Two distinct ways of identifying an individual's lifestyle are attributed to the concept of necrophilia and biophilia. Necrophilia can be defined as the love of death and biophilia can be defined as the love of The human character is dominated by both forces, but it is important to identify which of these forces plays a dominant role. The dominant role dictates the relational life that we maintain with the world. The class of people that necrophiliacs can be associated with are members of. Violent gang members thrive on a love of death, posing a great threat to a human society that strives to be good. Gangs are built on the basis of loyalty. , lack of positive relationship with their main guardians. When one lives a life only for oneself, life is lived in vain. I remember a friend of mine who was involved in a gang lifestyle. He told me the main reason for his admission. the gang was the fact that the gang was his family. The gang took care of him financially and emotionally, taking the place of his primary caregiver. This love and loyalty convinced him to love death for the sake of his gang. Therefore, a selfish life leads to the love of death because of loneliness. The concept of biophilia, which is the love of life, is antithetical to necrophilia. Human beings who have healthy relationships tend to enjoy life. The sole purpose of their life is to live for others, thus making life a fulfilling accomplishment. The longer one lives for others, the more people tend to enjoy life and find meaning in their lives for others. In my personal life, I have met people who are not tired of life, but who love living every moment it offers. For example, my grandfather,...... middle of paper...... an organization. They claim that the role of a nonconformist is to come into conflict with society and its rules. Fromm and Emerson were fascinated by thinkers who broke free from organized societies. The main problem with their philosophy is that if the entire human race did not conform to society, the world would be destroyed. Laws were created to promote order and create balance for nonconformists. If there was no balance in the human entity, the world would be in chaos. A chaotic world is prone to destruction much more quickly than a world with laws and organizations. Works cited by Emerson, Ralph Waldo. “Self-sufficiency”. World of ideas 8th I claim.
