Do you empathize with another person's loneliness

Can't understand what other people are saying because of the language? Why do you feel more lonely when you speak the same language. Most of the conversation is between the chicken and the duck. Let alone talk, even the desire to speak has been understood and deprived of hopelessness. Regret for what I said, not because my inner thoughts were seen, but because I found that the other party didn't know what I was saying. Only when this happens a few times can you resist the instinctive desire and let the words stuck in your throat stay only in your body forever.

What I want to escape is not a city with language barriers, but a lonely emotion that has been infinitely amplified.

Traveling across oceans to a strange country, many people know who he is and what he has done. Worshiped and treated courteously, but there is not even a person who can communicate normally.

It is still possible to escape reality on the grounds that words are impassable. The plot of talking on the phone with distant relatives makes loneliness nowhere to hide.

Twenty-five years of marriage, excluding one-third of the time people spend sleeping, how much of the remaining 16 years is filled with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. The content of the conversation is only the color of the carpet, and the children’s ballet performance. The happiness of the past is gone forever. Except for the sentence I love you that he said after the phone was hung up, he didn't know how to start a conversation between the two with his lover.

Hidden face and wept after being unable to talk, it is not that it is impossible to say, but that it cannot be said.

The most beautiful misunderstanding in this world is that I have seen the same sky with humans. In essence, human beings such a complex creature cannot truly understand each other. This makes it especially precious to feel the loneliness of another person.
