//Loneliness has followed me my whole life, in bars and cars. I can't escape it. I'm God's lonely man. - Travis Bickle, Taxi Driver//

Stepping out onto the Second Life grid for the first time is a little like going to your first day in a new school. You know absolutely no one, you are in a strange and unfamiliar place, and it is difficult to find anyone to talk to. All around you there are groups of people who seem to be interacting with each other on a familiar basis.

//One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do - Three Dog Night We are always in our own company. - Proverb, unattributed Ah, Look at all the lonely people - Paul McCartney A true traveller has no fixed plan, and is not intent on arriving. - Lao-tzu// //Cherish that which is within you, and shut off that which is without; for too much knowledge is a curse. - Chuang-tzu The people have always some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness. ...This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector. - Plato What each individual wills is obstructed by everyone else, and what emerges is something that no one willed. - Friedrich Engels ...it is society which, fashioning us in its image, fills us with religious, political, and moral beliefs that control our actions. - Emile Durkheim// If we do not meet with agreeable things, we shall at least meet with something new. - Voltaire //You cannot count on anyone except yourself. - Carolyn Burnham, American Beauty Though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping you and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there. - Patrick Bateman, American Psycho//

//This used to be real estate Now it's only fields and trees Where, where is the town Now, it's nothing but flowers The highways and cars Were sacrificed for agriculture I thought that we'd start over But I guess I was wrong -The Talking Heads//
