“My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication— it makes them sociable I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness— it is all that I have— and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well”
— Franz Kafka
Simplified Meaning:
Some people use drugs and alcohol to feel less lonely and make friends. I don't want to do that because my loneliness is a part of me. When the effects of the drugs and alcohol wear off, my friends will still feel lonely just like I do.
