We are all alone

Jeff Buckley is raucously yelling the song “Hallelujah” from the speakers.
The cats are shouting signals to their mates for some recreational activities.

And I am here up straight at 4am in the morning with a murky mind.
Can’t focus on anything, the thoughts are driving me crazy.

Loneliness is really inevitable in life.

No matter where you are, who you are, what you do, you just feel lonely once a while.

I thought I could escape my previous lonely life by coming to Malaysia, a friendlier place in terms of culture and environment comparing with South Africa.

It’s not the case.

“No man is an island onto himself”

But human are generally lonely animals.

We are so lonely that we need to live in a society wherein people can watch and torture each other.

Yes, of course sometimes we love each other.

The question is how often is “sometimes”?

Maybe we love each other just because we have suffered too much separation and desperation?
Do you really truly love someone? Or your so-called “lover” is just an object to help you escape from your isolation?

As Chris Rock puts it “you’ll never get a soul mate, never. If you lucky enough, all you got is a mate”
