There is so much symbolism in this speech. Earth is the vacation ( the island). All human beings have our fair share of tragedy and heartaches. If you are here long enough it’s bound to happen. It’s unavoidable. If we are lucky enough, we meet some awesome people and make some incredible memories along the way. It’s the only thing we can take with us but make no mistake. We are mostly lonely here because it’s not our home. We are just on vacation. Ultimately, we will long to go home at some point.
