About this Quote

This quote talks to the worry of being alone in one's ideas and viewpoints. It recommends that when we are on our own, we may have concepts or opinions that no one else shares. This can be a frightening idea, as it indicates that we may be the only individual in the world who discovers something funny or fascinating. This quote highlights the problem of discovering if our ideas and opinions are shared by others, as we have no way of understanding for sure. It suggests that we may never know if our ideas and opinions are shared by others, and that we must be content with our own thoughts and opinions, even if they are not shared by anyone else. This quote encourages us to be confident in our own ideas and viewpoints, even if we are the only ones who believe they are funny or interesting.
