What is this visceral longing for connection? Why can't each of us feel complete, whole and satisfied exactly as we are, without the praise or love of others? Is it simply my ego getting in the way?
The truth is that at some level each of us is connected to others and this connection, in its entirety, represents the wholeness and satisfaction we are looking for...not based on our expectations from another person, but based on a holistic quality I can't quite put my finger on.
I have often felt this longing, quite often directed toward a specific person when they were in a situation which required a specific type of help or knowledge. Kind of like a universal radar which directs me to those whom I can help.
I can't figure it out.
