I am a stranger in this world, and there is a severe solitude and painful lonesomeness in my exile. I am alone, but in my aloneness I contemplate an unknown and enchanting country, and this meditation fills my dreams with spectres of a great and distant land which my eyes have never seen.I am a stranger among my people and I have no friends. when I see a person I say within myself, "Who is he, and in what manner do I know him, and why is he here, and what law has joined me with him?" ~The Lonely Poet , Kahil Gibran
Aren't we all strangers in this world? Honestly, how are we all connected? By some bond probably - family, friendship. But how did these bonds occur? Of course, we were born into them and some we made. But isn't it a little weird that probably all of this was meant to happen just so that existence continues, what if this hadn't happened? What if we didn't have family, friends or anyone for that matter. What if everyone was a stranger to everyone?
We often don't realize how precious every person on this earth who knows us is. From the vegetable guy, to security guards, to teachers, anyone. Every one that we know or ever knew and they knew us back, its like your not alone. You have someone you know. Imagine walking around not knowing anyone? Wouldn't it be hard?
Man is a Social Animal ~ Aristotle
So how can we live without people, without each other, all alone in this oh so huge world? Its impossible right?
Maybe the poem had a totally different interpretation, but it suddenly enlightened me about this fact. Sometimes I have so many questions, they make me confused myself, so I wouldn't blame you if you were confused now. :)

P.S: Think about it, whatd'ya think?
