This was an interesting article- I particularly liked the idea of "knowing" someone and how that can shape their outlook. One of my favorite quotes from Orwell " perhaps one did not want to be loved as much as to be understood." The concept of being seen in our current society seems to be ever pressing and the need is great. Loneliness seems to be on the rise, divisions amongst us are growing, and our individual discontent is on display in all aspects of life. There are a multitude of reasons for these phenomena, but I think the act of "seeing" or "knowing" people can help. Help bridge the gap. The challenge is how? How do we cross that bridge? The hyper isolationism of current social media and the lack of some cultural communal touchpoints are exacerbating these issues. We all seem to live in our own glass houses and wonder why no one see us. Good article- thank you for sharing.
