so often we homo sapiens succumb o spur of the moment feelings.. and start to believe we cannot live without this or that...

You don't really know whether you can live without something (or someone) until you give it a try..
and once you give it a try, it appears that we can do without a lot of things...

As some wise man (Socrates I think) said.. on looking through shop windows..

"So many things I can do without.."
