Being isolated
doesn’t simply mean being alone. One can be in a room full of people and still
feel isolated. It is also not about being lonely. Isolation means separating
the self from others, loneliness only comes about if it is involuntary. Most
people will seek others to quell the occasional feeling of loneliness, but that
is only a temporary fix. Ultimately, it is impossible for an individual to not
be isolated. A person cannot truly share their experiences with others; even
words are an inadequate substitute. Their journey is their own. Their decisions
are their own, regardless of external influences. Those who are never lonely
have accepted their role as an individual and have stopped trying to fight
their solitary nature. It will never be possible to know another as you know
yourself.
