[ WP ] Far apart , and under different circumstances , people find themselves thinking or feeling the same thing

In the past, some would have said we achieve true civilization too late while others would say too soon. Opinions are now an anachronism. 
 
 We strove to eliminate war and waste, disease and corruption. Engineers toiled to make society perfect, for only then would we have a world at peace. World government. Unification. 
 
 We failed often, but as long as we could see our way through those failures we made progress. We evolved, became more efficient, faster at both creating and solving our problems. Little did we know that we were still individuals flailing in similar directions without common purpose. Thankfully, its about the journey and not the destination. 
 
 After enough years it just clicked. We thought artificial intelligence would be our future. We had studied the singularity and creating technological homunculi to be better than we were. We underestimated ourselves. 
 Every connection we made, from person to person, device to device, eventually reached a critical point where the exchange of ideas became so instantaneous that the momentum carried it out of our artificial infrastructure and forged our consciousness into one. 
 
 We were joined in an empathetic cohesion that could n't be dissolved. 
 
 We are singular.
