Diamond’s Solitary Man is a bitter, hurt by love creation. Solitary to avoid more betrayal, in love. But we’re all alone, in love or in friendship. All love is betrayal, we love our idea of another person, and they love their idea of us. And our friendships are about fitting in socially, not about our individual nature. That’s the lesson life tries to teach all of us, but it’s rarely learned. The greatest friendship and love comes from those who are solitary, not needing others. Everything else is co-dependency.
