Man cannot and will not exist alone even if he is literally alone.

There are three different aspects of existence which he yet needs to fulfil before being called alone, to wit cogito (I think), volo (I will), and ago (I act) and a man just cant. Being isolated does not actually makes a man alone. Although he may confuse isolation to being alone, the way he thinks is actually a manifestation of his co-existence with others. What he knows at the present is a product of what he experienced himself and what he learned from others. And his experience only made sense because he understands it through the knowledge he gained from others who gave meaning to it before he did. If he otherwise experience something new which havent been experience before, he can only understand, interpret and give meaning to it by referring to his already gained knowledge. And then the cycle repeats again. The same goes with his will. Our resolve, our desire and our motivation are products of the world today and what surrounds us. They set moods or ambiance that affects our affective domain. If a man existed during the WWII, then his will be greatly affected by his country and his need to protect his own. As such his existence is influenced by others. Conversely, if a man exists later in the future, then even in his isolation, his thoughts, aspirations and dreams, his very self, will most probably be influenced by rapid environmental changes (worse than what we experience today) and the continuing advancement in technology. This proves that a man cannot be alone even in his will. And the mans action also shouts that a man cannot be alone. Even the most secluded man relies on tool or equipment whose concept is made or formed before or during his existence. Henceforth whenever he utilizes these tools he is tied with or connected with others. For example, language. Language is a tool for communication developed by man in order to satisfy his need to communicate and be understood. Thus, whenever a person speaks or uses any form of language, verbal or non-verbal, he uses a tool produced by earlier or present others. Likewise, whatever that man develops at the present time will most probably be retained in the future and be used by the future others. For that reason, even in his seclusion, the man is not alone for he is, in some way or another, connected with past, present and future others. The world where a man exists is a world created by others. It is through with others that a man exists as much as others exist through the existence of that man and other men. Therefore the existence of man refers to his being with others.
