Something that we tend to do as human beings, when things are uncertain, we tend to spend a lot of time thinking about what's going to happen or how it's going to go. That is a protective response that our mind does. But what that can actually do is promote more anxiety, and our mind is not always the healthiest place for us to be, especially if the content of our thoughts is pretty negative, pretty scary.
I think, because the further we get apart from each other, the scarier we feel to each other. Maybe that sounds naive or sugarcoated, but at the end of the day, we are all walking around sharing space with each other, trying to live on this planet in the most meaningful way that we can.
