As human beings, we need to know that we are not alone, that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds, that there are other people out there who feel as we do, live as we do, love as we do, who are like us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When they are alone they want to be with others, and when they are with others they want to be alone. After all, human beings are like that.
I have always had a sense that we are all pretty much alone in life, particularly in adolescence.
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
What does it mean to not be alone? I've approached that question through music, technology, writing and other means.
It's impossible that we're alone in the universe. Every time we think we're more special than others, we're proven wrong.
We are all members of a single humanity, inside our hearts we all speak the same language, we all love our children and our parents, we all live in the same world.
We are increasingly open to understanding how we are all connected and that if we sink the ship that we are all on, we all drown. However, we have simultaneously become so focused on our own life experiences that we think we are alone.
I am in no way different from anyone else, that my predicament, my sense of aloneness or isolation may be precisely what unites me with everyone.
We're really all alone. We can't ever get inside another person's spirit, and see the world they do. So we are alone in that sense. The only way we have to communicate feelings is through words.
We are never the same with others as when we are alone. We are different, even when we are in the dark with them.
