Everyone is an island

Everyone living in this world has a period of life, but the life course of different people is so different. Everyone exists in this world as an individual, without any physical connection, like isolated islands drifting in the sea, very lonely. But fortunately, loneliness does not hinder survival in the real world. People can live lonely until they die.
Imagine living alone, traveling alone, singing aloud, enough food and books, when lonely, reading a book, singing through the sound when lonely, no one can interfere with your thinking, no one despises you for singing like a ghost Howl, no longer have to be poisoned by secular civilization, escape from the world, unfettered, walking alone on the land, hidden in the wilderness, the road under your feet is your home. How wonderful!
However, one day, you gradually noticed the existence of the same kind, the same existence as you, and how they survived. As human nature, curiosity gradually drives you to approach. Thus, there is desire, the desire to know the same kind. Finally one day, desire becomes action. But these are far from enough. While human beings are full of curiosity, they also have a vigilance, a natural vigilance.
Human nature is inherently evil and full of evil roots. If human nature is inherently good, where does evil come from? Goodness does not produce evil, does it? The question is, are human beings destined to live alone?
No, as we see in the real world, people live together, whether fortunately or not.
The fallen islands, on what basis do they stay together? I think it should be "love". A group of drifting people, in the boundless sea, wandered freely with the sails of love, stopping casually. (The copyright of this sentence belongs to He Caitou) From scratch, growing from a young age, a powerful fleet is galloping in the ocean of love.
Only with love, the island will eventually be broken.
