Today's Deep Thought
We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all
circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are
crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies
into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is
doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies -- all
these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can
pool information about experiences, but never experiences themselves. From family to
nation, every human group is a society of island universes.
--Aldous Huxley
