Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker claims that everyone is alone but that being in a relationship makes this easier to bear. The distinction gives companionship value without presenting it as an end to loneliness. It is a guarded view of connection, allowing comfort while retaining an underlying sense of separation.
