Summary

This quote implies that one's personal hell is not something external or caused by others, but rather something created within oneself. It suggests that feelings of loneliness and isolation are the core elements of this hell, and that any others present in one's life are simply perceived projections. The quote also suggests that there is no means of escaping this inner torment, nor any other external solution to find solace. In essence, it proposes that one is always alone in their own personal struggles, suggesting a somewhat existential perspective on the individual experience of suffering.
