It is so strange in this world. There are so many people, and yet one can feel lonely. What is this feeling? Is it a fear of being alone? Is it a longing for companionship? Is it actually a feeling or a description of isolation?Why do some people take joy in this thing called loneliness? In everyone's life there is a moment when one wants to be alone, in other words, be lonely. Why is it that one requires it yet hates it? The need not to be among people is sometimes so strong, it is like the air one breathes. One feels like dying, suffocating from lack of isolation. That is a fair description. Some people may not understand, but I do. I need to be alone sometimes, and sometimes people just don't understand this need. I didn't come into this world to be constantly in contact with the world. There must be another purpose to this life.
