6 degrees of separation

"Six degrees of separation is the theory that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that  has no more than five intermediaries. The theory was first proposed in 1929 by the Hungarian writer Frigyes Karinthy in a short story called 'Chains'." (courtesy- whatis.techtarget.com)

Why do I say that, well anyone who leaves a country and settles where I stay is related to me by the 6th degree at least. Or so I have noticed in a lot of conversations that I have had. 

This makes me think, will I be at the sixth degree with Will Smith? Yippie... I love this theory... I love Marconi and all the people who contributed to the 'Small World' theory.... I love you guys.

Then again I wonder, if I am related to a Chinese, a Portuguese, someone from Nairobi, someone from Japan, someone from Australia, I have connections I say.

So then I know the Nobel prize winners and the people off to outer space.. Wow!!

Then I would also know someone in Somalia, someone in a jail in Vietnam, someone who's suffering in Thailand and in India. I also know someone who died of war in Iraq, Iran and Palestine. I know people who died of a bomb blast somewhere in Colombo.

I have second thoughts about the theory, I cannot keep myself equally excited about knowing Hugh Laurie and someone dying of hunger and starvation somewhere.

Now I know why they called the theory '6 degrees of separation' and not '6 degrees of bonding'.
