Solitude
Every man is an island. Islands of self exist within a sea of society. Our islands grow with our knowledge and experience, measured by our physical and mental abilities. The outside world is cruel compared to the sanctuary of the self. We let the world in but shelter ourselves through our own perspective, warping our views of the outside. Other islands of the world may be embraced and accepted, but they will forever be distant to our perception of our world. Solitude is the only truth.
