Contemplatia on a Common Paradox

Sometimes it's worth noticing that no one is really paying attention and that reality is not the same thing to any two people. We are irrevocably separate. Never mind this and that bung about 'other halves' and 'soul mates'. There is no symmetry among human beings.

But that's not to say that some vestige of understanding can't be achieved. One just has to remember that we don't fit in the other person's skin. Sad but true that we even try. (The main component of metaphysics is physical.)

One has to adore the paradox of the social animal that is the human being.
