“What is my insecurity and doubt, except my understanding of the truth that life is fleeting and that to love another person is merely a convenience. A way to avoid the reality is that whatever I am in this world, I am ultimately alone. I came into this world alone, and I will go out alone, and in the confines of my mind and my thought and feeling that I am also alone.
“And that realisation doesn’t have to be a problem. Maybe all of you are the same me that I think I am and that this experience we call life and all its problems doesn’t have to be problematic. To realise we are, in fact, alone is, in a way, the freedom we are all looking for.”
