“I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel all alone.”

– Robin Williams

Being alone is an objective fact, a fact that can be altered simply by the approach or presence of a friend. Even if that friend is your own self. Feeling all alone is quite different, for it is a state of mind, an ache of the heart, a body among many in a prison without bars, all inescapable by any known means. At work, at home and elsewhere, strive to make connections, and work to build connections, with those you may meet on the path who are daring enough to share your life.
