Are you a believer in connection? Are we as a human race wired to each other? What do you know about 'connection'?

**heretostay** · 11-19-2008, 12:46 PM

No I am not connected with anyone!!!

I am my own person and I don't need you guys trying to force your beliefs on me!!!

People get lonely without other people, not unlike the way we get hungry without food. So, yes, we inherently want to be connected to one another. Humans are very social animals.

Agreed. If a human gets locked up in solitary confinement, you would be surprised how fast they break down mentally without interaction or connections with other people.

Brian07002 define connection in your own words or point of view

**Aadriyah** · 11-19-2008, 09:33 PM

Of course, everything in this world has connection...If not, there won't be any of us here.

**TeewhY** · 11-20-2008, 05:34 AM

Yes we are connected with each other, if you track down your ancestors you would definitely be interested, maybe were cousins lol

**heretostay** · 11-20-2008, 12:19 PM

So you guys believe in the matrix, basically is what your saying?

**juliensimon** · 11-20-2008, 12:22 PM

interestingly enough, lots of humans are really connected.

However sometimes, I just don't feel that connected

This isn't a movie, this is reality. Welcome to it.

Humans are the most socially connected species in the world, if not one of the top ones.

I know this is not a movie!!! You guys are the ones that are saying that we are all connected, just like the movie "The Matrix" so that must mean that you guys think that movie is real. You guys are the ones who need a reality check!

You have a strange view on what the definition of connected/connection is. Please do not compare real life to a fictional movie.

When you talk to another human, you have a connection going with them.
When you touch another human, that is a connection.
When you love another human, that is a connection.

Having friendships, relationships, marriages and so on are all "connected" statuses.

**wayfarer07** · 11-20-2008, 12:41 PM

Without the internet, we wouldn't be connected.

This comment makes me feel pretty bad about picking on you.

I mean, everybody needs friends. If you say that, it probably means you have trouble making some, in which way you may need help.
Your reaction is just self-defense. You attack before being attacked, which result in people attacking you back and convincing you even more that people are evil because they attack you.

His response of jesus towards me was completely illogical. I was in no way attacking him, but merely expressing my opinion about connections between humans.

So this self defense you speak of is non-logical, since he has been on the offensive ever since he joined here.

I wasn't talking about his post as being an answer to yours but about reading between the lines.

I already answered that in my previous post
