islands...

John Donne once said "No man is an island".... I'm starting to believe he was wrong. Indeed, at a shallow, superficial level you see people always being and trying to get connected to others around them, but once you go deeper into the human cave- the soul, you might be surprised to see how many people feel lonely most of their life. In a way it is really a nice experience to be a lonely island but then a few years later you see other islands have got together to form a larger island or even a continent.
There has always been this tendency in man to look for the other- friends, family or lover. And it really feels amazing to be surrounded by these people, but what if you can't have that, what if you're just a solitary island that awaits for castaways? What if for you it is geographically impossible to connect with other islands...?
