the pain that solitude brings

I wish Sasuke would stop acting so silly and just go back to the Leaf. But anyways no, I never felt like this. I still have a full family so I don't feel very alone at all. Though watching Naruto I actually started understanding what solitude is like. The show does a good job of recreating feelings and that's hard work.

Sasuke fails to see Naruto's pain as an outsider as well. Naruto grew up very much alone, even feared and hated by otherwise rational members of the village, so he knows very well what Sasuke is going through. Sasuke just won't admit (yet) that there is any connection between them. I think all of us must have some knowledge of this tyoe of pain. It doesn't dominate my life, but I remember feeling isolated growing up on a farm. I eventually folded it into what I am, a little bit of a rebel, just outside of normal society and not part of any groups. Many people take that pain of solitude and squash it with teams, clubs or fraternities that they join, others wallow in it and become bitter loners. I'm much closer to the bitter loners!
