Is he a stranger to all who meet him and everyone he knows, or does he know no one, and everybody treats him like a stranger?

The man of mystery, who keeps to himself and is like an island far away at sea, may eventually find there is a time when he needs others.

The world can seem so cold, then, when the outsider is wanting for the bond of human company.

For true friendship is as rare as gold, and as much a gift as a time of giving.
