Summary

This quote suggests that despite our desperate attempt to share the deepest emotions and experiences with others, they may lack the capacity to truly understand and appreciate them. As a result, we end up feeling lonely, even when surrounded by people, because we are unable to truly connect and be known by others. It highlights the inherent difficulty in fully knowing and being known by our fellow beings, leading to a sense of isolation and a yearning for genuine human connection.
