Alone

In one of my favorite shows the main character states that we are born alone, die alone, and everything else in between are rules imparted on us by society. At first glance I tend to agree with the observation. But I then gave it some more thought.

You do come into the world alone to some degree. I think we do not leave alone. Our lives are filled with people coming and going into our lives. If we are lucky we have many who remain with us and become true friends. So I do not agree with the statement because we leave the world with people and or some, their spirits, for those who leave us early.

The mechanism through which people walk into our lives and the timing is something entirely intriguing and fun to ponder.
