Anhedonia...

@cassie

yeah, you're right - I am fortunate to be part of a system that respects everyone's needs and lets everyone have their front time.

The thing is (not sure if I can articulate this in any understandable way): even if we're totally co-con, can experience each other's feelings to some extent, can cognitively share each other's memories - it is never someone's continuous life. Even taking turns, each of us gets just a 5th (or 10th, or however many we're yet to discover) of a life. In a sense, it shortens everyone's life span, at least the life they have lived for themselves. It doesn't seem fair on anyone.

Personally, I want us to integrate and be all alive, all the time. Well, we'll see...

I hadn't thought of it like that before. Thank you for making me ponder.

I hope you feel calmer soon.

even so, something is better than nothing

might as well try to make the best with what you have now

and then hope to work towards integration over time

it's better to have a 5th of a life and share it than have nothing at all



you could also try to work towards always having everyone being co-conscious and fully co-conscious all the time (before working on integration, i mean)

because then, yes, you might still be sharing to some extent, but you're always sharing, all the time, and you're still all experiencing life at the same time and not taking turns and such
