The Strangest Thing

While waiting for the train to arrive, I wrote the following:

It is an absolutely strange feeling, feeling alone. Not in the melancholic, depressing, sense, but feeling utterly alone in terms of there being no other people around. This strange situation happened after finishing up at an event close to Amsterdam. From being there with a team, to missing the train that only goes every thirty minutes. Spending thirty minutes utterly alone is a strange experience.

You start to wander, mentally, and your mind gives you insight in the oddest things, never thought of before. But in the end, these thoughts don’t last. The train arrives and I get in, immediately surrounded by people talking on cellphones and bright light. I can only wonder where my thoughts would travel if I’d spend an entire day like that.

What about a week, a month, or ever a year. How long would it take before others would classify me as insane. Perhaps the most interesting question is;

If being totally alone could make you insane, could the exact opposite not do the same?  It could be healthy to assume the insanity of society, I would call it enlightened.
