what does a lonely guy think about when he thinks about things?

"What is, like, frustration? Or what is anger or love? When I say "love," the sound comes out of my mouth and it hits the other person's ear, travels through this Byzantine conduit in their brain, you know, through their memories of love or lack of love, and they register what I'm saying and they say yes, they understand. But how do I know they understand? Because words are inert. They're just symbols. They're dead, you know? And so much of our experience is intangible. So much of what we perceive cannot be expressed. It's unspeakable. And yet, you know, when we communicate with one another, and we feel that we've connected, and we think that we're understood, I think we have a feeling of almost spiritual communion. And that feeling might be transient, but I think it's what we live for". - Waking Life

I was reading RazorCake magazine #93 earlier this morning, and Todd Taylor wrote in the opening editorial, "To be happy, we need people to love, something to do, and something to look forward to. "
Those words meant something to me, and I'm sure they meant something to the writer, but any promise I make to do better doesn't matter. We are known by our deeds.
