    Swedish. Unfortunately it doesn't sound as cool as it might look when written, I've always had a preference for english.

    My sig is latin though.

    I disagree; Swedish sounds very beautiful compared to English, in my opinion. I think German is the most beautiful sounding language, compared to all of the languages I've heard. Is Swedish your native tongue?

    If you're curious, here's the connections I see. Maybe you can tell me how accurate they are:

    Swedish | German | English

    Tillsammans | zusammen | together

    är | ist | is

    man | man | one

    mindre, I do not understand.

    I think that ensam may be related to the German 'einsam' but I am not sure.

    For beauty, can't beat the spanish language, IMO. I refer to proper Castillian spanish, btw.

    I think Chinese, German & English are the least attractive sounding languages.

    I really like that Starbuck. That is true, to be in harmony with oneself is more important than being with others. I heard from some married people that they are still suffering from that painful feeling of being lonely while as they say are in successful relationship.

    Happiness if a frame of mind. It isn't another person. Though another person can be a cause to that frame of mind. There is no being alone or not. How you spend your time is no ones business as long as you enjoy it. I think none of it has to do with not trusting people, sometimes I just prefer to be in private. Most of the time I am around people though.

    Me too, I am always surrounded by people at work, either much older than me or much younger than me!!.. It is not a joke but that is the way it is. I like the way you express it as 'Happiness is a frame of mind' rather than a person or group of people. I am so social when I am with others..that is what is said about me!! while i feel still lonely.. strange, isnt it?

    No, not really. I feel like that very often. Even when with my friends I can still feel lonely. Who knows, maybe that is what people mean by the term "they complete me" when they refer to a significant other. Which is best when one realizes that the state of being doesn't depend on having people around you, people depend on having you around them rather. I almost daily hang out with friends and other people and it sometimes even interferes with work...but I never call them ...they always call me or come by. Sometimes I wish I could spend a lot of time alone with out having to think about things like work, friends, women, and life. I wish I could just freely be able to sit down and relax like never before
