Are we connected to one another?

Can someone else read your emotions?    

20th century man was adamant that each person was an island and we lived our lives in separateness. The 21st century has started to challenge this idea. Think what it’s like to be in a room with a person who is angry or disapproving of you. You can feel their anger without them even saying a word.
