Importance of Coexistence

In the history of Humanity, the ability to live with other human beings has not only been important but also necessary. He human being It is a gregarious being that cannot easily live alone. That is why coexistence between different individuals is a basic and elemental pillar of human life.

Living together is knowing the other and knowing how to recognize oneself as a social individual.

An important part of our growth is that moment in which we realize that we are surrounded by other human beings. This process occurs in the first years of life and it is a moment of great value since it is the first experience that we will have of a life that will be clearly social.

Recognizing ourselves as social beings is a central element to get to know ourselves better and to fight every day to establish a harmonious and peaceful coexistence. Although this is complicated, societies have always sought to establish norms and laws that allow conflicts to be avoided or prevented, as well as to sanction them in the event that they exist. Coexistence, then, has needed to be framed by different legal supports and social values ​​that educate us in tolerance or respect for others. In any case, these values ​​are never applied in their entirety since human societies are inherently conflictive.

Although conflicts between our peers or those who live with us always exist and have existed, we are currently witnessing a time of extreme individualism that often means that satisfying my own desires and needs makes me stop taking those of others into account. In addition to this, indifference to what the other feels, lives or thinks is also common and this adds problems to the possibility of living harmoniously.

The home of the child becomes the home of Humanity

The axis of all this social development revolves around the Home or House in which we fulfill all the basic needs and we have what is considered Coexistence, this being the relationship of two or more individuals within of a household permanently or temporarily, depending on the link or affinity that exists between its members. The home is the first space that we know and in which we stop being simple animals to become something different, rational beings and capable of learning, teaching, communicating, develop feelings complexes.

Within a home there are different Roles or Papers that are assigned to each of its members due to different circumstances, taking in the example of the family a hierarchy in which adults are the figure of Authority and Respect, imparting the different norms that seek to provide a Good Coexistence, the latter being the primordial. This typical hierarchy of the home is the one that is later reproduced to a greater or lesser extent in society, and that is why it is central coexistence within the family and home environment to learn certain patterns of behavior that will be useful to us throughout the life.

The importance of coexistence for the future of the human being and its difficulties

The fundamental thing to be able to achieve a human coexistence is that each one has his Limits and Rights, while for this he must comply with his Obligations, without which damage would be generated both for itself and for other members of the Coexistence, giving rise to discomfort and a bad climate within a home or any other area in which live.

It is very common today that many links between human beings are established around violence or hatred, resentment and revenge. This is partly due to the values ​​and ways that prevail in our current society, but it is also because the institution family (like so many others) has lost strength in the transmission of values ​​such as respect, tolerance, dialogue, brotherhood and the solidarity facing the needs that others may present.

When a conflict arises, it must be resorted to solving it through Dialogue and Consensus, since we must consider that all the parties involved will be in permanent contact on a daily basis, otherwise one of the people, if any, You can, you have the possibility of going to another home to be able to live alone or emancipate yourself by living in another home certain.
