Just How Connected are We?

By Leave a Comment

"If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear as it is, infinite." - William Blake We are all connected. Mainstream coffee-shop talk suggests as much. So do advertising campaigns for wireless networks and social networking sites. But just how connected are we? It depends upon how deeply you look.

Our relationships, finances, careers, governments and nations are … [Read more...]

Some psychologists even argue that since we're social beings, meaning is found only through relationship with other people. But we are more profoundly relational than that. To be fully human we need relationships with other people, with the … [Read more...]
