i remember!

It came back to me! That is, the thing that I forgot in the previous post. I'd better get this down before I forget it again.

Basically, I've been watching Dr. Phil a lot and reading his books. He says that the number one desire among humans is for acceptance, and conversely, the number one fear is rejection (hence the reason people fear public speaking over death). Kind of obvious if you think about it. But here's the thing. My "aha" was realizing that this is one evidence of how We Are All One, and how, even though we appear separate, all we want to do is get back together again.
