"Experience of Life"

"Experience of life"

(We are alone in our experience of life)

We are trapped in our skulls and we are separated from every other person and every other thing for the entirety of our lives. People react to this fact in all sorts of maladaptive ways... Strained relationships, over talking, or artists making elaborate works. However even though we are forever separated from others physically we accumulate the desires, traits, and values of everyone we encounter. By recognizing the way we are the product of everyone we ever met we can find some deep peace.
