Connection With Another Person

Here's something that I have pondered on for a while. All throughout my life, I have believed that opposites attract. Things have different poles and everything are on certain vibrations. Every vibration exists on the same pole but it can be at different ends. For example, there is hot and cold on the vibration of temperature, there is good and bad on the vibration of worth, and there is rich and poor on the vibration of wealth.

What has this got to do with anything you may be asking? Well, I'm relating this to a recent experience I had, where I had a chat with a person I had never met before. In terms of the conversation we had, there was a lot of synergy between us because we had similar interests, had a similar upbringing and childhood memories and we speak the same language, literally. It was the best conversation I had with a person I had never met in my life. So, it raises the question, do opposites really attract?

My belief is that when it comes to human connection, it is measured by the type of conversation you will have with another person. In my experience, I have connected with people on a much deeper level if they had similar interests, beliefs and values to mine. That may well be the reason why communities, groups and forums have been created - being around like-minded people! Connection with a person who has a similar lifestyle and interest certainly does increase your energy levels and bring out your passions.

But it also raises the question whether you will get bored if you are around the same minded people all the time. Anthony Robbins has shared what he believes are the six human needs and the first two are Certainly and Uncertainty or Variety. He basically states that all humans need to have some level of certainty in their life, where they know what they have to do, what will happen and how to do things. On the other hand, if there are no surprises in a person's life, they will become extremely bored and hence, won't enjoy life as much as they would like to. We all love experiencing different things from time to time.

So, the theme here is that it is vital when connecting with a person, you have things in common but you also have differences that will stimulate both of you in different ways. At times, it is better not to know what's ahead in life or what a friendship with a person will entail. That's what makes life the beautiful gift it is.
