This is an idea I think that is an almost bottomless well of insight if you apply it. Everything in life is individual and discrete, and all continuity, even something like the 'flow of time', is an illusion built from individual, discrete bits. The elements that make up our world are all discrete. Relationships are between discrete individuals. An interesting example is TV or film. Just about all modern films or TV are constructed from 'cuts', sequences of individual discrete scenes. The effect we feel is of a continuous story or narrative. But actually it's a whole bunch of discrete scenes.
