Torsten :

Solitude is better than the wrong company.

Chaotic Robotic :

The unbearable hell of loneliness is indeed better than the many masks humans wear [Broken heart]

AndreiW :

On this, Dostoevsky is naively optimistic in his message. People wear masks even when alone by themselves. Behind what one feels is their last mask, there is simply another mask of "a person without mask" - even when faced with complete solitude and theoretical complete freedom, we are still unknowingly bound to act and think and feel in the way we belive "a free/honest person" ought to, and that is, of course, learnt and shaped by the outside world just like everything else. There are only masks behind masks, all the way down.

V :

If you see the masks of others, doesnt it mean that you are familiar with wearing them yourself? Like in the quote: the liar knows the liar 🤔

Any One :

"To become stronge", is key. And most won't, I think.

Theophilos Teo Sotiriadis :

pain the only feel that's real

valeriepearce :

I would miss the messy love of many other lonely souls that perforate through our pain.

roger humlestøl :

loneliness isn't always in a literal sense, some times you can feel more alone with the company. the feeling of being understood is a truly wonderful feeling, people are complex and have all different views on life and walked different roads. sow then you find someone who can make you feel understood..... enjoy it while it lasts
