The Paradox of Connection and Isolation
We deeply crave intimacy and understanding, yet no one can fully access our inner world.
” We’re born alone, die alone, and yet we spend our lives seeking closeness.“
Why is this relationship important and what does it say about human. Throughout the course of history to modern day I suppose that there has been those constantly longing for relationship and connection with one other human. Yet often times these wishes are rejected or pushed away leading sum to go into self isolation to protect themselves. With our society being a class and rank based society social status and connection is what it’s all about. From Greek life at colleges to card groups for seniors a sense of connection with others is craved so deeply in our world. My piece will work to highlight how the over pursuit of connection can lead to isolation or otherwise even worse in some cases.
