The Disappearance of Humanity's Intimate Connection

"Connection": The act of linking, joining, or associating two or more things, or the state of being related by physical, logical, or emotional ties.

Why has connecting on an 'intimate' level as humans seem to have gotten more difficult?

What used to come natural as we host other in our homes, talk about life sitting across from each other, and longing to make memories with one another seems to have become a never ending cycle of self-isolation resulting in historically low-levels of friendships (and surrounding categories).

Reasonably, divisiveness is at an all time high. Led by the powers at be and resulting in our hatred towards a simulated perspective that we're told is held by those closest to us.

May we, dear fellow traversers of this confusing existence continue to pursue connection with one another. Allowing space to be different and experience life together once again.
