The thing that makes you lonely is the act of thinking.
To think together is to ACT.
It is to participate in the shared matrix we call reality.
It is literally how your mind works. You think, or WILL yourself to do something.
“I will,” statements must dominate for life to proceed.
It is how the hive mind works: devote your life to the cause, to the end goal, and all the steps work themselves out into something harmonious.
Like organs trying to move your arm. From within a womb, perhaps. Or learning to walk.
Imagine how the first birds must have felt, realizing they had had these miraculous ‘wing’ things on their arms for generations, and not knowing anything about it until ‘Kuku, that bewildering nut-brain. Always dancing over there by that cliff…’
I’m not saying humans can fly. That would be crazy… Right?
What I AM saying, is I believe we can shed ourselves of this preoccupation with division if we all find a common ground to stand on. And I say, what better ground that that of a shared goal:
I know I’m getting ahead of myself here, but what if our levels of introspection are truly the only things keeping us from truly connecting with others? Are we actually supposed to believe you are born, live, and die alone? That you’re never really sharing the same experience of existence with another being?
I know, personally, that my video game sessions with my best friend, Jacob, began when I finally stopped rooting around in my own inventory, so we could move on and enjoy the game a little more. I was holding up the action, and by not participating, by forcing myself to stop and make judgment calls instead of deciding things on impulse, shared, goal-oriented impulse, I was slower and less productive in the interaction.
We still retain our personalities, but the enjoyment of the game and the pacing just sort of… flow better. And I’m saying, we should be able to do that, all of us, on such an enormous scale, without money or governments or a regular schedule interfering in any of it.
The only way to effectively cloud anything is to come to premature conclusions. It’s how we cloud our minds, our judgment calls, our vision… Literally, the distance we can see, and understand becomes limited by how far we are willing to experience it.
So by dwelling on loneliness, we truly isolate ourselves, in a rhythm of contemplation that imprisons us in our minds.
And remember, to think is also to ACT. Thinking is an action, and acting is how the whole engine of social experience is run. So as long as we trap ourselves in our thoughts, that is literally how long we spend in our minds.
