Loneliness Of Being Human Comments

This is a gem of a poem and its priceless quality is not limited to its truth - there is also a beauty of expression, simply eloquent, compressed to the point that we are beyond tears, there is only that rueful awareness that the sadness is endemic and it it weren't caused by this thing it would be caused by that thing - there's no way out of this irreducible sadness of being human. It's not an emotion in our consciousness, it is our consciousness. And if someday we encounter ETs with a happy-go-lucky consciousness, they will see us as heroic in our pride of being.
