What defines intimacy ?

We make decisions everyday, from big to small. While we like to believe that our decisions are our own business, how many of these are actually predetermined by the circumstances we are in ? How many of these decisions have no consequences on others ? How free is one's free choice ? How private is one's free choice ?

If it is true that there is in fact no such thing as free choice, does it imply that are born to a world that is by default inter-connected ? To stay detached is hence an unnatural choice and risking enormous resistance from the world we are in ?

But why do city dwellers succeed to appear more detached than town folks ? Or is it just to conceal the inner yearning for wanting to be connected ? Or is there a limit to intimacy ?

What defines intimacy ?
