RE: Is Seeking Connection a Glorified Form of Ass-Licking?

You're right. We should aim to secure connections as we go on in life. I think this is how we're going to survive as we truly cannot do it on our own.

Haha, one way or the other we've done some ass-licking in the past although not for malicious purposes. However I think there's no harm, provide the intention is good.
