What is the Importance of Connection?

The importance of connection is that it gives us a sense of "Being", a sense of "I am". Who I am in relationship to self, and who I am in relationship to the Universe, the World... basically, all that is, every was, or every will be.

Without a connection to self, others, or things we inadvertently lose a sense of purpose, a sense of belonging ... who am I, why we are here, where do we belong, where are we going/what next?

Connection basically keeps us from wondering aimlessly around, as if we were on a deserted island out in the middle of the ocean, cut off from the rest of the world.
