Are you feeling lonely? So many of us are nowadays.

The poet Jonne Donne said, "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." It is true. In fact, we are connected by invisible strings in an integrated system of nature. All parts of nature are connected, including the human being. However, all other parts are aware of their connectedness and thereby work together in order to survive and maintain a state of homeostasis. Yet, human beings are acting more and more like islands, when really we are more like cells in a body.

Nothing is broken in our world except for the connection between us. It is precisely why all problems exist. The growing loneliness and depression we feel are meant to push us to find and achieve that state of homeostasis between us, which naturally exists in all other parts of the universe.

The hidden connection between all parts is meant to be revealed by each and every person on earth. Therein lies the answer to all our suffering. This is precisely what we want to begin to explore during this session of the Open Diner.
