The closer we come together, the more isolation
The closer we come together, the more isolation there is, the more we try to protect our little shells.
Perhaps the unconscious reaction to population compression is to seek for protection, to withdraw, to isolate, to get a gun, to fend off, to kill the Other. The conscious reaction can be the contrary, to seek for gathering, to love, to open, to get a hug or a dance, to draw in, to hear others.
So when we find ourselves too close for comfort, we can take it for a signal for us to reach out and draw closer, to take down the masks and walls, to hear ourselves and others.
