Technology has gifted us infinite voices yet it has starved us of presence. Modern time has replaced shared talks even the sileny moments with notifications, meals used to be on the same table now everyone has their own meal–just a call away. I guess, the problem isn’t isolation itself, but the illusion that we have conquered it.
For the intimacy, I love the wise words of Zen, "the moon reflected in water"—beautiful but untouchable, just like our screen deep relationships today.
From my personal experience, the time spent physically surpasses everything, the intimacy it carries is beyond expression.
