Loneliness is a hard thing to handle. I feel it, sometimes. When I do, I want it to end. Sometimes, when you're near someone, when you touch them on some level that is deeper than the uselessly structured formality of casual civilized interaction, there's a sense of satisfaction in it.

Transformation is the shift of the principle which orients the person's life, which is ordinarily the principle of gaining satisfaction.
