Interactions, pt. 1

Days pass and the earth continues to turn. The sun rises and falls while the moon follows the chase. Seasons change as all things do. People are born as babes and die in the course of their lives as they develop uniquely. In this lifetime of a human, interactions are bound to happen; even the most hidden of hermits have encountered other people at one point in their lives. This interaction, like the continuation of seasons and passings, is sure to happen in all lives. One is not born a hermit, nor is one born without parents. Though these principles are common knowledge to many, there is a place that exists where human interaction is not bound to happen. People, if they so desire, never come in contact with others.

Though parents are needed in order to birth a child, infants do not need to rely on their parents for their needs. There is no interaction if parents choose this for their child. Orphanages operate with automatons to feed the children and computerized databases and files for these children in order to know their needs. As the children grow and learn and mature, they choose how to go about their lives in the orphanage. The most interesting thing about this is that when I arrived in this place, all the inhabitants wanted to meet me and thus were forced to interact with each other.
