The lonely become either thoughtful or empty.


The lonely become either thoughtful or empty.

Summary

This quote suggests that loneliness prompts individuals to adopt two different mindsets. On one hand, loneliness can lead people to become thoughtful as they reflect upon their situation, their emotions, and their connection to others. On the other hand, loneliness can also leave individuals feeling empty, indicating a sense of desolation and a lack of purpose or fulfillment in their lives. Thus, this quote encapsulates the dichotomy of responses to loneliness, highlighting the potential for self-reflection and growth, or a feeling of hollowness and despair.
