But what made It bearable were the friendships, of course, the camaraderie and the music and the Shakespeare, the moments of transcendent beauty and joy when it didn't matter who'd used the last of the rosin on their bow or who anyone had slept with, although someone - probably Sayid - had written Sartre: Hell is other people in pen inside one of the caravans, and someone else had scratched out other people' and substituted flutes.
The narrative reflects on how friendships, camaraderie, music, and art provided solace amidst difficult times. The relationships formed not only brought joy and beauty but also gave a sense of belonging. In such moments, trivial disputes, like who used the last rosin or personal matters, became insignificant. It highlights a deep human connection that transcends the chaos of everyday life.
Even in a challenging environment, the community found solace in shared experiences. The reference to Sartre's quote humorously altered to replace "other people" with "flutes" suggests that, while interactions can be fraught, beauty can arise from those very connections. This underscores the theme that relationships and creativity are vital for emotional survival.
