a thought about loneliness

' "Perhaps solitude has made his madness worse, " Brida thought, and again she felt the first stirrings of panic. She may have been young, but she knew the harm that loneliness could do to people, especially as they got older. She had met people who had lost the glow of their being alive because they could no longer fight against loneliness and had ended up becoming addicted to it. They were, for the most part, people who believed the world to be an undignified, inglorious place and who spent their evenings and nights talking on and on about the mistakes others had made. They were people whom solitude had made into the judges of the world, whose verdicts were scattered to the four winds for whoever cared to listen.'

these were the exact words written in the book Brida by Paulo Coelho. when i read these words, i came to realize something and in somehow understand myself and others. its really hard to become lonely for it can definitely kill somebody.
