Personally, i avoid absolutes.

Dear Joseph A Sprute

The day we can answer that question objectively, the human condition will be lost.

I could list many things: coincidence between tastes, expectations and objectives, commitment, interest, mutual benefit, money, fear, pity, the feeling of revenge... etc., but with certainty, depending on the people studied, these will vary or new reasons will appear.

It is a question that has its roots in philosophy and not necessarily in science.

Felix. good of you to write

my immediate reaction is to dispute. isn't that funny? we agree with each other, yet I "choose" to be alone philosophically. does this interest science?

ERES Human Definitions System seeks to answer a question in the future, when we are more "mature" as a species. the intent is to "look again" when 1000 years has passed (following the moment of my passing). you are welcome to associate your energy any way you wish. however, always be aware of the intricacies of words when mixed with those of others. which = witch ... and there is no substitute for what "nobody" can produce ~

absolutely envy, greediness, and none convince with what God grant him/her do enslave human

Sundus, sounds like being a slave to idolatry in your view?

It seems rhetorical: Does the question center on microsociological/ macrosociological or microeconomic/macroeconomic considerations? I think each of the above has a different kind of components to describe what ties people together. In other words, as far as human nature, is there anything like permanence with the exception of change?

Murtala, i understand your concern, however at the root of sustainability is the answer to this question, no? S = ? Whatever this is, = Human Performance Enhancement #EVOL

S=AVE (what is angelic?)

*

Salvation (what is worthy of sustenance?)

About (what is is is?)

Value (what is current, see?)

Energy (what is stratographic?)

Let's see your math. @#

I agree with @Joseph A Sprute

I was really surprised at the responses to the question 'What ties people together permanent?'

I took it as meaning 'why do people stick together?'

And my reply would be that they are compatible, get on well together and in the case of partners, have love for each other.
