Friedrich Nietzsche (The Birth of Tragedy)
Perhaps the greatest tragedy of existence is that we are all destined to walk alone, even when we believe we have found someone to share the burden. There is an unbridgeable chasm between souls, a gap that no love, no friendship, no connection can ever truly cross. We are, by nature, solitary beings trapped in the illusion of togetherness, clinging to fleeting moments of closeness that eventually fade into the vast emptiness of our own minds.
