If we, for whatever reason, don’t pay attention to that space that stands between our being and others, we will experience our own impulses and instincts at the expense of other people.
I think that this is what gives our media and our politicians such a bad reputation. (Even if that’s the kind of horrible attention they actually have created a dependency on.)
But in both our personal and social lives, if we cannot hold it, we are going to use our lack of space as an excuse to deal with our frustration publicly, at the hands of other people, and merge it with someones else’s space or political cause.
We cannot really fend ourselves from its intrusion because we are out of personal space. We have no being. This is how we become wired to other people’s subjective conflicts and their lack of personal space.
We grow into it. Almost as a social heritage, because as children we cannot defend ourselves. So we learn to hide it in our social life, we extend it to the world.
