DOES ALONE = LONELY?

[Maggot]

I was in a Chinese joint the other day and this family of Koreans (yes I can tell the difference between Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Thais) and they were at their bowls of rice all of them about 3 inches from the bowls shoveling in white rice like it was their last meal. Nobody talked they just sat there shoveling it in super fast. I've seen it before but it's been awhile. It brought back a bunch of memories.
It looked lonely but I know it wasn't.
