Decoding Loneliness

Ever felt this incredible sense of loneliness overpowering you suddenly, even though you're in a crowded place with people around you whom you know? Somehow, you felt that not one of them is on the same frequency of thought with you, for what could be that single moment in time. A moment of devouring Loneliness, whereby you question your own existence. No one understands you.

That may be why I'd felt the opposite too when I was in a dark cinema with strangers around me. Everyone were focused on the same thoughts depicted by the film. When it was a sentimental film, the emotions seemed to be amplified through everyone. You'd feel a tidal wave of emotions. Like you were part of something, a camaraderie, even though everyone around were mere figures in the dark.

All of a sudden I feel like watching Krystof Kieslowski's Three Colours again. :)
