
better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the
words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases,
etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word |Companionship| is built on ancient words that mean "Bread With (see Com-, words that mean 'to Feed')" (that's the foundation beneath support-beams that mean "Bread Fellow, Messmate, Mate, Friend, Partner ... Loaf of Bread, Go, Fare ... Co-|Habitant who is Remunerated as a Friend-&-Equal rather than an Inferior.")
