Are We Alone?

In a world with 6.97 billion people, how is it possible to be alone? We may know a lot of people who care for us and love us, but at the end of the day we stand alone. People are greedy and selfish; they think about themselves and how they might benefit from something. No one thinks about the other, and even if they do they are not always here on earth forever. We are born into this world to fight and fend our own battles.

At times it may seem as though a person is trustworthy and he or she is going to be with you throughout the roller coaster of your life. We humans like to hope for something bigger and better; we are taught to see the best in people. When we realize that the nature of people is to be nasty and selfish we also learn not to trust them. We learn to live by ourselves without depending on anyone.

People in our lives are like clothes they come and go. We cannot trust a person to stay by our side throughout our life, because their life may not be as long as ours. We learn from our mistakes on our own, and eventually we also learn to live and stand on our own. We may trust a person, but sooner or later he or she goes far away; away from you, away from your problems. We might say to a friend do not worry we will talk on skype every night, but how long does the promise really last? Eventually the distant becomes bigger and bigger, making it impossible for the two to trust or be there for each other. We come into this world alone and soon learn that we are going to be alone.
