Such "everyman is an island" nihilism, and the suggestion that all of life is meaningless is undoubtedly the core of modern Materialist Doctrine, but one needs to wonder about this great compulsion we see in so many people enthusiastically trying to spread such bleak Dogma. Is it something about Misery loving company? What comfort is there in placing these unsurmountable gulfs between each other. Why must it be some unshakeable principle that one man cannot know what is in another man's heart and mind. Is it not the same color blood that runs in our veins. Is it then not the same Life Force? Cannot love resolve in Understanding?

But let you Materialists have your dark and separate unknowable realities, but I do hope you do better with them then all of the despairing existentialists who could do nothing with such thinking but to use it as a weapon for their own suicides.
