Recently I have closely observed the process of progression dealing with intimacy levels within a relationship. It is very interesting to me that upon the encounter of a new human being, we –as human beings- act as if we are so much more than which, or at the least choose to present the best attainable version of what we truly can be. Either selection, this behavioral alteration whether made for our own, false self-confidence or so simply and deceitfully devised with the intent of creating a quality impression for the perceiver, is typically one sought through formality. This common societal trait may be due to the standard of business, traditional proper etiquette, or self-motivation for apprehended magnitude. All of these serious and valid considerations taken into reprimand, I find it ironically and casually humorous that we put such effort and importance into simply meeting someone for the first time. It seems that no sooner after we have become familiarized, what began as a formal introduction could just as soon become the birth of a new soul- a collaboration of two in; familiarization to the point of spiritual simultaneity. Although we will each guilty of this common “social production” at one time or another, its distortivness is yet utilized with a static popularity. Why is it that we try so hard to make a façade when we are a single, united humanity made to rely on one another and become kindred so that we may learn from and of ourselves through companionship? We have been created individualistically indeed, but not for solitude by any means. We ought to approach one another with the realization that we will never know less of the other from that instance into eternity. We ought to also enter introduction with the expectancy of an exchange; that we likewise to that of our understanding of the other have –undoubtedly- something to offer. It simple to divert from habitually and yet so such a widespread occurrence.
