Personal Space : The Enigma of modern relationships

Image
Out of the many virtues we learn in life, one of prime importance is dealing with the personal space of people around you. It is important to know as well as respect the personal space of your peers. Sometimes, we fail to estimate the personal space of a person which leads to a catastrophic collapse of understanding between the two individuals. Enough prologue, let's understand the concept of personal space technically. First, let us define every person as an entity, and each entity has its own priority sequence for various material aspects in life, like food might be on top of someone's priority, for someone else sleep might be on top of priority list.  An entity in center with different priorities at random length around it Imagine the black circle as a person and the different colored ring represents different priorities.
