I think it's because he has cerebellar atrophy and is about to croak
So he lives alone.
And his family installed cctv to watch/take care of him.
And posted this video too...
That a treatment of a zoo animal.

I feel pity for the old man. Not very wholesome but it is outright depressing.,?

He forgot everyone but his wife because of his condition
I wouldn't feel comfortable being surrounded by strangers, but I'd be glad that family watches over me and feed me

To be the figure that you never had. Be it a good father when you grew up in a broken home with a deadbeat.
Or to emulate a late relative who made your life better, a passing of torchs for mentorship roles, such as wanting to be a good older sister for lil Mary the way Jessica was for you. As she was the biggest pillar of support for you growing and helped shape who you are today.

Wanting to raise kids, to see your impact on the world or help others and make a difference, be it in their lives or in the universe in general.

To find love not to fill a hole but to share this wonderful world with someone to share the good times and confide in each other's trust and build new memories together.

Baby, it's you
You're the one I love
You're the one I need
You're the only one I see
Come on, baby, it's you
You're the one that gives your all
You're the one I can always call
When I need to make everything stop
Finally, you put my love on top

If you want fun new character philosophies and perspectives on romance/family/friendship for writing purposes, the easiest way I know to find them is via personality tests and zodiacs.

I find the Enneagram types particularly interesting for this, but honestly, any of them work?

I did not read the previous posts after OP's question, but I believe the simple philosophy is that "no man is an island".

Human is a social animal and while some can function with little interaction of other humans, there is still that connection.

We see familial love as important (for those who actually felt it, for those who did not or is actively seeking it, good luck) because of kinship.

Friends because likemindedness and mob mentality. Apes stronger in pack.

Romantic because mates, be it soulmates or fuck buddies. We have a way to connect in a deeper than friends connection, sometimes involving insertion.

I dunno. Depends on when and where you live. If you intend to write it into a story, you'd have to imply all that baggage into the setting by, say, having the story take place in AU modern Chicago and then you'd have a stage for what would be needed to even begin to talk family philosophy. That may or may not work but will be only really applicable to modern Chicago.

The Internet and popular media makes it seem like people live and think the same everywhere but it couldn't be farther from the truth so what I, a witch whose sensibilities come from some 2,5 thousand years ago Macedonia, late Roman Republic, Early to Late Roman Empire, Early Ottomam Empire, Medieval kingdom of France, late German Empire, Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union and the beginning of Deng Xiaoping's republic of China, consider a good family philosophy would seem cruel, stupid, outdated and barbaric to you but so will your, an alchemical puppet's, ideas will seem to me.

So, even if I say that you should beat your kids (all 20 of them, no exceptions!) until they wisen up, will you listen or continue to grow soft retards?

Do we get to share unwholesome stuff now?
Here's a hot take on love: nature knew people were unloveable fucks so she gave people sexual attraction to bait them into mistakes (aka children) hahaha

Everyone must die. If you truly love someone... You would send them to an early death before they get too attached to the world of the living.
