Abstruse reticulation of being

A single thread can connect two souls in a wonder of safety and contentment. If and when it is broken, the illusion shatters. some may shy away from this event. Some may run. And some, those ones that the rest of us yearn to emulate and cheer for, tie that broken thread back together. Making it stronger than it was.

There is a saying that we exist and thrive on connection with one another. That it is what we need to live. Do you think this is true for all of us? What of the ones that do not need connection? Are they broken? Or are they just different? A different side of the coin? Or even, just another side to a larger geometric shape that we call human?

I wonder about this from time to time. The many different social structures we have created. Based around connecting and disconnecting. Some live their entire lives without needing to be around others or even communicating at all. Isolating themselves and being at peace because of it. Finding the mere suggestion of touching someone else repulsive. Some find it impossible to not be in constant contact with others. Even to the extreme of needing physical contact to be at peace. Two very different extremes that equal the same result. We know all the variations in between that exist. Marriage, promiscuity, chastity, selective indulgence, etc. A social spectrum that changes into a seclusion spectrum.

Have you wondered why the majority of humans accept the norm of social interaction in society as natural? What I mean is, what if being social is actually an unnatural condition that is taught to be normal. What if, we are supposed to be somewhere in the middle? You can see it everywhere. Humans do just about everything in opposing extremes. Is this a kind of balance? A deeper connection we all have to one another that we don’t even realize? What if we act the way we do in such extreme ways, because humanity as a whole needs to balance. There are so many of us. So much shared energy mixing and changing. Could some of us be far more susceptible to this connection; that it forces to change our social need?

Or is this just what humans are? Bat $#!+ emotional storms of varied experiences without any unseen connection.

I don’t know.

What I do know is that when two individuals connect; no matter what the situation is, being human is a gift that can only be shared. Be it at a distance, or by the simple act of touch.

A toaster is just a toaster. Or is it more?

…

Ok, that was a bit too deep. Even for me. A toaster? Really? Well, if you can get that obscure reference I applaud you. I did a double take on that gem wondering where the hell it came from.
