There have been few life mysteries that have been tugging at my brain in an attempt to make me wonder. Though I did realize a very sickeningly disjointed feeling that seems to have taken me over. It is as though Jungian philosophy came crashing to the floor. Goodbye collective unconscious!
Usually I feel some sort of connection with people that I talk with. Perhaps it is a little bit of an inherent understanding that doesn't make them seem terribly foreign, but either way it makes me feel closer to the person. The disjointedness came from feeling very little to no connection in an extensive conversation.
I expected to have some sort of connection as we grew up in the same Podunk, WI. However, there was no connection. I had forgotten that I thought we were a little different growing up. It's this little difference that has manifested itself to create two contrasting adults from the slightly different children we once were. It makes me wonder what happened. Surely we both changed and grew into our own personalities, which is far from tragic while the loss of any connection is.
This connection is the part that is baffling to me. We must choose our friends based on this connection or slight inherent understanding. It doesn't matter what you call it, whether it's "we just got along" or "we just clicked" or "me cayo bien". It must be the top priority while other factors follow.
Still, I am left a little shaken from the lack of connection and do not feel connected to people around me. This disjointed feeling is rather unpleasant and makes me question the connections I have already established.
I guess the bottom line from all of this is that connections and collective unconscious are important. And hearing ideas like all-consuming all nighters seem foreign enough to me to show a strong disconnection.
