According to the author, what mutual problem do both the Mexican and the North American face from the nonfiction book, The Labyrinth of Solitude: Life and Thought in Mexico?

According to the author, both the Mexican and the North American face the problem of reconciliation with the universe. Man has been separated from the universe ever since birth, and he cannot find his way back. Some religions call that isolation "sin", but that might be simply a mythical explanation. Man has reached the end of communication. Mexican and North American cultures have gradually led their citizens into isolation, and the road out will be long and difficult.
