"I think your contemplations are really, genuinely interesting. Do you consider yourself as having found any person that you can relate fully to? And bind a bond of a higher form of friendshup with?

Yes, i believe people who really embrace and confront the harrowing reality of human loneliness, will suffer periods of bitterness, crisis, angst and hopelessness throughout their life. It is reasonably a measure, a criterion, of human worth for me - can this person accept the loneliness of human existence or not?

that's why - i think - people hold on to collective institutions and sociological phenomena like nationalism, patrotism, pride, collective guilt, abrahamic religion, empty solace, etc, etc, etc. people do not dare let them go - because that would expose the underlying loneliness of their existences. people are unwantedly born to an absurd, absolutely incomprehensible world in a state of total existential solitude - we are condemned  utterly to freedom, we can not choose to put our freedom aside, save for in death and through suicide, which, I, by the way, sometimes would encourage and support... our every second is a moment of active and passive mechanisms of decision-making, our life's work, our soul cast like a can of colour on an empty wall that is life.

people retort to shitty things like patriotism and "ethnic pride" or even collective guilt because they want, as you say, belong to the context, be a part of it, i a mechanism of vitality in the industries of the human condition.

nevertheless, the are people out there - there must be! - whom are battling the reality of existentialism and nihilism courageously and victoriously, and those people we must find, I suppose."
