I don't think that it is possible to do anything alone on this planet. It is perceptions misgiving reality.

Our collectivity, be it on purpose or left to circumstance, is real and unavoidable. I find solace and strength in our captivity.

commune naufragium omnibus est consolatio

a shipwreck that is common to all is consolation.

We need discipline just as you need it. We need it together for insulation not isolation.
