Read the passage and answer the questions below: The famous Greek philosopher Aristotle said, "Man is by nature a social animal." What he meant was that man, by instinct, seeks company of others and establishes relationships much like most animals of the wild, for companionship and for physical and emotional support. Unlike the animals, however, man's relationships give meaning $\to his existence and inspires hiim \to do well in$ education, in workplace or in a profession that he pursues. Relationships are of different kinds. Some are familial and intimate, formed by blood and by marriage, some are social like the ones we have with friends and some are made in school where we form close bonds with classmates and teachers. Relationships can also be fostered in work place, which may quickly change from professional $\to$ social. There are relationships also between human beings and animals, between children and their toys that they cannot part with. All these relationships keep us close $\to each other and provide us all kinds of$ support, love and affection. A person who has no family feels the pain of loneliness and isolation. There is no one $\to laugh or cry with$ him/her. When we share our joy with someone, it simply redoubles and when we suffer a loss and someone shares our sorrow, it lessens. Relationships are thus needed for our emotional health. $\to build$ relationships, we need $\to have trust and respect for each$ other, and love where this is needed. We cannot be selfish and possessive if we want $\to establish an effective$ relationship. But quite often we see people quarreling and fighting with each other which only brings misery and loss $\to$ all. A.
