How
sweet was this? Looking at the tables full of sailors eating,
chatting and smiling, I realized that I was one of those rarest of
individuals – someone who had found his Tribe. In a world cursed
with profound loneliness that is deliberately hidden behind the
charade of cyber connectivity, I was blessed with genuine
community.
These
were not Facebook friends, they were face-to-face friends. We were
not communicating via screens and pixels. We were interacting with
our voices, our glances, our laughter.
