What Does It Feel Like To Be Lonely? It Feels Like Being Hungry: Like Being Hungry When Everyone Around

What does it feel like to be lonely? It feels like being hungry: like being hungry when everyone around you is readying for a feast. It feels shameful and alarming, and over time these feelings radiate outwards, making the lonely person increasingly isolated, increasingly estranged. It hurts, in the way that feelings do, and it also has physical consequences that take place invisibly, inside the closed compartments of the body. It advances, is what I’m trying to say, cold as ice and clear as glass, enclosing and engulfing.

“12.2. Pilots from Jasta 11 getting ready for take off at 21 april of 1918. From left to right: Wolfram, Scholtz, Karjus, Wolff, Lübbert, Richtofen, Löwenhardt, Steinhauser and Weiss. After a lots of deaths being produced that could have been avoided with the use of the Parachute, the controls of both sides decided to amply it’s use since 1918. In this photo we can check that Wolff and Steinhauser were wearing their parachute harnesses”

Well shit, official information says that manfred was wearing his parachute on his last flight (also he was wearing pajamas under his uniform, lol)
