Lonliness

The human spirit is extraordinarily resilient when it is required. The human mind can push the body to new levels of survival, and can over come nearly any obstacle that arises. But eventually, every erson gives up, and gives in. Everyone needs somebody to help them and hold them up. The man who wrote the letters was a man who was i extreemely cold conditions, but the lonliness he felt for compaionionship was far more deadly than the cold around him. "my hopes fluctuate, and my spirits often depressed"(Shelley). Unrequitted love is the most menacing of all emotions felt by the human spirit, which ravanges the body and rips the soul to shreds, as we stand helplessly to hte side. lonliness is a different beast all together, and does not have the hot, passionate fury of love, but instead freezes the suffer in time and place, alienienating them from all others. Passion rips out the heart, while loliness refuses to touch it.
