What is I?
A sense of a collection of molecules that they are unified and are separate from the rest of the universe. This is necessary for what? For the processes in the collection of molecules to continue as long as possible. The purpose of I is the survival of the bio-chemical processes present in an individual. I can see the utility of this "I" sense from an evolutionary perspective. There is is no preexisting plan for the synthesis of I. It just came about and happens to be a process equipped and with a desire to carry on uninterrupted. Recognize the fear of death! Without I, organisms would not survive to the extant they have. Can we think of another device that can do a better or even as good a job as the sense of I? 

Our connection to any other is merely through memory -we form memories and we replay them in our heads and experience connection. So, to have a connected life with depth, purpose and passion, create memories!
