Alone you are, alone in the middle of the people!

Tonight I feel just like the words of the famous Finnish poet, Eino Leino, when he wrote "yksin oot sinä ihminen, kaiken keskellä yksin".
After being a long time with other people, I yearn for lonelyness.  But then, after being a few days alone, I start feeling like I´m the only man on earth, and I start longing for the company of other people.
The fact is that man is a herd or flock animal, like wolf, and that´s why the exceptions are called "lonely wolves".  I think I have a tendency of being one of that kind. Lonely wolves have more freedom than the ones that live in herds, but the life of a lonely wolf is very lonely. And that´s why I have the same problem as Shakespeare, "to be, or not to be (lonely), that´s the question"!
