Your name

A human being is essentially alone. When death approaches, all ties are severed, and we have to face it on our own. Even worse — humans spend their whole lives in solitude, and love or other ties are no more than illusions. But few solitary souls can afford to have such thoughts and still go on happily with their lives.
So what is the opposite approach? Humans do not live their fickle lives, nor do they meet their death alone — rather they are always connected to someone or something. And the more one thinks about this, the closer one comes to religious concepts, such as “God”, “Buddha”, “afterlife”, “spirit”, “grave”, “family Buddhist altar”, and so on. Humans are destined to solitude, yet they are not alone (You Are Not Alone). The titular animated film has already become a big hit, but it might feel even richer in atmosphere if you remember this statement as you watch. That is what I have been thinking about lately.
