"It's interesting how ideas can originally occur in two or several parts of the world independent of each other because humanity is universal." - reminds me of convergent evolution, i.e. when something like wings evolves independently in two or more species as a common response to an often common problem. Anyway, totally agree that we have become "tools of our tools," that our technology has created distance between us. Perhaps no better example than not being physically touched (or even regarded) by your doctor.

Convergent evolution... I like this. I'll read more about it.
Thank you for your comments.
