Some people it doesn't seem bother, but maybe they don't have the capacity to feel. I've seen Hitchens comment on it in one youtube video - facing aloneness staring at the galaxy or something. I though that you'd know to cherish your relationships with your fellow man above all else after feeling and aloneness like that, you would yearn for true relationship, and a true relationship is one of holiness in my opinion, I've felt it and that's what I now believe about relationship if you were to catch me in one of my finer moments.

There are seven billion people on this planet. I'd hardly call that 'alone'. As an introverted, curmudgeonly sort; I'd say we have enough togetherness as it stands.
Yeah, we're one speck in a stupendously vast universe; the interstellar equivalent of the shack located in the backwoods. Yet we're a pretty big speck, with lots to keep us busy. Our lifetimes are ridiculously short, yet long enough to provide us with happiness. Yes, the human race will come to an end. Yet, we're probably going to hold on for at least the next 500 years; that's long enough to create a legacy for our grandchildren's grandchildren.
We could contemplate our existence in the universe, or...we could put the bong away and focus on making a good life at *our* level here on earth. Guess what I choose to do?
