And God said is not good that man should be alone ... Genesis 2, 18
Adam and Eve are apparently happy in the Garden of God until they fall into the temptation of the serpent and eat one of the many apples that hang from the tree of knowledge of science of good and evil. This disobey God and at the instant of their serious lack realize that they are naked, making them experience one of the first more eerie feelings, the shame. Immediately Adam blames his wife have done sin but divine punishment overtakes them both end up being expelled from their literary paradise that never existed.
Upon leaving Eden that both Adam and Eve and are aware that they are one with each other or that they are more with the God and the paradise that was made available. Are alone and suffer, and so these distressed parents of humanity give it a go on the longest pilgrimage so far been able to do in their quest to overcome loneliness.
The German psychoanalyst Erich Fromm (1900 - 1980) in his book The Art of Loving (1959) lays the foundation the theory of the separateness as the existence of separate human being, disengaged from something or someone. This condition generates separate anguish. Recognizing this be isolated leads him to think about the desire to cling to the world, the people are not united. Also, the shame and separateness will produce feelings of guilt at not being able to join the others and the outside world. For the man get to be separated from that and those around him start from the premise that it is a reason that you can see this, one reason placed in a life that is theirs and that will generate a conjugate self-awareness entitling him to get an idea of \u200b\u200bits possibilities and potential and its past and its future prospects.
The biblical story of Adam and Eve is an allegory that plots a cultural phenomenon like the separateness. Both rise to a cultural life that departs from the original animal harmony with nature to which were attached to eating the forbidden fruit. In a way the snake is the driver that facilitates the knowledge but do not provides even as God knows what may well sit down and start eating as soon as they know it. It is at this time that our characters are born as human beings and recognize their separateness, although both remain a stranger to the other. And this why? Because they do not love. According
Fromm love is one of the feelings that overcome the separateness and dispel the anxiety that it generates. Thus it is that love becomes one of the moods and dispositions of the more desired by men and women:
The deepest need of man is the need to overcome his separateness, to leave prison solitude ... The awareness of human separation, without meeting the love-is the source of shame. It is at once the source of guilt and anxiety (p. 21).
Faced with this problem and its eventual resolution, the man asks how to achieve unity, transcending one's self and find compensation for all the anxiety of separateness. There are many roads leading to it. Over the centuries the most golf courses have been those of religion and philosophy, each offering foundations of belief that man returned to the first connection to the world, life and others. However, in modern times our Western society has found other ways to go in this direction, perhaps less mystical or metaphysical as those already mentioned but equally captivating. One of those ways to escape the separateness is facilitating the orgiastic state and sexual experience.
orgiastic status and sexual experience can be effectively escapes the separateness and the sultry pause anxiety produced. Unfortunately, these are only transient states of exaltation in which although the world may disappear, and with it the feeling of being separated from it, can not stop considering that ephemeral bill restores man to his reality, and he even may further stress their separateness, which generates an anguish greater than what He initially had. Is one of many desperate attempts:
Sex without love will never eliminate the gap between two human beings except momentarily (p. 24).
This type of interaction and unity will never reach a lasting and more intense violence or whatever. It is always temporary.
