Solitude is part of life....we long for company....but secretly we crave for that rare moment of quiteness on our own.

Just another thought on lonliness:3 W  z8 l6 J% ^6 ~
Lonliness is not the feeling at your first day of school/work/new life in another country. It's normal to be alone in those circumstances. Loliness is the realization that you're indeed alone after spending years w/ your friends, co-workers, peers, and family members. That's sad.
