Wdymthe idea of individualism and the singular body that empowers us to be who we truly are, also separates ourselves from others, creating human loneliness

Near death experiences often have very similar themes, despite them being experienced by different people of different ages and in different cultures. The process typically looks like this: the person has an out-of-body experience and observes what happens in the room from an outside perspective (sometimes, they observe what happens in another room, or even in another building). Then they report travelling towards some kind of light, usually through a tunnel but not always. After this, they typically meet someone, often dead relatives (sometimes relatives that has passed so recently they have no idea that they actually are dead) and some kind of light figure that many people describes as a man; depending of the religious belief of the nearly dying he can be interpreted as God, Jesus, Krishna, Buddha etc but the main theme seems to be that he emits light and unconditional love. People usually describe a sense of utter and complete peace of mind. At some point they're often re-experiencing their life in some way, which can be anxiety-provoking or comforting depending on said life experiences. The last thing that usually happens is that they understand that they need to complete some kind of task; or enter some kind of location in order to fully pass on but they are being told (either directly or indirectly) that they're not allowed to and that they must return to their bodies. A lot of people don't want to return and try to resist but to no avail. Then they awake. All this can happen in a matter of seconds, just as we can dream long and complicated dreams in just a second.
because we are fundamentally different from others, we can be an individual, but with our differences brings a feeling of loneliness in the fact that one can never truly understand you, and you can never understand them, we are individuals, and we are lonely because of it, this could be why when we find someone that we believe understands us we latch onto them, but thats just a theoryWdym

Yes, "Romeo and Juliet" can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the consequences of impulsiveness, hatred, and societal pressures. It warns against the dangers of unchecked passion, familial conflict, and the inability to reconcile differences peacefully, ultimately leading to tragic outcomes for the young lovers.Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has been terribly misunderstood. The drama's not meant to be taken as a celebration of romance, but rather as a warning (and at times a twisted, humorous spin on chivalric romance) against the morbid picture of passion.
You could say we are driven by our fundamental loneliness to connect with others(@sserafim)
Your theory reflects the complexity of human connection and the tension between individuality and the desire for understanding. It's true that our differences can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness, but they also offer opportunities for unique connections with others who appreciate and comprehend us in ways that resonate deeply. The quest for understanding and meaningful connections is a central aspect of the human experience.
Loneliness can indeed drive humans to seek connections with others. It's a fundamental aspect of human nature to seek companionship, support, and understanding from fellow beings. While loneliness can motivate us to seek social interaction, it's not the only factor driving human connections. Other factors such as empathy, cooperation, and shared interests also play significant roles in fostering connections between people.You could say we are driven by our fundamental loneliness to connect with others
Humans have a deep-seated need for connection due to various reasons:You could say we are driven by our fundamental loneliness to connect with others
